Questions & Answers

Is it made in the United States? Does Germany exist?

A German company based in Solnen There is an improvement in quality since a decade ago. Approximately 4% of their line has been fractionated. The classic blade is thinner than it used to be with less steel and the same price. The Wusthof knives are made from the same Solingen Steel and the quality remains the same. Instead of that line, buy that one.

Can you tell me how wide the blades are?

One and thirteen sixteenths of an inch is how tall the blade is at the handle.

Can the Henckel 8" chef's knife be stored in a case?

Sorry, but we do not provide a case for this knife. We recommend you get a sheath designed for chef's knives that fits this knife.

The blade is really 6" long, right? It says 16, so why do you think that? How long is 5 inches?

6" is the length of this blade. A 10" or 8" blade length is also an option. I am 16 years old. It is likely that the packaging for the 10" blade is a 5" figure.

Obtaining a replica knife based on my observations
3/5

I received what I believed to be a copy. Please review the knife you receive carefully and make sure it is a true Zwilling "pro" series knife. Upon requesting a refund, Amazon was happy to do so. This knife was distinctive in that it had a different bolster from a standard "pro" series knife, and the "R" seal wasn't next to the Zwilling It is my intention to make a potential buyer think twice before purchasing from this supplier after reading this review.

After two losses in a row, I'm out The reviews indicated this blade was a great choice and I was convinced it was right for me
3/5

Hence, I ordered the 8" and it came with a broken tip (these things happen, I didn't The return was initiated and the replacement was chosen. Replaced knife had a spine skewed left, a poor grind quality, a poorly ground tip, and some scattered chromatic abrasions along the edge, likely caused by a machine that was not set properly at the factory when sharpening. All of those are unacceptable for a tool that's marketed as professional-looking Describe your grades. This is incredibly disappointing quality control for a $150 tool, and it makes me find it hard to justify adding another Zwilling to my collection.

Boner made of solid material
5/5

My apologies, sir. I purchased this knife several months ago. The decision was not regretted. I decided to spend a little more than I wanted to but, I tell you what, it has been well worth it! Conduct research before you make any decisions. Those who say you should make your bone as stiff as possible will tell you that. I would never believe that. While that might work for trimming your brisket, it isn't going to get the job done when your hands are knuckle deep in This boner floppy is the wet noodle you've been looking for! Boner is about to go places, and some of these places are scary and dark. The moment you know you're not ready for a task, you may snap it The knife is very good.

You can find this knife for less money for the following reasons
3/5

The knife has been branded a fake/counterfeit in some reviews I read. It may not be what the knife is advertised to be but, it's not what I expected. In any case, this knife is made in Germany and appears to be of good quality. The deception was that the number of product 31021- appeared to be displayed on the knife. What I received is different from what I expected. 31021- is the item number on the knife I received I found that a Professional S "8 inch Chef's knife, Visual Imperfections is what I am looking for when I look up the item number on Zwilling's website. According to my understanding, it's an older second hand. There is a difference in the graphics on the knife received as compared to those on the Zwilling web site that have My knife arrived in good condition and it is a nice, sharp, fully functional knife. I'm sure the quality and durability will be what I expect. I will contact Zwilling to find out what they can do for me.

Chef's knife that I have owned is the best
5/5

I owned a chain of coffee shops many years ago. Even though the menu was typical coffee shop fare, I had to be prepared to step in if we lost a cook or if they got backed up in the kitchen. I developed those skills more than forty years ago, but the skills I have now are applicable today The ability to use knives in particular I still cook only for my family these days, but I used to cook for others as well. It is impossible to exaggerate how satisfying it is when you work with good software - The best cooks who worked for me always brought a good knife and an 8" pot for eggs, along with a large pot and a large saute pan. In that mundane coffee shop, the best cooks always brought their own knives, as well. Those who touch another cook's knives without their permission will pay for it with their lives. Even though the business was owned by me, I too was obliged to follow these rules. In recent weeks, I decided that a new one would be a nice replacement for my venerable, oft-crack I wanted to treat myself to the best knife I could find within reason. Once the knife was sharpened, it was still serviceable but I wanted it to be as good as possible. A Zwilling Pro 'S' is what I decided to go with. This knife is a joy to use, and it makes dinner an enjoyable experience. The fact that it is very sharp is just a small part of it It is always a good idea to have a sharp knife. Having this knife fits in your hand perfectly, in terms of its balance.

A chef's knife is normally held between the thumb and forefinger, just outside Despite the comfort of the handle nestling in the user's palm, the blade is guided precisely with the user's thumb and forefinger. As far as I know, my wife teases me about using such a large knife to slice and dice small items like garlic and When she asks me how I can slice a cherry tomato into ten pieces, I show her how to do that. The slices should be thin. I then offer her the knife and suggest that she try it as well. Aw, that makes me want to roll my eyes. I consider the price to be a bargain, even though it appears expensive for such a basic component of batterie de cuisine. The piece will definitely outlive me, and I plan to include it in my will alongside other items of value. A knife of this quality should be considered by anyone who is even remotely serious about the art of cooking. It's the best decision you could ever make.

A certain style of craftsmanship Some people may not like it
4/5

This knife is very well made and has excellent reviews The Sabatier knife I use in the kitchen has proven to be excellent for nearly everything, and I highly recommend it for those who are in the market for a chef's knife The purpose of the use is But it was stamped steel, not forged, and eventually broke between handle and blade due to metal fatigue. However, it was a pleasant experience light, deft, and easy-to-use. Despite its light weight, it had a concave blade that cut through anything easily It's slightly flexible, and it can be sharpened quickly. As a comparison, the Henkels chef knife was designed in the Germanic manner, which was larger, heavier, stiffer and harder Crafted with subtlety but without refinement It is a case-by-case basis As if hardened by cold This material is hardened such that it is rigid and brittle, and requires a high degree of flexibility. I use hardness sharpening steel to keep the edge sharp (usually sharpened every few months, but I don't know how long the edge will last). It's excellent for meat nothing gets in the There are a couple of cons to the knife the blade is somewhat concave, so things stick to it a little bit more, and it takes a little more pressure to cut veggies and the handle feels like it was made to fit a powerful chef with heavy hands. This new Henkels knife is comparable to the old French Sabatier knife that was used by surgeons. I would say that's great, but before you buy one, give it a try you may or may not be comfortable with it.
