Chop Away!
on April 3, 2020
Posted by: bourbonbb
Frequency of use:Daily
This Santoku with its curved bolster feels perfect in my hand. I didn't realize I was holding the knife incorrectly (I held it like a hammer...wrong) until I grabbed this with a pinch grip on that curved bolster. Because it's forged, it is a heavier knife, which I prefer. I feel like the knife does the work for me. The blade is incredibly razor sharp, even sharper than my chef knife. This is my go-to knife for chopping veggies. It makes cutting an onion super easy and no tears. I think it's because I'm cutting cleanly not tearing it.
If you just want one knife in your kitchen, this would be a great one to have.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This knife rocks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well, maybe not in the true sense of the word (although there is a rocking santoku knife in the Pro line and I have that one too) but this has become my go to knife instead of the chef's knife. I find the Japanese style of chopping to be easier and more efficient and when it comes to plain cutting it performs as well as a chef's knife. We previously had two santoku knives but I was under the impression that you coud not sharpen them. It was onu during my research for buying knew knives that I learned the real concept behind the santoku knife and that the could in fact be sharpened. Let me tell you, a sharp santoku knife cannot be beat.

Should not be in the Pro Line series
on November 28, 2025
Posted by: Benny13
I am a very experienced cook that owns many quality knives and has used many more, I love the pro bread and chefs knife. This knife is 100% a disappoint. To start with it is not a true Santoku shape. Instead of a solid confidence building blade. The blade sounds like a piece of tin. The blade was dull after just a few uses and difficult to sharpen. Weight distribution is overrated (IMO) as with a pinch grip you can usually adjust to get comfortable. Not in this case, the handle is extremely heavy as compared to the lightweight blade. It looks great in pictures but as soon as you pick it up. It feels as if it constructed with low quality materials. Sorry Zwilling, this is not nearly good enough for the Pro Series.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My Go-To

I bought this knife to accompany the 7 piece block set I got to replace my old international set. This is my go-to knife, and the 7 piece didn't have a santoku, so I had to buy it separately. It's a workhorse. If you're on a budget and can only afford to get one quality knife, I'd strongly recommend this one, as it can handle anything you throw at it.

I bought this knife as a gift for my son. When I asked him how many stars to give he said "5 stars, the knife is glorious".

I'm cheating on my chef knife
on March 25, 2020
Posted by: bulldog mom
Frequency of use:Daily
I typically always use a chef knife but one day pulled this one out of the block and have been using it ever since. It slices so sharply. The shape of the blade is consistent with my chopping motion and the curved bolster is so comfortable.
