[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome sharp and clean. Use it daily and keeps sharp. Don’t hesitate to buy and cool handles that feel good if you do lots of cutting.
There is nothing bad to say about this knife I have used it from a friend and I am purchasing one as we speak, the weight the balance the craftsmanship the care of quality all these things are fantastic it’s nice to see a company that truly cares about their cutlery I’m sold, this will not be the only knife I use I have many knives in my collection that I prize,and all of them are (ZWILLING) They are superb cutlery, John.
This knife has a very interesting profile. The blade starts out with a typical straight blade, which curves slightly in the front. This is a huge benefit because it allows you the ability to use a rocking motion when cutting as well as a traditional Japanese chopping motion. I use this knife instead of a traditional Chef's knife because it is lighter, sharper and more versatile. The hollow edges prevent food from sticking which makes prep work much quicker. I can't say enough about this knife. I like it so much that I've decided to purchase the smaller version of it for my daughter.
Pro knives are made from German Special Formula Steel and forged from one piece of steel so durable for a lifetime. The bolster is curved and perfect to hold with pinch grip. The curve of the blade allows for rocking cuts making your prep work more efficient. This knife might just become your "go to" knife for all your prep work.
Ive been a fan of the Pro line for the past few years but am always looking for new styles of blades. This one is absolutly amazing. First of all it has , all the quality of the other Pro knives: forged German steel, made in Germany, curved bolster. What makes this knife unique is the blend of the classic Chefs knife and the Santoku (aka Japanese Chefs knife). The curved shape is great for slicing but the rocking motion is amazing. Mincing garlic and making chopped salads seem to make them selves.
This Zwilling Pro 7" Rocking santoku knife is a cross between the best of a chef's and a santoku knife in that the angle is pulled in between the two blades at around 24 degrees to allow you to rock the Santoku knife. This knife is of 3 virtues: it can slice, dice and mince. It has the perfect curved wedge blade geometry on the bolster to prompt you to pinch grip and hold the knife properly. I use this knife almost everyday when I'm in the kitchen and find it to be so comfortable, sharp and easy to use.
The knife is very heavy for a Santoku knife, the handle is larger and heavier than it should be. I gave the knife two star because the extra weight made it hard to use for what it is intended to,(Kitchen knife)
