Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro 6-Inch Chef Knife

This is a great knife! It's the perfect size with an exaggerated belly for easy rocking. Versatile and well made, the ultimate workhorse of the kitchen

Recently added this to my Pro Block and love the size and new design to this knife. I continue to add Pro knives to my Block and Magnetic Bar.

This 6" chef has a wider belly than most. It's great to use for herbs and smaller veggies then the wider blade allows for scooping off the cutting board. The Pro knives are made to last a life time, feel great in the hand and the curved bolster makes using a correct pinch grip effortless.

This Professional 6" chef knife is great for my hand, just the right size. This chef knife size will cut large food despite it is slightly small, with control for a grip that is ergonomic. Comfortable, balanced size will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks. This knife will cut large chunk of meat, vegetables, and even delicate big piece of fruits like Cantaloupe or watermelon. It's the most easiest to sharpen for it's half bolster, nothing gets in the way no matter what you sharpened it either stone or machine.

I grab this knife when I am chopping smaller, heavier fruits and vegetables. The blade has good width yet is easy to maneuver . My daughter likes this size, It fits well in a smaller hand. The innovation is with the bolster. The curves half bolster with the rise is comfortable to hold. I like that I can use and sharpen the entire length of this blade. Love this line!!

The wider the knife the more stability you have - especially when cutting thorough bigger, sturdier foods like butternut and spaghetti squash, and larger cuts of meats like chuck. This knife is solid. Forged from the one the best cutlery steels available. The quality of the steel is important because the better the steel, the longer a knife will hold an edge and how easy it will be to sharpen. These knives will stand up to a lifetime of use.

The ergonomic handle and curved bolster of this 6" Pro chef's knife will make you feel like a professional chef every time you use it.

Feels wonderful in my hand! Good for when I do not need the larger chef's knive.

I wanted a "wide" chef's blade just like what I'd seen on TV cooking shows, and though some confusion between Pro descriptions, I ordered this supposed "wide" blade from a major cooking supply retailer. It is indeed, wider at the bolster with a pronounced curve at cutting edge to its point, than my other 6" chef's knife. The new knife is incredibly sharp, is a heavy, but balanced weight in hand. The wider 6" length is an all-around useful knife to last a lifetime. I'm very pleased with my new knife.

I have owned this knife for over six months now. I saw the one star review, but saw no explanation as to why, so I figured I would give some information to help those curious buyers out there. To give you some back ground: I've been cooking on a professional level for nearly 8 years. I own 4 extremely high quality Shun knives and several other lesser quality knives. I believe, based on price, that people will assume this Zwilling is a high end knife. This knife is actually more of a mid level knife when it comes to professional level knife sets. Out of the package, this knife was very sharp. Very finely crafted and weighted. It has yet to stain, but we have taken care of it. We don't put it away wet (rookie mistake) we never put it in the dishwasher, and we sharpen and hone the blade once or a month or so. It doesn't really need the sharpening that frequently, but we do it to keep in practice. Honing your knives is important. We cook at least one meal a day, and on weekends we're cooking at least 3 times a day. We use this knife for all of our general cooking. Chopping veggies, slicing fat off of jerky meat, etc. It's fantastic as a general chef's knife. It hasn't let us (my wife and I) down. When we're cooking together, usually she mans the Zwilling and I use my Shuns. However, if either of us are cooking alone, we tend to go to the Zwilling. If you want an excellent mid level chefs knife, this is for you. It is a good knife. It will last the average consumer a long time.
