Ratings & Reviews for Zwilling Pro 8inch Traditional Chef Knife

The difference between the 8” Chef knife and this traditional 8” Chef knife is that this knife is narrower. And I actually prefer this knife over the other because of that fact. I break down a lot of large cuts of meat and can manage maneuvering around to get the cuts I’m looking for.

A Narrow Pro Chef is nice!

This narrow version of a Pro 8" chef is perfect for anyone who's not into wide knife. Not so small or not so big on their hand, at the same time you'll have perfect control for it's pinch grip knife. Comfortable, balanced size will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks. It's the most easiest to sharpen for it's half bolster, nothing gets in the way no matter what you sharpened it either stone or machine.

I bought this knife for my friend and her husband and they love it. I'm not surprise its a fabulous knife!

I was so glad when Zwilling came out with this 8" Chef. The curve on the blade is slightly straighter than on the regular Pro Chef knife. It has all the features and beauty of the Pro line with a more streamlined look and feel. I like to rock when I cut but also like to chop and this blade enables me to do both.

Perfect 8" Chef

Workhorse of the kitchen and its my favorite gift to give for a new household, or some one who needs an all round, do everything knife. Made in Germany with special formula steel and ice hardened - all adds up to one durable, lasting knife.

The Best Chef's Knife

Pro 8" Chef's knife is my favorite knife. Really like the shape and quality. Feels like a Professional Knife and cuts, chops and slices perfectly.

Exceptional

I love, love, love the feel of this knife. Super comfortable handle. I use this knife for 80% of my food prep. Solid enough for cutting through chicken pieces and butternut squash, yet sharp and fine enough for slicing herbs and vegetables. I love this knife!!

Great traditional blade

This is a great alternative to the other Zwilling Pro 8” Chef knife. This has more of that traditional feel and shape to it which you grow to love from German knives. The stainless steel construction and the curved bolster really help make it standout against other traditional German knives

Cut like a pro with this knife

This 8" traditional chef's knife is a great knife to have in your block or drawer. The unique curved bolster on the Pro line of knives provides ultimate comfort and control and makes the user feel like a professional!

Top of the line.

This knife exceeds all expectations. Really good weight, comfortable. sharp. Makes food prep so enjoyable. Really the only knife I need.

Contemporary Classic

Love, love the slanted bolster. I use a pinch grip. It is really is that much more comfortable. The slimmer width of the traditional blade feels very familiar when cutting. I like this knife for everyday cooking tasks. for as much as I use it, it holds it's edge so well!

Great knife

Great knife, I been using it everyday since I received the knife.

Slices and dices with ease!!

What a perfect gift for Christmas! Slices potatoes effortlessly and fits in hand comfortably. I’m a fan!

Comfortable handle

I love this knife! Very comfortable, easy to maneuver and the blade is sharp! Its worth the money!

only one problem

If only the knife were self cleaning it would be perfect. This is another replacement knife for my kitchen, have been changing out to the Zwilling Pro and almost complete now. I love these knifes, great balance, sharp and a nice fit in my hand. I find it very controllable and easy to use safely. I it used on a daily basis, multiple times, and so far the edge is holding up nicely with an occasional swipe on a steel.

Great Knife

I bought this knife for routine kitchen prep because it is relatively compact in size but the blade has sufficient width for safely dicing, chopping and mincing, the handle is high enough to allow various grips for rapid action. The gentle curve permits efficient rocking. Knife is very sharp and stays sharp with simple steel honing.

Build Quality Issue

I ordered online and received my order quickly but there is a problem. The handle scales are not flush with the tang. You can feel the metal edge of the tang in your palm resulting in uncomfortable handling. The handle and tang should be perfectly flush. Where is the quality control? I am considering returning the item.

Birthday Gift

I bought this knife for my daughter to replace her old chef knife and she loves it.

Can't beat German steel.

This was bought as a Christmas gift for my mother. I already knew what to expect from Henckels knives, I've had mine for years and use it daily. I have been a Line Cook for almost twenty years and have trusted these knives for at least the last fifteen. You can not beat good quality German steel.
