Pro 8" Chef's Knife

This 8-inch chef’s knife is a reliable, all-rounder knife, perfect for almost every kitchen task. Chop herbs, dice onions, and mince garlic with this workhorse blade.

ZWILLING Pro boasts a unique curved bolster that acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the chopping motion Japanese knives were designed for. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.

Care Information
• With proper care, high-quality knives can last a lifetime. The recommended cleaning method is to wash knives by hand using lukewarm water, mild dish soap, and a non-scratch cloth or sponge. While some knives are technically dishwasher-safe under 55 °C / 131°F, it’s still not recommended due to potential damage by aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, and contact with other objects.

• For knives with wooden handles (like Japanese varieties), hand washing is mandatory. Regular treatment with linseed oil or beeswax helps prevent the wood from drying out or becoming brittle—and it also restores sheen and color. 

• Storage: Quality knives should have their own space rather than being thrown into a cluttered drawer. Ideal options include a knife block, or if space is tight, drawer organizers or protective sleeves can help too.
