## Overview

The ZWILLING PROFESSIONAL S 8-inch Chef's Knife is a precision-forged, single-piece high-carbon no-stain steel blade manufactured in Germany. Featuring Friodur ice-hardening for superior edge retention and a laser-controlled honed edge, it delivers lasting sharpness and durability. Its ergonomic three-rivet polymer handle bonded to a full tang ensures balanced, comfortable handling. Trusted by professional chefs worldwide, this knife combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology for exceptional performance in any kitchen.

## Description

Honed and Hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the knives' laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these three rivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives. This is a classic French chef's knife, with a broad blade and a curved cutting edge for rocking through a chopping task. The 8-inch blade suits most cooks, though those with small hands might prefer a 6-inch knife, and those with bigger hands might choose a 10-inch one. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of knives this size and larger combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use Features.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this made? Germany?**
A: The chefs knife was made in Germany. In my opinion The Henckels made in Germany are the best choice, and the other ones, made in Spain are second. Ones made anywhere else and you might save your money and get Chicago Cutlery.

**Q: what is the blade width?**
A: At the handle the blade is 1 and 13/16" high.

**Q: Is there a case available for the Henckel 8" chef's knife?**
A: I am sorry but we do not provide a case for this knife. Any 8" sheath made for chef's knives will fit.

**Q: Does this knife arrive sharp, ready to use or must it be sharpened on stones before first use?**
A: My knife arrived sharp and ready to use. However, I have ruined one in the past by sharpening it with a stone. I now use a sharpener that you draw the knife through and it works very well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best chef's knife I have owned
*by J***S on November 9, 2019*

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.
