Our take on the Zwilling Pro 38401-203

The Zwilling Pro 7-inch chef's knife is a German-made, forged knife with a 57 HRC stainless-carbon steel blade and a black plastic handle. Its standout trait is the curved bolster that runs into the blade, letting you choke up for a pinch grip and protecting your fingers. The 7-inch length sits between a small santoku and a full 8-inch chef's knife, so it suits cooks with smaller hands or tight kitchens. Against the cheaper Zwilling Gourmet line it is heavier and harder steel; against Japanese knives it is softer and tougher but less thin behind the edge.

  • WeightMixedSome like the heft for control; others find it tiring for long prep sessions.

Questions and answers

Is the 7-inch size big enough for most tasks?
Yes for onions, herbs, chicken and most vegetables. It is short for large squash, cabbage or big roasts, where an 8-inch or longer blade works better.
How does it compare with the Zwilling Gourmet line?
The Pro is forged with a full tang and the curved bolster, while Gourmet is stamped and lighter. Pro steel is harder and holds an edge longer; Gourmet is easier to sharpen and lighter in hand.
Does it need special care?
Hand wash and dry it rather than leaving it in a dishwasher, and hone it regularly. The steel resists stains but is not fully stainless in the dishwasher sense.
Is it suitable for someone with small hands?
Yes. The 7-inch blade and slim handle suit smaller hands better than an 8-inch chef's knife, and the pinch grip is comfortable.
What is in the box?
One 7-inch chef's knife. No sheath, honing steel or block is included.
Where is the Zwilling Pro 38401-203 cheapest?
