Always had trouble handling a standard 8" chef's knife, so my husband suggested trying the 6" blade. The Pro 6" chef's knife fits like a glove. I now have better control when cutting and am no longer intimidated. The knife is also considerably lighter than the knives I've previously used, which is an added bonus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sharpness of this knife is as expected from Zwilling quality. This 6” chefs knife is great for those with smaller hands or for cutting smaller vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, onions, etc. I’d definitely recommend a larger knife for cutting meat or starch root vegetables.
Right Tool for the job. When you need a wider, sharper knife this will do the trick. It's a little heavy, which I prefer but you can definitely start chopping and rocking easier with this when you don't want the length. I cook primarily with vegetables so I do a lot of chopping, mincing and slicing. This is a powerful knife for those jobs. Sometimes the Chef's knife is a little too long. This fits into that need.
We ordered a 6-inch chef knife and received a 6-inch WIDE chef knife. This was the second mistake in two attempts to get the regular 6-inch chef knife. The first attempt, we got a Chinese cleaver inside a 6-inch chef knife box. Poor quality control. We’re done trying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently I bought Zwilling Pro Knives (8' chef's knife, 8' bread knife, steak knives, prep knives, etc.) for myself. I love all knives that I purchased and I am using them everyday. My mom tried those and she wanted to have a smaller version of chef knife. I had no choice but to buy this one for her.
