Zwilling Pro 7-inch Sous Chef Knife

Sous chef translates to “under chef,” and this person is the right hand of the executive chef. While the executive creates the menu and handles much of the management, the sous is hands-on with every position in the kitchen, so a small multi-purpose line-cook knife is needed. It may be called on for anything from fluting mushrooms to supreming an orange or slicing a chicken cordon bleu without dislodging the breading.

The Zwilling Pro 7-inch Sous Chef Knife combines a prep, utility and chef’s knife in one low-profile blade, with enough distance below the handle to clear the knuckles on the board. We recommend it as a line-cook knife as well as for home use.

The low profile also makes it easy to slide the blade under a fillet or a piece of chicken to move it, and the pointed tip handles detail work that a taller chef’s knife does awkwardly.

For a taller, all-purpose blade, see the Pro 8-inch chef’s knife; for small board work, the Pro 5.25-inch prep knife.

Choosing a Zwilling Line

All three lines are forged in Germany from the same special formula steel and ice-hardened by Zwilling’s FRIODUR process.

Line	Bolster and edge	Handle	Who it suits
Zwilling Pro	Curved half bolster; sharpenable from heel to tip	Triple-riveted black polymer	Cooks who use a pinch grip and want the full edge available for cutting and sharpening
Zwilling Four Star	Pronounced bolster that guards the fingers	Molded polypropylene with no rivets or gaps	Kitchens that value a hygienic, gap-free handle and a traditional finger guard
Zwilling Spectrum	Curved bolster; 12.5-degree edge per side	Jute Micarta with a steel end cap	Cooks who want the most acute factory edge of the three lines

Keeping the Edge

German stainless at this hardness responds well to honing. A few light strokes on a honing steel before each use keep the edge aligned; sharpen on whetstones or a guided sharpener when honing no longer restores it.

Care

Zwilling rates the knife dishwasher safe but recommends hand washing; wash with warm, soapy water and dry at once.
Cut on wood or soft composite boards rather than glass, stone or ceramic.
Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in an edge guard, not loose in a drawer.
