ZWILLING Professional S 8-inch German Chef's Knife with Special Formula Steel, Dishwasher Safe

Crafted by highly skilled artisans, these knives boast a laser-controlled edge that is exceptionally sharp. The robust bolster not only ensures the perfect balance but also acts as a protective finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, the knives with three rivet handles offer optimal balance and secure handling. Renowned chefs worldwide place their trust in the tradition and quality of these remarkable knives.

The classic French chef's knife features a wide blade and a curved cutting edge, ideal for effortless chopping. The 8-inch blade is suitable for most cooks, while those with smaller hands may prefer a 6-inch knife, and those with larger hands might opt for a 10-inch one. The Pro S line stands out with its classic three-rivet handles, distinguishing it from Henckels's other quality collections like TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are more substantial, and the knives are less weight-forward compared to other lines. The steel used in the Pro S series is the same as that in the Five and Four Star lines.

The knives in the Pro S line undergo high-tech welding, combining three steel types into what appears to be a single piece. This process results in distinct characteristics for each part of the knife: a hard edge, a robust and stain-resistant bolster, and a tang that is resistant to stains and corrosion. While traditionalists advocate for single-piece forging for strength, Henckels argues that the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel itself. Although the chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended for longevity.

From the Manufacturer: The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (Pro S) knife series is a testament to reliable quality and classic three-rivet design, cherished by professional chefs and home cooks alike.
