Home / Products / Pro Prep Knife 5.5"

The ZWILLING Pro 5.5-inch Chef Knife is a compact, all-purpose prep knife built for precision work both in hand and on the cutting board. Chopping herbs, slicing meat, dicing vegetables — the shorter blade offers excellent control and is particularly well suited to smaller hands or tighter prep spaces. The broad curve at the front supports the Western-style rocking motion while the straight back excels at Asian-style chopping, making it one of the most versatile knife profiles in the kitchen. The ZWILLING Pro's signature curved bolster acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip with thumb and index finger on the blade for safer cutting and less fatigue. Forged from a single piece of ZWILLING's proprietary special-formula high-carbon stainless steel and FRIODUR ice-hardened, the blade is harder, sharper, and holds its edge longer. Lifetime warranty.
