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: Many years ago, I was part owner of a chain of coffee shops. Although the menu was typical coffee shop fare, I had to be in a position to step in if we lost a cook, or if they got backed up in the kitchen and needed help. That was more than forty years ago, but the skills I developed--especially knife skills--have stayed with me, even though I cook only for my family these days. You just can't overstate the pleasure of working with really good tools--a properly shaped 8" saute pan for eggs, a large saute pan, and a really good chef's knife. Even in that mundane coffee shop cook line, the best cooks who worked for me always brought their own knives--and woe betide the person who dared to touch another cook's knives without permission. That extended to me as well, even though I owned the place. I decided recently that it would be nice to replace my venerable, oft-sharpened chef's knife. It was still serviceable, but I thought it might be nice to treat myself to the best knife I could find (within reason). I decided on the Zwilling Pro "S." What a pleasure this knife is to use. It's not just that it's very sharp--any new knife should be sharp. It is the perfect balance of this knife, the way it fits your hand. A chef's knife should be held primarily between thumb and forefinger, just forward of the bolster. The handle nestles in the user's palm for support, but the thumb and forefinger guide the blade precisely. My wife teases me about using such a large knife for slicing and chopping small items like garlic or tomatoes. I respond by showing her how I can slice a cherry tomato into ten paper-thin slices. Then I offer her the knife and suggest that she try the same thing. That gets me an eye roll. Even though the price may seem steep for such a basic component of batterie de cuisine, I consider it a bargain. It will surely outlast me, and I plan to include it in my will along with other prized items. Anyone who is remotely serious about the art of cooking should consider a knife of this quality. You'll never regret it.
Review: Excellent very sharp knife. Great for cutting tomatoes and onions. My previous Zwilling 5-inch knife was losing its edge after 20 years. I took it to a guy that sharpens knives but he ruined it. No worries I bought another one and expect it will serve me well just like the last one. Very high quality. Don’t hesitate this is worth every penny.

## 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...
