Hammer Stahl 6-Inch Chef’s Knife

Product Description

The Hammer Stahl 6-Inch Chef’s Knife offers a shorter, easy-to-control blade for a wide variety of everyday cooking prep. Accessible to beginners and versatile enough for experienced cooks, its compact size makes it a practical companion when you want the versatility of a chef’s knife without a longer blade.

German-forged X50CrMoV15 high-carbon stainless steel provides a durable cutting edge, while the quad-tang handle exposes steel on all four sides for balance and comfort. Packaged in a foam-padded gift box with magnetic latches, it makes a thoughtful gift for someone building their kitchen essentials.

Part of a family-run American kitchenware business based in Clarksville, Tennessee, Hammer Stahl draws on a manufacturing heritage dating to 1874. Donald Henn established New Era in 1981 after purchasing Vollrath’s consumer division. New Era added Hammer Stahl cutlery in 2008, bringing traditional German forging methods together with thoughtfully designed handles.
