Tramontina Plenus 6" keukenmes, roestvrij staal

I was worried a six-inch blade might feel too short, but the thermal-treated edge has held up beautifully through prepping onions and peppers without dulling. It's lightweight enough for quick work yet balanced, and it rinsed clean easily in the dishwasher.

This little 6-inch blade is my new go-to for slicing fruit and small veggies, and the thermal treatment on the edge means it’s still razor-sharp after a month of daily use. Even tossed it in the dishwasher a few times without any rust, which is a relief.

The handle is surprisingly comfortable for a knife this size, and the blade edge has held up through a week of daily veggie prep without dulling. It’s light enough to feel nimble but feels solid in the hand. Tossed it in the dishwasher a few times already and it came out looking brand new.
