Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro Knives

Sous Chef translates to “under chef” and this person is the right hand of the executive chef. While the executive creates the menu, their responsibilities tend to be more managerial, while the sous is hands-on with every position in the kitchen.  For this reason, a small multi-purpose knife “line-cook knife” is needed. It may be required for anything from fluting  mushroom, to supreming an orange or slicing a chicken cordon bleu without dislodging the breading. We recommend this as a line-cook knife as well as for home use.

A Masterclass in Control: The Zwilling Pro 6-inch Chef's Knife Discover the perfect fusion of agility and power with the Zwilling Pro 6-inch Chef's Knife. For the chef who values precision over size, this compact blade is a master of control. It excels at the detailed work where a larger knife can feel cumbersome, effortlessly gliding through shallots, herbs, and garlic, while still having the German-engineered strength to break down a chicken with confidence. The heart of the Zwilling Pro series is the innovative tapered bolster, designed to guide your hand into the professional "pinch grip" for optimal comfort and fatigue-free cutting. The blade itself, precision-forged from a single piece of Zwilling's proprietary high-carbon steel, undergoes the signature FRIODUR ice-hardening process. This results in an exceptionally sharp, durable blade that stays sharper for longer and is highly resistant to corrosion. With its classic curved belly for an effortless rocking motion, this knife feels less like a tool and more like an extension of your hand. Learn More

The Best of Both Worlds, Perfected: The Zwilling Pro 7" HE Rocking Santoku Experience the ultimate fusion of Eastern design and Western ergonomics. The Zwilling Pro Rocking Santoku is a masterfully engineered hybrid, designed for the cook who loves the broad-bladed versatility of a Japanese Santoku but craves the familiar, rhythmic motion of a German chef's knife. It embodies the "three virtues" (slicing, dicing, and mincing) of a Santoku, enhanced with a curved blade that allows for effortless rocking and chopping. This knife’s innovative design is complemented by its advanced features. The blade is distinguished by its hollow edge (HE)—a series of vertical indentations, also known as a Granton edge, that create small air pockets between the blade and the food. This dramatically reduces friction and prevents starchy vegetables like potatoes and cucumbers from sticking, allowing for swift, clean, and uninterrupted prep work. This non-stick performance is built on the core of Zwilling's technology: a single piece of SIGMAFORGE steel, ice-hardened with the FRIODUR process for a relentless edge, and anchored by the revolutionary tapered bolster for unparalleled comfort and control.

Finally, a traditional French shape knife in the Zwilling Pro line. The most comfortable grip due to a smoothly tapered, angled bolster and an ice-hardened steel blade. We highly recommend this knife and this series of Zwilling, J.A. Henckels knives. Learn More

Master Precision Prep with the Zwilling Pro 7" Granton Santoku The Zwilling Pro 7" Granton Santoku represents a deliberate departure from standard kitchen tool design. When you first grip this knife, the weight distribution immediately reveals its purpose. Unlike traditional knives with squared-off bolsters that can pinch the index finger during extended prep, the Zwilling Pro features a unique curved bolster. This design encourages a professional pinch grip, allowing your thumb and forefinger to rest naturally against the steel for surgical control over every slice. The 7-inch blade offers a flatter profile than a Western chef's knife, optimized specifically for the rhythmic vertical motion of push-cutting and dicing. During testing, the 'Kullenschliff' (Granton edge) hollows create small air pockets between the steel and your ingredients. This physical barrier prevents starchy vegetables like potatoes or dense cucumbers from suctioning to the blade, allowing them to fall away cleanly. Forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 special formula steel, the blade undergoes a cryogenic ice-hardening process to achieve a 57 Rockwell Hardness. This specific metallurgy ensures the edge remains sharp through heavy service while maintaining enough ductility to resist chipping when encountering the occasional hard squash skin or accidental board strike. The balance point sits exactly at the bolster, making the knife feel like a natural extension of the arm rather than a weighted tool. Whether you are julienning carrots or dicing onions, the tactile feedback through the POM handle is precise, communicated without vibration or hand fatigue. Learn More

The Architect of the Perfect Slice: The Zwilling Pro 9" Z15 Bread Knife Don’t just slice your bread—unveil it. For the artisan baker and the connoisseur of crust, the Zwilling Pro Z15 Bread Knife is the definitive instrument. Its mission is to preserve the integrity of your loaf, from the shatteringly crisp crust to the tender, airy crumb. This knife is the final, respectful step in the bread-making journey, ensuring the perfection you crafted is the perfection you serve. The genius is in the revolutionary Z15 serration. This is not a simple scalloped edge; it is an advanced cutting engine. The dual-patterned teeth have sharp, pointed tips that pierce the hardest crust without pressure or compression. As you slice, the long, curved portion of the serration glides through the soft interior, preventing the tearing and crumbling that plagues lesser knives. This advanced geometry is applied to a formidable 9-inch blade, forged from a single piece of Zwilling's high-carbon steel and ice-hardened with the FRIODUR process. Anchored by the ergonomic tapered bolster, this knife gives you the power and control to create flawless, uniform slices, every single time. Learn More
