## Description

ZWILLING Pro is the most user-friendly knife available to market.

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 5.5" Ultimate Prep Knife will become the go-to knife in your kitchen. It excels at a multitude of tasks like peeling and chopping vegetables and fruit, slicing meats and cheeses, butterflying chicken breasts, deveining shrimp and much more. The well-designed blade of the allows for plenty of knuckle clearance when you're chopping on a cutting board yet is small enough for in-hand paring tasks, such as peeling and trimming apples and potatoes. Cooks with small hands will appreciate the compact size of this versatile knife.

Review: Great Knife - Great Knife! Holds an edge well. Size is good. Use it everyday.
Review: Sure beat my other new chef's knife - So, I purchased this at a discount. Around $100.00 USD. I had recently purchased a US made knife from a reputable manufacturer for a bit more and though I usually try to purchase US made products when I can, this knife was nothing but problems. The edge would roll and chip and I was constantly having to take it to the stone to repair it. I contacted the US company (I have purchased many of their hunting knives in the past) to try to a replacement. I sent them pictures and they said the knife had been abused. I guess dicing carrots is abusive because that was about as tough as it got for that knife. Oh well. On to this knife. I looked at the build quality out of the box, looked top notch. Solid, sharp and great weight. I love the tapered bolster for pinch grip and the handle overall is comfortable. I prepped some vegs for a stew (including carrots) and no rolling, so it must been able to put up with the abuse. Seriously, it's a very high quality chef's knife that is a good value for the money. Quality steel, comfortable, and sturdy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it really a 6" blade? Why does it say 16.5 in?**
A: ThIs blade is 6” long. You can also choose 8” or 10” blade lengths. The 16.5” figure is likely the packaging for the 10” blade.

**Q: What is the difference besides price in classic n this knife z twilling ?**
A: I know Henkels has a variety of levels of cutlery.  I purchase the 4 star level.  Had this knife in the 4 star for about 20 years and just replaced it with the same this year.  Money well spent if you use and care for them correctly. The rest of mine I have sharpened occasionally and have only done that for the last few years.  Finally lost the edge after all that time.

**Q: where is this knife manufactured?**
A: It's been a while since I ordered any of these knives, but the ones I have were all manufactured in Germany.

**Q: The description of 6" knife really refers to the blade length, correct?**
A: Yes... good all-around knife, 6inch blade, yet a tiny short... plus, is more of an utility knife than a chef’s knife... lacks a bigger belly to be a real chef knife...
