ZWILLING Pro Slim 7-inch Chef's Knife

Love this knife! Works great and is super sharp! It sharpens up great when needed and looks great!

She really enjoys cooking but never really enjoyed the prep part of it. She had a junk, 8in chef knife that just felt clunky and unbalanced. As a huge cutlery nerd myself, I've come to really enjoy the prep part and I figured I could do the same for her. This knife was perfect. Small enough that she feels more nimble with it. The blade is excellent. Sharp and durable so I don't have to sharpen it as often. And the geometry gives her the confidence using it that she didn't feel with the last knife. It has excellent balance and no heel so I can sharpen it with a single whetstone without needing to grind away any metal!

High quality, comfortable size. I like it. In use every day

This is my go-to knife. It's the perfect size and weight, and the thinness makes easy fine cuts. I don't treat it rough so I don't know about durability for cooks who are tough on their knives. I also don't abuse it by using it on cans or bags or opening other stuff. It's a precision instrument, not an axe, and it makes me smile.

Excellent knife, light, sharp, holds an edge, but if you don't keep it dry it will rust. Stainless, not stain free.

Excellent knife! Best knife I have ever owned. Sharp and well balanced.

Replacing this with a KitchenAid 6" that I sharpened regularly. Wanted something a little bit bigger but still easy to handle and this is it. I use this almost everyday. I only use my other knives rarely for heavy duty or longer cuts like cutting watermelon or slicing big cuts of meat. It is very sharp and makes it easy to start a cut without slipping like tomatoes and onions. I also notice the effort to cut through anything is much less. I use a pinch grib and since using this knives my fingers do not get sore after a lot of cutting.

The best and sharpest knife I ever owned or sharped. A joy to hold and work with. Careful handling is a must.
