The Zwilling Pro 7 inch chefs knife is designed to give you superb cutting control thanks to the innovative wedge shape of its very sharp blade. Plus, the bolster, or base of the knife that separates your hand from the blade, is angled, making it even easier to slice, dice and mince. Pro knives are designed by Henckels in conjunction with architect, Matteo Thun. Every Henckels Pro knife comes with a lifetime guarantee and is made in Germany.
