We have purchased all of our cookware from them and absolutely love them. Recently I purchased the Short Chefs Knife and it’s the bomb! Plan on getting more ASAP. I had to speak with Julia with their customer service and she met my expectations high and beyond. If you’re thinking twice about purchasing your cookware from Misen, don’t, you won’t be disappointed!

I have many different brand kitchen knives. I have some from Japan as well. I find these knives (Short Chef and Santuko) to be the sharpest knives right out of the box I have ever used! I highly recommend them! Great deal for the price!

I have four of your knives from the original chef’s knife to a similar looking paring knife. This newest version is my ideal for balance and control. I will be buying more for other members of my family.

I love my chef's knife. It feels great and is extremely sharp. The high quality is evident. I will be adding more Misen knives to my collection.

All Misen knives are amazing considering the price. I have the full set but the regular 8" chef knife was a bit longer than my small hands needed. I was excited to see them come out with a short chef knife. I do prefer the blade length and profile of this shorter knife, but the primary drawback is that the balance is not the same as with the 8" chef or the santoku. The short chef knife is more handle-heavy, and where their other knives have their fulcrum right at the start of the sloped bolster (great for a pinchgrip) this one's fulcrum is about a half inch further down the handle. I wish they had taken a bit of weight off the handle to keep the same balance. All this to say, others may prefer a slightly more handle-heavy knife. With the balance difference and more sloped blade this one is actually better for rocking and feels more like a German style knife. Take that as you may.

This knife is sharp and the size is great for cutting or chopping just about anything I need

We are very pleased with our chef's knife. It has been exactly as advertised.

This knife is just the right size and weight. It came very sharp from the factory. Love this knife. I use it all the time now. its my go to slicer for everything

I already owned 3 of these before ordering this one. I also ordered one for two of my friends a couple years back. It is a simple conclusion; I like this particular knife. People I have shared this with like this knife. I have a kind of large meaty hand, and this works so much better for me in many was verses a paring knife.

Perfect size when the 8” chef’s knife is too big. All the same features, just as sharp, perfectly balanced. My wife prefers it, and uses it daily! This and the 8” chef’s knife do 95% of our cooking prep. Please make a bundle of these 2 and the paring knife! I’d buy the first 3 sets for Christmas presents!

I love the 6.5" Chef Knife, as it is very easy to handle and cut items. I had bought the 8" Chef Knife and like that also, but this is easier for me to utilize. I am very happy with all 3 of my knives that I have gotten through Misen. Thank you!

These are the best knives on the market for the price, hands down. Great quality and they look amazing as well. Very happy. I will be buying more.

Great knife, may be my new favorite after the 5.5”

Was looking for a slightly shorter chef knife. Having other Misen knives, and really liking them, bought this one. Like my other knives, very sharp, comfortable to hold & use. I would have preferred a shorter blade as this one isn’t really that much shorter; listed as 6.5”, it measured closer to 7 +”. The length I would have preferred would have been 6”.

Quality is first rate, design is superb. The curve of the edge is just perfect for all around use. However, it is quite large for a 6.5" knife. I would call it a seven-inch length at least (or even slightly more). I don't know how to measure it technically speaking, but it seems to be only a bit shorter than an eight-inch knife I have from another brand.

I love all Misen products, especially the knives! They are easy to handle, and so sharp!!

The 6.5 inch chef knife is perfect for someone with small hands. Great control, and all the benefits of the 8” knife. It just fits a little better. I have both and use them both, depending on what I am preparing. I recently bought one for my daughter, who was complaining about the 8” as being too big. She, too, loves the 6.5” knife. It is now my go-to gift of choice for my friends who have never been introduced to a good quality chef knife.

I like this knife because it's smaller then the 8-in chef's knife and easier for my smaller hands to use in the kitchen. It's very balanced and and cuts smoothly with ease. I highly recommend it, and indeed all of Misen's knives.

This knife is used for everything related to cutting and is very sharp and keeps its edge without too much honing.
