Calphalon Contemporary 6-Inch Chef's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While looking at cutlery for a wedding present a couple months ago I stumbled on Calphalon's new line.Being cheap by nature I was intrigued by their prices on chef's knives.This led me to get myself one of their 8" models.It is a great knife with only one drawback - it's almost too big for my small handed wife.Although it almost killed me to pay more for a smaller knife I recently purchased a six inch version.This knife we both love.Fit, finish, and balance all would make you swear that this is a high grade tool.Although priced nearer the cheapened up versions of Chicago Cutlery found in the Marts this is a knife that feels like it is a high grade piece.On the downside the knife is not German or American made but is another Chinese product.Unlike a lot of stuff from over there this time they got it right.
