[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You will want to start chopping up vegetables the moment you hold this blade. It's amazingly lightweight, beautifully craft balanced, and the action is so ergonomically intuitive. This is my second Zwilling knife and I once again, incredibly excited to own it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect weight and balance. Cutting edge provides smooth and accurate cuts. Wonderful knife from the Pro S line.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first purchased this knife 15 years ago on the advice of a machinist friend and was so pleased with my experience that I decided to go with it again. It is a high quality piece that will last for years, provided it is treated properly. It’s been my main kitchen knife all this time and it will continue to be for years to come!
Henckels has always meant quality to me. This santoku is very light and sharp. The German steel and Spanish craftsmanship really teame up to make a great product. The forged design and thin blade give me great slicing and chopping results, what I use this knife for most. The classic three rivet design fits in well with all of my other knives.
This knife seemed lighter and a bit off balance compared to the exact product number for a knife in our home kitchen. Upon closer inspection, the gauge of the metal used in the knife blade is thinner than its "exact" mate in our cutlery set. The comparison was visible and difference between knives of the same product number easily detectable when looking at the blade back/spine.
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.
