Favorite Top Knife
Love the size, shape, feel and weight of this very versatile knife! It is my favorite, go to knife and stays super sharp. I do sharpen regularly. I owned for over 20 yrs and the handle came apart and Zwilling sent a brand new replacement Pro S!! They are serious about their lifetime warranty and customer service!! Would buy again! I have a whole collection of Zwilling knives and love them all but this one rules!

Ace Chopping Knife
I never enjoyed the task of chopping an onion. Too many tears and it usually turned into a messy pile of unven shapes and sizes. With a little guidance from utube and this incredibly sharp santoku, I've mastered the task. The razor sharp edge slices through an onion or any vegetable with the greatest of ease. The "dimples" help keep food from sticking to the blade.
This is a slightly heavy knife, which I love, because the knife does the work for you. Great balance and the handle fits securely in my hand, no slipping.

Very Sharp at First
I like that the 180mm/7" Santoku Hollow Edge knife (Professional "S") was amazingly sharp right out of the box, and when slicing through tomatoes was almost as if the tomatoes melted away from the sharp blades. I am frustrated by how quickly the knife stopped being able to slice through tomatoes easily, requiring extra finger force or extra hand force to push or pull through. It appears I just purchased the knife in recent months and already must search for a place that does knife sharpening. I don't know if this knife can be sharpened at home to return it quickly to its prior sharpness.

The great Pro. S Santoku!
This 5" Santoku is a perfect length, neither too small or too large for my hand, I still have perfect control of the knife. Comfortable and balanced size, will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks.
It's one of the easiest to sharpen, it has a unique blade shape and ergonomic bolster. Whether chopping, slicing, or dicing, the broad blade are comfortable in my hand.

Nice Size
This is a 7 inch length which is a very comfortable size for chopping. The Professional S has all the qualities you look for nwhen purchasing a premium knife...made with specially formulated German steel which is corrosion resistant it goes through Zwillings Sigmaforge and Friodur ice hardening processes. These processes ensure your blade is flexible, chip and crack resistant and stays sharper longer. The hollow pockets along the edge help food from sticking to the blade as you slice.

The perfect knife
We eat a LOT of salads and vegetables and this is the perfect knife. We've had it for a couple of years... and it light and balanced. A must for every kitchen.
Last Christmas we gifted this knife to our adult kids for their kitchens and now am now ordering one for my sister. Glad to see it is still available.

Excellent all purpose knife
7-inch santokus are workhorses. I use it almost exclusively. Great for chopping vegetables and meats. And this line, the 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 looks almost new.

What kind of knife sharpener do you recommend for this knife?
Hello, are you saying this is the only one you recommend? ZWILLING J.A. Henckels TWIN 1731 9" Sharpening Steel
Date published: 2018-06-26
"We sharpen most of our knives to 15 degrees, but our santoku knives are sharpened to 10 degrees. I have a TWINSHARP Duo Stainless Steel Handheld Knife Sharpener. Can I sharpen my Santoku on this along with my other knives?
No, the sharpening mechanisms in our Zwilling/Twin sharpeners are not angled appropriately to sharpen Santoku and other Japanese-style knives. Those knives are best sharpened with stones or steels.

What is the difference between the Pro 7" Santoku and the Pro "S" 7" Santoku? Thank you.
The Professional "S" line has a full bolster between the blade and the handle, and a thicker handle than does the Pro line, which features half-bolsters between the blade and the handle. Both lines have forged blades, made using the same high-quality German steel.

Can this knife be sharpened on my Chef'sChoice model 130 sharpener as an american 20 degree blade?
We sharpen most of our knives to 15 degrees, but our santoku knives are sharpened to 10 degrees. We recommend maintaining those angles when sharpening.
