Must have knife
Would RecommendI love this santoku! A must have in every kitchen. Sharp, easy to handle, and versatile. The hollow edge makes it so easy to cut into cucumber and release them from the knife. A BIFL!

Excellent gift
Nicely packaged for easy Christmas wrapping. My granddaughter wants to pursue a career in the culinary industry and will surely appreciate her first good quality prep knife.

Good size and well ballanced
I really enjoy using this knife as it is very well. Balanced and the small size of 5.5 makes it ideal for cutting things like chicken, small steaks and even some vegetables. The little rivets on the side make the knife not stick to the meat. Which makes things very convenient.

Quality of Sharpness
Would RecommendAs much as Cutco is bad mouthed, their 'Quality of Sharpness' is Topnotch, and so far, only the very high end can dethrone the champ 🏆.

Extremely nice looking and quality finish.
Would RecommendLike other Zwilling knives that I have purchased. It comes with a great edge. The blade is tough enough for every day use but will not be too difficult to sharpen. Absolutely fantastic looking both blade/handle finish and materials. I do feel the handle is a bit heavy and makes this a little bit unbalanced. That said for the type of chopping you do with a 5.5inch knife. Its really not an issue in actual use. Only noticeable when you first pick it up. In the end, this is not my favorite knife i...

Santoku Knife is a Win!
This knife is perfect for chopping and preparing veggies and I also use it for meat. I bought an extra one for my son, who's studying culinary arts and his last name is "Zwilling" so we've always loved these products. High quality products. I watch for the sales!

The perfect medium sized multi-purpose knife
Would RecommendMy family uses our Zwilling Pro S 5.5" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife multiple times a day and have been doing so for at least 10 years. It is by far the knife of choice for my wife and also my mother-in-law when mincing, chopping or slicing as it is the perfect size for their hands. When I saw the Zwilling Pro 5.5" version on sale I immediately jumped on it, ordering two for my sons for their eventual use when they establish their own households.
