Zwilling Professional S, Chef Knife, Kitchen Knife, German Knife, 8-in

Purchased this 10" Professional S knife for my husband. He's over six feet tall, and he's always complaining that the 8" chef's knife that we have is too small.He really loves how this knife fits in his hand. Nice grip and bolster that does not rub up against his finger. Longer blade makes it easy to cut and chop large quantities in a shorter time.Easy to maintain, just hone as you go, and no need to re sharpen for quite some time. Zwilling special formula steel makes all the difference in the world. Also nice purchasing a product from a company who's been around for so may decades.

Micro-serrated edge never needs sharpening. -Durable, extremely strong. -High functionality. -Handwash recommended. Product Type: -Sharpening steel. Construction: -Stamped. Primary Material: -Stainless steel. The ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS special formula steel convinces with its optimum balance of chromium and carbon content - the secret of, particularly high-quality steel. FRIODUR branded knives have been ice-hardened to enhance their quality. They have exceptional cutting properties, are especially corrosion-resistant and flexible.

My husband bought this for me...it cuts thru everything like a hot knife thru butter! No struggle, no tugging and so smooth! But, be careful, I've nicked my finger and saw blood before I felt it! It also cut thru my fingernail. I'm not a klutz, lol, I promise! I immediately wash and hand dry the knife, my husband hones it and then we wrap it in a wash cloth and keep it on top of the bar counter. I definitely recommend this knife to everyone! They're a little pricey, but worth it! You also get a lifetime guarantee!

Use it everyday since I do cook a lot! I was trying to save some money and bought some of the off brand knives, and I have to admit it’s wrong! Instead of keep switching around the cheap knives I really should stick with this one! The angle at the end of the handle make the knife comfortable and stable, it makes the cutting job sooooo much easier! OUTSTANDING CUTLERY!

Disappointing purchase!

The tip of the knife was not perfectly sharpened or perfectly straight. Definitely not up to the standards I’ve come to expect from Zwilling Henckels.It arrived in a box that was far too big and the plastic sheath was cut through at the top so the knife blade was half exposed in the box. I’ve always had tip protectors on every other knife purchase. I believe that is what caused this imperfection. In addition, I hope the handle discoloration will not impact the longevity of use. This is the first time I have been disappointed with a Zwilling Henckels purchase and I buy A LOT from you (usually at your warehouse sale).THIS PURCHASE WAS A HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT!

I Keep going for this One

The ultimate verdict on how you like a knife is it's place in the kitchen block and how often is used. Well, I use it a LOT! I have various knives in my collection, but always seem to grab these classic triple riveted traditional Zwillings. They seem to be better balanced. My hand feels protected form the cutting. They also sharpen very well. I have also noticed that they hold up their value very consistently, sometimes even increasing. It is one of my favorite knives, without doubt.

My 3rd Henckels set.

I had my first set of Henckels knives back in 1986 when I was in my 3rd year in the restaurant business and learning to be a chef. I then vowed I would never go back into the culinary field because by 20 years of age, I was tired of it. I went into the infantry/artillery field in the USMC.Eventually I got out of the military and had my 2 daughters and my son in the way so I ended up falling back into the culinary world as a consultant and chef. I bought another set of Henckels... beautiful, classics. Years went by and I ended up divorced and my Henckels were gone.Now... I have started buying my set and my kids got me this for a Christmas present. I have and will always love my Henckels knives.

Outstanding Chef’s Knife

I am blown away by the Finishing on the Miyabi 600D Wide Chef’s knife resulting from the collaboration with Chef Morimoto. In comparing with my other high end Japanese knives Miyabi has taken the time to round and polish the tine as well as the point of the heel. The Damascus finish is beautifully done. The weight of the knife is substantial and perfectly balanced. This knife punches well above its weight for a six inch blade and has quickly become my goto chef’s knife

Phenomenal Knife

I purchased the 8" Professional "S" because I was sick of cheap chef's knives that need constant honing. It's well-designed, so my hand doesn't cramp if I need to cut for longer periods. I find it to be sharper than other chef's knives I've owned in the past, and it keeps its edge well. This was a purchase I would gladly make again and was definitely worth the investment.

Very sturdy and sharp. Well worth the cost.

I keep all of my kitchen knives sharp enough to shave with so I am picky about sharpness. I am very happy with how sharp this knife came. It is well built and solid. I have always been happy with Henkels knives.
