Description
This 5-inch serrated utility knife is ideal for cutting through crusty bread, and thick-skinned fruit, and vegetables. The serrated edge makes cutting through soft-on-the-inside, hard-on-the-outside food effortless, including tomatoes, salami, and bread.
Expert chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of Professional S knives. Precision-forged from a single piece of stainless steel, these SIGMAFORGE® knives have a strong, yet flexible blade. Each knife is made of special formula high-carbon stainless steel that has been honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans. Combined with ZWILLING’s signature ice-hardening technique, the FRIODUR® blades stay sharper, longer. The sturdy bolster acts as a finger guard and provides optimal balance along with the traditional three-rivet handle.

Great tomato and pepper knifeThe serrated edge of this knife allows for an easy slice through a delicate tomato. As anyone with a love of tomatoes knows, the outer skin can be quite difficult to pierce with a standard straight edge knife when you aren’t sharpening your knives on a weekly basis. This knife performs perfectly on each slice week after week.
I recommend getting the Zwilling Twin Four Star II without rivets though. If I had it to all over again, I would have my entire set without rivets. The handles holdup better and are comfortable.

Chef RecommendedMy friend's husband, who is a professional chef, recommended this knife when we were out shopping together. He said I could use this knife for just about everything, and he was right. The serrated knives are great for slicing onion, tomatoes, melons, lemons and limes. Never have to worry about sharpening because of the serrations, and because of this knife I never have to worry about having to use a dull knife. Great option for someone who doesn't want to purchase a lot of different knives. This one gets the job done.

Handy knife for everyday tasksI really like this knife for those little quick tasks. It's always sharp and ready to slice tomatoes or peppers, a crusty baguette or a sandwich.
Professional S is terrific line of knives. They feature a traditional straight bolster and a slightly smaller handle. As a result they are a little lighter than the new Pro line. I have owned one of these knives for years (more than 10). It has performed year in and year out, and I cook a lot. I sharpen it maybe twice a year, hand wash it and it looks like I never use it.

Great everyday knife. Never needs sharpening because of the serrations, so a knife I can always count on. Perfect for slicing cold cuts, cheeses, fruits, veggie and sandwiches.
Made in Germany from Zwilling special formula steel, which is why this knife is so durable. Bolster offers comfort and safety, along with a full tang which gives the knife a good weight. Lots of choices in the market place, but this one was the one!

Love this knife. Definitely get my monies worth with this knife. Great for slicing tomato, onions, cheeses, cold cuts, breads and even more. Serrated knives are so easy to use, never need sharpening, so I always have a reliable tool in the kitchen, which gives me great piece of mind.
German steel really makes a huge difference in cutlery. Sturdy, feels great, dishwasher safe and last a lifetime. Truly a great investment.

Exact ReplacementI purchased this as a replacement to the serrated knife that was part of a set many years ago. My old knife was dull and as far as I know a serrated knife cannot be sharpened. I was glad to be able to find the exact match to my set. The new knife arrived and it is the same quality as the original (I weighed them both and the new one has the same heavy handle as the old.) Very satisfied.
I normally handwash my Pro S knives, but my husband placed our 5" serrated knife in the dishwasher and the handle has cracked and chipped on a normal cycle with a standard dishwasher pod with just one wash. Are these not actually dishwasher safe?
Asked by: SanaC
Thank you for reaching out—and we're sorry to hear about what happened to your knife. While ZWILLING Pro S knives are technically labeled as dishwasher safe, we always strongly recommend handwashing them to preserve the integrity of the blade and handle. The high heat, harsh detergents, and movement inside a dishwasher can cause damage like what you’ve described, especially to the handle materials over time—or even after a single wash in some cases. Handwashing with mild soap and immediately drying the knife is always the safest method to maintain its performance and appearance. If you require additional assistance with your knife or have further questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team at [hello@zwillingus.com] and any of our associates will be happy to help!

I have both S 5 and a larger 8 inch version of these serrated knives. Can I sharpen them at home, or must it be done professionally? Thank you?
Asked by: joeyn
We do not recommend sharpening (and do not professionally sharpen) serrated knives as sharpening devices can destroy the teeth on the blades that enable them to work properly.

I have this knife as part of an entire set, my wife dropped the knife on our tile kitchen floor, it broke one third from the tip. I have loved this knife set, is this common, would you replace at a discount? I have had them many years.
