Overview
Not a rocking-style chef's blade, this ZWILLING Pro Kudamono is a small Asian vegetable knife with a straight cutting edge and a firm tip. It is forged from high carbon stainless steel and fitted with a curved bolster.
The bolster supports a pinch grip for safer cutting and less fatigue, and the edge can be sharpened from bolster to tip. The limitation is a short blade that suits only small produce, plus an empty warranty and care section.
Who it's for
Cooks who like a pinch grip and work with small produce get a bolster built for that hold. Those who prep large vegetables or meat should reach for a bigger knife.
Pros and cons
- Curved bolster for pinch grip
- Straight edge with firm tip
- Full length sharpenable
- Made in Germany
- Short blade, small produce only
- Care steps not listed
- No warranty given
Performance notes
A straight cutting edge meets the board along its length, and the firm tip handles cleaning and peeling tasks. The bolster guides thumb and index finger onto the blade, and the whole edge up to the bolster can be used.
