Ratings & Reviews for Zwilling Pro 8inch Traditional Chef Knife

The chef's knife I've always wanted

It feels really good in my hand. Sharpest knife I've own fresh out of the box. Good weight, and great grip for finger-pinch hold.

Beautiful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing looks great and has cut through everything I've put in front of it like a dream! I love how the bolster is rounded. It keeps the spine from cutting into my finger. Only two small downsides: it should come with a cover of some sort and it's a bit more handle heavy than I expected. I feel like I naturally pick it up further down the handle than a usual pinch grip, but that's just nitpicking!

Zillion chef knife

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feels quality made, design allows for a very comfortable pinch grip on the blade, long enough for majority of prep work but short enough for more precise work and longer jobs. I have long arms suitable for 10” knife but prefer this 8” for more control. Definitely on the pricey side for a chef knife but worth it if you can afford it. Not able to discuss the longterm durability as I just got it this week.

Great knife!

Great every day chef's knife

An amazing and versatile knife. Super comfortable without the full bolster when using a pinch grip. Other knives can sometimes be about the glitz and glam, but for the price, this is the best! Take care of it properly and you will definitely get your money's worth.

8” traditional chef knife

I love the weight and the grip of this knife. My son loved it too, so I bought him one.....my daughter loves hers too. If you want a Great all around knife, this should be your choice. What are you waiting for?

Classic meets New

I have always loved Zwilling knives. When the Pro line first came out I was excited about the curved bolster, but wasnt sure about the blade shape on the Chefs knives. As a seasoned cook I am used to the traditional taper from tip to heel. I am so glad Zwilling cam out with the traditional shape in this line. The German stainless steel stays so sharp and is easy to resharpen. The curved shape bolster is very comfortable and cuts down on my fatigue while cutting.

Timeless Design

The traditional design gives you the classic German style chef knife. The unique feature of this knife is the curved bolster. This really gives you complete control over the blade when you use the “pinch” grip. It allows you to have precise cuts without feeling fatigue after cutting.

Great All-around Knife

As with the entire Pro line, this workhorse has a 45 degree bolster for easy pinching grip. The difference between standard Pro 8" chef and this guy is less curve in the blade, giving it the more traditional look

Best all around knife

I love this knife and the fact that I can use it for everything! The curve where the blade meets the handle makes it super comfortable to use this knife and it is so sharp that it goes through anything I put in it's path. I love the classic look of this knife and it would look great in any kitchen!

I am using this knife now replacing my pro chef that has the deeper curve on the blade. My daughter borrowed my usual chef knife so I decided to try this one. I really like how it moves on the cutting board! I have always loved the Zwilling Pro series with the gently curved bolster and the balanced handle but this traditional chef is a nice step up for my cutting skills, its a smoother movement than I was used to but is just as efficient if not more so. Best knives on the planet!

You'll want no other knife after feeling this one

Once you use this knife you'll want no other! The curved bolster is the hallmark of the Zwilling Pro series and it is the most comfortable forged bolster for the pinch grip. The weight of the handle and the blade is perfect...you are able to easily glide through any cutting job with this knife. It is extremely sharp and maintains it sharpness with regular honing. Only needs professional sharpening once a year depending on use!

Traditional Chef Knife

This is certainly a traditional chef knife. It is not as curved as a modern chef knife. This one is more like a santoku with a slight curve. That being said, it can be used for anything in the kitchen. I love using this knife, the ease of the blade and the handle make cutting a seamless process.

If you are looking for a reliable, sturdy and comfortable German Chef knife, this is the ONE! The Pro series is top-notch with the newer curved bolster and riveted handle. Works well for every job in the kitchen. Have been using this one for some time and it is my go-to knife for just about everything. Good price considering how much you will use this one.

SLICE, CUT, CHOP

I find this to be the ideal Chef knife if your tasks involve more slicing/cutting as the tip is noticeably more narrow than your standard chefs knife

Great Chef Knife

The traditional chef knife is a little narrower and less round than the Pro Chef. It makes it a little easier to perform some tasks while still having the amazing curved bolster. This is the workhorse knife that you will use every day, it will stay sharp and you will never have to replace it.
