Description

Honed and Hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the knives' laser- controlled edge is incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these three rivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives. This is a classic French chef's knife, with a broad blade and a curved cutting edge for rocking through a chopping task. The 8-inch blade suits most cooks, though those with small hands might prefer a 6-inch knife, and those with bigger hands might choose a 10-inch one. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of knives this size and larger combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain- resistant bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no- stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting- edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

  • Sharp, durable, and a bargain.
Color: Black Size: 8" Style: Chef's Knife
The current price point is fantastic. I have a Cutco (yeah, I know) chef's knife and it's over 25 years old. I keep it sharp and it holds and edge. That said, the Zwillings will now be my daily driver. The steel is better, the edge is sharper, the handle is more comfortable, and while I know this is controversial, I love the bolster. Chopped up a ton of garlic and onions for a loaf of bread with ease. Broke down a chicken, no problem including the spatchcock. At around $75, this is a huge bargain for an amazing knife. ... show more

  • Danger, Extremely sharp.
Color: Black Size: 8" Style: Chef's Knife
When I got this knife I was excited, it had a nice heavy feel to it, the Grip is what I'm use to and the size is perfect. It looks great in my knife block and I only hand wash. The only problem is the quality of the knife, I have never seen a knife so sharp. When I first used it I was cutting a tomato and I accidentally touched my right hand with the blade, and soon I was bleeding, then I accidentally tapped my thumb with the point of the knife, well guess what, I started bleeding. All my prior knives I've had before when I did that would never do that. So, my advice is be very careful when using this knife. ... show more

  • Great Value
Color: Black Size: 8" Style: Chef's Knife
Cuts well and has not dulled yet. I bought my son a $250 chef knife from what I think is the sister brand for this. I think this knife was just as good as that.

This is the only chef's knife you will ever need. High quality German steel. Comfortable grip and sharp as can be. I use it all the time and it always gives me the results I need.

  • Best chef's knife I have owned
Color: Black Size: 8" Style: Chef's Knife
Many years ago, I was part owner of a chain of coffee shops. Although the menu was typical coffee shop fare, I had to be in a position to step in if we lost a cook, or if they got backed up in the kitchen and needed help. That was more than forty years ago, but the skills I developed--especially knife skills--have stayed with me, even though I cook only for my family these days. You just can't overstate the pleasure of working with really good tools--a properly shaped 8" saute pan for eggs, a large saute pan, and a really good chef's knife. Even in that mundane coffee shop cook line, the best cooks who worked for me always brought their own knives--and woe betide the person who dared to touch another cook's knives without permission. That extended to me as well, even though I owned the place. I decided recently that it would be nice to replace my venerable, oft-sharpened chef's knife. It was still serviceable, but I thought it might be nice to treat myself to the best knife I could find (within reason). I decided on the Zwilling Pro "S." What a pleasure this knife is to use. It's not just that it's very sharp--any new knife should be sharp. It is the perfect balance of this knife, the way it fits your hand. A chef's knife should be held primarily between thumb and forefinger, just forward of the bolster. The handle nestles in the user's palm for support, but the thumb and forefinger guide the blade precisely. My wife teases me about using such a large knife for slicing and chopping small items like garlic or tomatoes. I respond by showing her how I can slice a cherry tomato into ten paper-thin slices. Then I offer her the knife and suggest that she try the same thing. That gets me an eye roll. Even though the price may seem steep for such a basic component of batterie de cuisine, I consider it a bargain. It will surely outlast me, and I plan to include it in my will along with other prized items. Anyone who is remotely serious about the art of cooking should consider a knife of this quality. You'll never regret it. ... show more

  • excellent craftmanship in a particular style - not for everyone
Color: Black Size: 8" Style: Chef's Knife
Very well made knife, top reviewed -- by comparison, I've been using a Sabatier chef's knife for nearly everything in the kitchen, and found it excellent for all-purpose use -- but it was stamped steel not forged, and eventually got metal fatigue and broke between handle and blade. But it was nice: light, deft, easy-handling, with a concave-ground blade that sliced nicely through anything - slightly flexible, quick to sharpen. By contrast, the Henkels chef knife is larger, heavier, stiffer, harder, a real Germanic sort of approach: highly crafted but without subtlety -- the thing is case-hardened (cold-hardened) so it's rigid not flexible at all, and needs a special high-hardness sharpening steel to keep it sharp (when it needs sharpening, don't know how long the edge will last.) It works impressively well for meat, nothing stands in its way; but the blade is somewhat convex in shape, so things stick to it a bit more and it takes a little more pressure to cut veggies etc. The knife feels as if it were made to suit a large powerful chef with big hands, so a definite feeling of overkill in moderate use. By comparison, the old french Sabatier knife was for surgeons, this new Henkels knife is for butchers. That is, excellent, but handle it before you buy one, it may or may not be what you'll be most comfortable with. ... show more
