7" of a zwilling blade is more than enough to plea
I absolutely love this piece. Working in restaurant service going through standard issue "rent-a-knives" has been such a drag I decided I needed to improve. This is the blade I went with after hours of research and ot has yet to disappoint. It is very hilt-heavy, which I personally prefer because it gives a good sense of weight in regards to its shorter length. The lad loves to cut veggies, I can absolutely attest to that. And thats right out of the box too, before a proper honing. Absplutely recommend this one 10/10

Excellent knife
The 7” Zwilling Chef’s knife is an excellent knife. I purchased it to replace my 10 year old 10” Shun chef knife and I am so glad I did. I am getting used to the smaller blade, and it is so sharp and accurate. The handle is comfortable in my large hands and makes an easy chore of preparing dinner. Highly recommend.

My go to Chef's Knife
I love the size of the Zwilling Pro 7" chef's knife. The 6" is too small for me sometimes, and the 8" too large so this is the perfect go between. It has a curved wedge blade geometry on the bolster that prompts you to pinch grip and hold the knife properly. I love that is has an exposed full tang and a traditional 3 riveted handle. The curved bolster allows you to use the full length of the blade, sharpen it easier and clean it easier. I highly recommend this knife to be your work horse of the kitchen!

Love this 10" Pro chef's knife. Nice and long, covers plenty of surface area, allowing for dicing and slicing larger amounts of foods at one time. Made with German high carbon steel, which means it will last a lifetime, and will remain sharper longer.
The curved bolster offers comfort, and allows one to sharpen the entire length of the blade without interference. The rounded blade falls right into place when using a rocking cutting motion and has decreased the mount of time I need to prep food items.
The steel is further fortified with the Friodur hardening process, which allows for even distribution of the carbons resulting in a blade that is free from weak spots, and is built to last. I am very pleased with this knife and know I will be using it for many years to come.

So sharp and nicely balanced!
Excellent price for such a well balanced, quality knife forged from a single piece of steel. It's more back heavy than other knives but that's so it is better for chopping and Eastern style knife skills as opposed to just Western style. This is my go to knife for any cooking occasion!

The epitome of a good chef knife
I love this knife. It is the epitome of the Zwilling brand. I love how the weight of the knife is perfectly balanced, and that the bolster has the perfect placement for the pinch grip hold. I love how this chef knife has an unique blade shape in that it’s curved more than traditional German knives and that way I can rock, slice and chop with this knife super easily. It feels solid and with the ice hardening and forging aspects of this knife, it’s going to last for a long time. A great knife to invest in

Very good knife for the money @ $59.99 sale.
Well made. No mismatches on the handle. Like the wider belly. Little handle heavy because of full tang and big bolster. The extra heft will help getting through tougher cuts, but might be a little too heavy for some folks. Edges between the bolster and heel are a little sharp and may bother you if you like to pinch grip, could have been rounded over or ground better during finishing (only thing keeping it from getting 5 stars). Full bolster would be better to solve that. All in all, a very good knife.

Exquisite
For a reasonable price, you get: German precision manufacturing, good warranty, and serious comfort. The handle fits perfectly in the hand, the knife is well balanced, and the deep belly and curve makes chopping easy. Might complete the whole Zwilling set!

Amazing knife - Quality + Price !! Thank you !
Love this product - fits perfect in my hands (a little longer and narrower and just as good in my partners hands shorter and wider. So far cuts just as great on the 1000th time as the first. Great size, rocking motion is perfect. Love this product !

Excellent!!
I was a little hesitant to get the 7” since I’m used to an 8” but the Cyber Monday price was too good to pass up. I’m glad I did because the 1” difference is barely noticeable. What is noticeable is the quality difference between the pro series and the cheaper models!! The knife arrived sharp, has good weight and the handle is legit compared to cheaper knives and is comfortable in the hand. All this give you confidence while cutting and chopping and we all know that confidence is key when cooking.

The best knife!!
I bought the Zwilling Pro 7” knife and was very excited to use it. It did not disappoint and in fact exceeded my expectations! The knife is so sharp, it weighs just right, not heavy but have enough weight to make you aware that you are holding a knife. It is very very sharp and I used it today to prepare dinner and I sliced and chopped meat, vegetables (both hard and soft ones) and I was done so fast because the knife did the work for me. This is the best knife and it could not get any better.

Fantastic knife, one for ever
Great build, akin to German Made expectations. Very broad knife to cut/chop through vegetables in a straight line and that too effortlessly. I requested it as a gift from my wife as I have other knives from the same brand and enjoy cutting and chopping with them. The knife is well balanced with a comfortable grip. Also it is Machine washable such that I occasionally give it a thorough wash, though I tend to hand wash regularly.
The knife feels super well built and seems would last a lifetime.

ZWILLING Pro 7-inch Chef's Knife
I told myself that as of this Christmas I would get myself something that I truly need and want and I did! The ZWILLING Pro 7-inch Chef's Knife is the very simple answer to solve some of the finer cooking-prep issues that have been a problem with my other knives (they're too large, unwieldly, clutzy, imprecise, too weighty, unbalanced, etc.) we all have experienced these issues. Problem solved! For my tasks, the 7-inch Pro Chef's Knife does it all! Thank you Zwilling! Mille Grazie/Danke Schoen!

Great all around chef knife.
After using a Henckels 8" Chef Knife I bought over 20 years ago in Germany, it's finally time for a new one. After using this knife for a month I have no doubt I will get 20 years out of it. This knife holds a great edge and is very sharp. The curved bolster makes its it much more ergonomic than a standard chef knife when your choke up on the handle for fine cutting. Note that this bolster will make it stick out slightly out of a standard knife block unless the slot is angled but I don't mind.

Great Knife for Home Use.
This knive is very sharp out of the package. Great feel to it though it is a little on the heavier side. The balance is a little off on the handle side. Comparing to most knives the home chef would use this blows them away.

Well-balanced knife that's excellent for meal prep, which is what we use it for 95% of the time. I would recommend this knife to anyone who eats...meaning everyone. Zwilling's life-time warranty is exceptional too.

Fantastic Knife
The knife is has a good weight, excellent balance, and cuts everything like butter. Overall would recommend it. It also makes a cool shing sound when it is removed from a knife block, which is always a plus.

Perfect when 6-inches isn't enough
This is an non-traditional length, but extremely useful nonetheless. Ideal if you are accustomed to shorter knives, 6" chef, 6" slicing or 5" prep, but find it tough to cut larger things - like melons, carrots lengthwise, large onions and tomatoes, and larger pieces of meat.
I use this knife at a cousin's house. It is a size she likes and I am always pleasantly surprised and how agile it is. Because it is one the Pro line knives, I can always count on the blade being in good shape.

So far, so good
First time using it. Very sharp. Going to take a bit to get used to the larger size compared to my 6” Chef’s Pro S. Although the length doesn’t seem much larger, it is definitely bigger in my small hand. I look forward to many years with it. One thing to note, I’ve read that this model might be a Seconds model which is why it was on sale. No mention of it. The blade seems fine but the handle definitely has some imperfections. Nothing to return it for, especially at the price I paid.

Can't get better than this knife. Slightly scared to use it. The long tip feels intrusive. But effective in prep. Solid weight. Feels like a professional chef.

Go-to knife!
I have owned this knife for four years now it is my absolute go-to favorite knife for most kitchen tasks. I really love the overall shape and weight, and it just feels right when using. The blade slices effortlessly, and has been easy to keep sharp with a simple sharpener. This knife, along with the smaller santoku model and a long bread knife has replaced every knife in my kitchen. When family comes over to help out cooking, they always comment on how much they love the knife.

Can I use my Spyderco Sharpmaker to sharpen my 7 inch Pro? It has a 30 degree over all setting which would give me 15 degrees on each side.
We do not recommend using sharpeners made by any other company. We cannot guarantee the results.

What is the POM handle for the Zwilling 7" chef's knife made of? And what is the handle made of for the Henckel's 6" chef's knife, is it wood like my old original Henckels?
The handles in our Zwilling Pro knives are made of ABS, a durable thermoplastic.

Yes. All of our knives carry a lifetime limited warranty against manufacturing/material defects. (https://www.zwillingonline.com/warranty.html)

What's the last 3-digit of the model number stands for? I noticed the description says the model number as 38401-203, but the photo of the knife shows 38401-200.
The model numbers don't stand for anything in particular. They are used internally for tracking inventory. The 38401-203 and 38401-200 are numbers for the same item that we have used at different times.
Date published: 2023-09-14
How wide is the blade, is this so called extra wide? What is the difference between 38405-163 and 160? I'd like to by 6" extra wide.
I had also been looking for the "extra wide." I ordered and what I was sent was the 6" Pro. The numbers on the box sticker is 38405 and states Wide in small letters. I think the "extra wide" comes only in the 8" Chef's model which is .40" wider at its widest according to given dimensions. The wide blades have a pronounced curve towards the end of the blades. It is definitely wider than my other 6" chefs. I'm fairly happy with my new "wide".
