Overview
Neither a paring knife nor a cleaver, this ZWILLING Pro chef's knife is described as the workhorse of the kitchen, with a broad forged blade and a curved bolster. The handle is polyoxymethylene.
A broad blade and balanced size make it a general-purpose tool for chopping, slicing and dicing, and the title calls it safe for the dishwasher. The limitation is the lack of a stated warranty, edge angle or hardness.
Who it's for
Cooks who do most of their prep with a single knife get a broad blade for rocking cuts and a straight back for chopping. Those who want a lightweight stamped build should look at a different style.
Pros and cons
- Curved bolster for pinch grip
- Broad blade for rocking and chopping

- Edge angle and hardness missing
- Care steps not listed
Performance notes
A broader curve at the front aids rocking cuts, while the straight back suits chopping. The edge can be used and sharpened along its whole length, and the bolster steers the pinch grip.
