8-inch German Chef's Knife by ZWILLING Professional S, Made 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 offers the perfect balance but also serves as a protective finger guard. Fashioned from a single piece of solid steel through precision forging, the knives with three rivet handles provide 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 designed for effortless chopping. The 8-inch blade is ideal 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, setting it apart from Henckels's other premium collections like TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are weightier, and the knives are less front-heavy compared to other lines. The steel used in the Pro S series matches that of the Five and Four Star lines.

In the Pro S line, advanced welding techniques combine three types of steel in knives of this size and larger, creating the appearance of a single piece. This results in distinct characteristics for each part of the knife: a durable 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 optimal care.
