I've been in the market for a mid-sized knife for a while now. My 10-inch chef's knife is too clumsy for some tasks, and my paring knives are too small. Enter the Henckels 6-inch utility blade.

The first thing I noticed was the wood handle -- I much prefer wood to the newer rubbery handles. Also, the heavy back-weighting made it feel quite steady in my hand: I liked the balance. The blade itself is sturdy, shaped like a small version of a chef's knife. And -boy!- is it sharp! This makes trimming small cuts of meat and vegetables very easy. I highly recommend this knife.

This knife is very versitle and extremely well made. It has perfect balance and is razor sharp. Prep work is a joyous experience with it. It stays sharp under heavy use for quite sometime. To maintain its edge, I only have to pass it a few times on each side against a sharpening rod. Its high carbon quality steel blade lends itself perfectly to honing a razor sharp edge that lasts for a long time compared to a stainless steel blade. If you purchase this high quality knife, it's imperative that you have a means to sharpen it to maintain its perfection.

I agree with the other positive reviews, so I won't repeat them. I wanted to add that I have small hands, and I really like this knife and the others in the Pro S line I've gotten so far. I can be clumsy, so having a comfortable knife is especially helpful. This particular knife is the one I choose for almost everything except bread, so if I had to choose just one knife, this would be it.

Since I got this knife to add to my collection, it has become my favorite. Perfect size and weight for a lot of uses. Future purchases will all be the Pro line. They are incredible!

I am no professional chef, but I do enjoy cooking. This knife does indeed work wonders (as far as cutting through things effortlessly goes).

I received mine in a nice black/clear case, and the knife was very well protected. Upon removing it from the packaging, I was immediately amazed at how sturdy but maneuverable this knife felt. For lack of a better description - it is perfectly balanced, allowing for precise control.

I can't attest to the usefulness of this knife, as I am still building my set, but I have a feeling it will be one of my top three used knives once the rest arrive.

I will admit that this is the most expensive knife I've ever purchased. I baby it and demand that everyone else in my house do the same. However it does cut very well. I've had it for over six months and haven't needed to sharpen it yet. I have passed it over the rod a few times and it brought the edge right back. I do like it.

I've used it for years, have many others, and it is still my favorite. I usually reach for this one for whatever I am doing unless it is some very small job. It sharpens well, over and over. I live abroad and have a maid and she also uses this knife almost exclusively. I finally broke a bit off the end of the handle (probably pounding jars open, some dumb thing) and am going to order a new one, even though I don't really need it.
