The Zwilling 5.5 inch Prep knife looks just like a mini chef's knife! I use this for the same things I normally use the larger chef's knife for, but when only needing a smaller amount of ingredients. Decided on a stamped knife, because it's lighter than a forged blade, which makes it really easy to pull out and use. Still made with Zwilling special formula steel, and has a full tang for durability. This knife is made to last a lifetime and Zwilling guarantees it.
The knife is beautiful but the packaging is all banged up. I wouldn't mind if it was for me but it's a gift, and it just looks a little janky is all. I believe the box it shipped in was undamaged so it looks like it was sent that way.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very versatile and useful for wide variety of tasks. I use it for cutting fruits and vegetables and small cuts.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blade size is perfect for all my small prep needs. I like the offset handle that is good to work with in hand for peeling or directly on the cutting board. The construction and steel produce a very sharp blade that is easy to maintain. The three rivet handle is comfortable to use in all situations.
