The Pro Slim 7-inch chef’s knife is a reliable, all-around knife, perfect for all kitchen tasks. Chop herbs, dice onions, and mince garlic with confidence and ease.
Pro Slim knives feature a medium-sized handle, a blade profile that is 9% smaller, and a weight that is 24% lighter than our original Pro knives. They are perfect for smaller hands. And the lighter weight provides increased nimbleness, ergonomics, and comfort.
ZWILLING Pro boasts a unique curved bolster that acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the chopping motion Japanese knives were designed for. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.
- Curved bolster acts as an extension of the hand, encouraging cutting with improved precision, safety, and comfort
- SIGMAFORGE knife is forged from a single piece of special formula high-carbon stainless steel
- Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade starts sharper, stays sharper longer
- Precision-honed blade and laser-controlled edge ensures ideal cutting angle for sharpness and durability
- Full tang and handle are triple riveted for superb stability and comfort

Slices like a champ
My first use with this chef's knife left me extremely satisfied with my purchase. The first thing I cut through was just an orange but from the first few millimeters of the skin I was really impressed. Then I cut through a few other meats that I have in the kitchen, and I was also very impressed with that. The blade feels sturdy and rigid and The cutting Edge unlike anything else in the kitchen right now. I honestly can't wait until the next time I get to cut something, because this knife is so much fun to use. It was recommended to me by a chef friend of mine, and I know that his recommendation for a product means a lot in this field.

Now I know what a real knife is supposed to be
All my life I had been using cheap knives from Oxo and online brands. I sharpened them at home, so they were usually ok.
Then, on a whim, I bought this.
When it arrived, i just couldn’t believe. I knew this knife was gonna be “better” but i just had no idea what the difference was going to be like. This thing cuts through everything like butter. Tomatoes? No problem. Bread? You bet. Raw potato? A-ok. Raw beef? Easy as pie.
This is the “slim” version, but as a 6 foot 2 guy i don’t find this small or flimsy at all. It’s heavier than all the cheap knives, while not being too heavy for either my wife or I to use.
I am addicted. I threw out all my cheap knives and will slowly replace them with this. Zwilling has one a customer for life.

Phenomenal Knife!!
This knife is absolutely beautiful! The curvature of the blade is perfect for moving through veggies, fruits and herbs easily and quickly, while also having the integrity to take on big pieces of protein. The weight distribution provides a comfortable grip if you have big or small hands - I’m 5’2, husband is 6’5 and we both love this knife. If you’re looking to add a workhorse, go-to knife to your collection, this is it!!

My new favorite chef's knife
I wanted a "wide" chef's blade just like what I'd seen on TV cooking shows, and though some confusion between Pro descriptions, I ordered this supposed "wide" blade from a major cooking supply retailer. It is indeed, wider at the bolster with a pronounced curve at cutting edge to its point, than my other 6" chef's knife. The new knife is incredibly sharp, is a heavy, but balanced weight in hand. The wider 6" length is an all-around useful knife to last a lifetime. I'm very pleased with my new knife.

I have owned this knife for over six months now. I saw the one star review, but saw no explanation as to why, so I figured I would give some information to help those curious buyers out there.
To give you some back ground: I've been cooking on a professional level for nearly 8 years. I own 4 extremely high quality Shun knives and several other lesser quality knives. I believe, based on price, that people will assume this Zwilling is a high end knife. This knife is actually more of a mid level knife when it comes to professional level knife sets.
Out of the package, this knife was very sharp. Very finely crafted and weighted. It has yet to stain, but we have taken care of it. We don't put it away wet (rookie mistake) we never put it in the dishwasher, and we sharpen and hone the blade once or a month or so. It doesn't really need the sharpening that frequently, but we do it to keep in practice. Honing your knives is important.
We cook at least one meal a day, and on weekends we're cooking at least 3 times a day. We use this knife for all of our general cooking. Chopping veggies, slicing fat off of jerky meat, etc. It's fantastic as a general chef's knife. It hasn't let us (my wife and I) down. When we're cooking together, usually she mans the Zwilling and I use my Shuns. However, if either of us are cooking alone, we tend to go to the Zwilling.
If you want an excellent mid level chefs knife, this is for you. It is a good knife. It will last the average consumer a long time.

Great comfortable knife for hours of use
I own two of these knives now. One for me at work and one for my wife who cooks the most important meals at home. The half bolster design is ergonomic and very comfortable. This is my go to knife for chopping loads of herbs and dicing onions since the blade is so thin and durable. It's a hybrid of German-Italian engineering with slight Asian design in blade geometry. It's very lightweight and fast in its work!

Size and feel is perfect for a smaller hand.
As a small woman, I have never found using my large 8 inch Four Star chef knife to be comfortable. The size, weight, and handle profile as well as material was just not comfortable. I have other Pro and Four Star knives. I found myself using my 5.5 inch Pro utility knife rather than my chef knife, which is what made me decide to purchase this new chef's knife. I enjoy the feel of the handle profile and the material of the Pro much more that the Four Stars. Also by going down 1 inch from an 8 inch to a 7 inch knife, the knife is a little smaller and lighter making it perfect for a smaller female hand. I am delighted that I decided to purchase this smaller Pro chef knife. I love everything about it and it is now my new favorite knife.

10 inches of sharp love
I use a 10 inch chef knife for pastry making. It use this knife to cut layers of cake, rounds of cinnamon rolls. The sharpness and easy with which it glides through sticky dough makes it easy to see why I can rely on it to breakdown a whole New York strip.
The quality of this knife is terrific. It is part of the Pro line, one of Zwilling's best. The steel will hold up for a lifetime and the knife requires little maintenance, just regular honing (see the 2-stage sharpeners if you are timid about honing) and maybe sharpen it once a year (if it gets used daily). It has an angled bolster, a new design features that matches the grip of professional chef's. It keeps the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control.

How much does IT weight
Thank you for your question! The ZWILLING Pro 8-inch Chef’s Knife weighs approximately 0.55 lbs, as noted in the Specifications tab on the product page. This weight offers an ideal balance between control and efficiency, light enough for precise chopping, slicing, and dicing, yet substantial enough to let the blade’s weight assist when working through denser ingredients. Combined with its curved bolster and ergonomic handle, many cooks find the knife comfortable to use for extended periods without fatigue. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team at hello@zwillingus.com.
