ZWILLINGJ.A. Henckels Pro 6" Chef's Knife, Black

The SHAPE of 6" zwillig pro is the deal maker or breaker. Some reviewers dislike it. I love the scimitar shape. I can stab into a head of cauliflower and then follow through. The weight of the knife assists me so my hands don't work so hard. The 6" blade is manageable for a female or someone with small hands. The beefy blade means I can put my left hand on top of the knife for an extra assist. This isn't standard knife technique but if you have weak hands or arthritis you will know why this helps.If you're used to the rocking back & forth motion for speed cutting, you might dislike this shape. The super wide blade means items adhere to it as you slice. You must pause and remove food from the knife. If I were working in a commercial kitchen this would seem too slow.. I would want that speed cutting. As a home cook I listen to music and relax when I prep, so I don't mind a slower knife. Also, it's beautiful. I like the way it looks on my magnetic knife holder.I bought the 6 inch zwillig pro chef to replace a henkels 8 inch chef I got 42 years ago for my first cooking job. The Henkel knife performed great for 42 years, but when I got arthritis, food prep became painful and dangerous. The new zwillig 6" is a total game changer. It's a beast [in a good way].

Bought this knife for my husband and he likes it very much. I find it a little heavy. It is made well and very sharp. Good value.

This PRO series knife appears to have a better fit and finish compared to the Four Star J.A. Henckels in our kitchen. The size, balance and sharpness makes this new addition to our kitchen tools a favorite when preparing meals. Also loved the price!

I bought this knife for my wife who has smaller hands and didn't do well with the 8" chef knives. She loves it! Package arrived roughly a week after purchase. The knife itself is super sharp! Be careful pulling it out of the box! We have used the knife a few times already and we're impressed with it. Recommended.

I purchases these knowing the reputation of Zwilling knives. I'm satisfied with the knives and their quality. However, my knives were packaged in a way that seemed less than the highly professional reputation that Zwilling is known for. Also some of the original packaging was faded like it had been sit-in in the sun for some time. I'd like to know why and what store is selling this product on Amazon.

Have several of these knives. Have been slowly upgrading our standard to the Pro line. Love how they feel in my hand, they are easy to maneuver when chopping.

Excellent handle, excellent blade craftsmanship. I can always rely on Henckles. This blade was properly crafted so as to not have sharp flat areas that can cause pain on your hands when doing long sessions of onion chopping! I've always been a fan of Henckles and will continue to be.

Blade shape makes this knife ideal for every kitchen job except paring, and the 6 inch length means you never have to go camping, fishing, or on vacation without a good kitchen knife. Love the bolster profile, perfect for choking up and getting precise control. Full tang, great steel... I'd carry it as a belt knife if it had a decent sheath.Update... since I got the Wustoff 4 1/2" prep knife, this knife almost never comes out... especially since I cut my index finger on the heel. The bolster offers no protection at the base of the blade. Still useful, but it has been demoted.
