Product Description
ZWILLING Pro is the most user-friendly knife available to market. The unique blade shape and ergonomic bolster are the result of 280 years of experience in knife making, and the rigorous Study of how knives are used. A unique curved bolster supports the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was redesigned with a broader curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the Asian chopping motion. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip designed in Italy by matteo thun and made in Germany by ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS, the company that sets the standard for exceptional cutlery worldwide. The zwilling Pro chef's knife is the workhorse of the kitchen. Whether chopping, slicing, or dicing, the broad blade and comfortable, balanced size will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2025Color: BlackSize: 8"Verified PurchaseI upgraded from a nice stainless knife to this one for a better edge. I sharpened it once upon arrival and now 8 months later after daily use it's still sharp.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2023Color: BlackSize: 8"Verified PurchaseThis is my fifth Zwilling Pro knife and I have had to adjust my technique to each of them: 10" chef, 5" boning, 7" fillet, 4" paring, and now this 8" chef knife. The balance is heavily to the handle end of the knife. The blade has a profound curve that makes it good for rocking cuts, but also makes the knife seem like it has a blade shorter than 8". It took a while to adjust to the design. I have to start my slices closer to the handle or I run out of blade when slicing even small diameter things like scallions. In contrast, the 10" chef knife felt like a long machete when I first picked it up a few years ago, but I got used to it and it too is an excellent chef knife. I use the 10" model at a relative's house, and the 8" model at mine. I prefer the 8" model for its versatility. I have big hands, yet I prefer the shorter knife. (My wife, who has small hands, prefers a shorter and lighter 6" chef knife.)
This is a great series of knives. Very high quality and easy to sharpen with a modern electric sharpener like a Trizor sharpener. There is no bolster to get in the way.

Was going to give as a gift but can’t give it with the state that it got delivered. The delivery itself was fine and not damaged but the product itself seems used and dirty.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024Color: BlackSize: 8"Verified PurchaseI was sent the wrong model, one I already had, so I returned this model. Zwilling Pro knives are the best affordable knives I have found. They hold their sharp edge and are always ready to tackle the toughest jobs.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020Color: BlackSize: 8"Verified PurchaseVery sharp, sturdy construction, great balance. I did a lot of research and comparison shopping before selecting the Zwilling Pro and I don’t regret buying this knife. This 8 inch Chef’s knife is the workhorse of the kitchen. Handle’s design encourages proper grip. Be careful: the Zwilling Pro knives are sharper than most residential knife sets. A “cut glove” gives me peace of mind if I’m prepping during happy hour.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2023Color: BlackSize: 8"Verified PurchaseIt arrived today. First impressions are good. The knife doesn’t feel heavy. Weight shouldn’t be an issue for a home cook. Blade has markings from Germany.
