ZWILLINGProfessional S 7-Piece Razor-Sharp German Block Knife Set, Made in Company-Owned German Factory with Special Formula Steel perfected for almost 300 Years, Dishwasher Safe

Well balanced, sharp and a pleasure to use.

Beautiful and well constructed knife. Great for trimming meat to smoke.

I will start to say, I generally love ZWILLING knives, at least the higher quality lines that they have. I have a ZWILLING Damascus set that are my favorite go-to knives, but the set did not include a boning knife. If you do a lot of cooking, like I do, then a good boning knife is essential to your arsenal. Unfortunately, I could not find a matching Damascus boning knife, but after reading the reviews and being familiar with the brand, I figured this would make a nice addition to my go-to knife set and the handle was similar to the others. I was not wrong! It is an excellent knife and gives you plenty of maneuverability when cutting around the rib cage of a chicken and etcetera. I would highly recommend this knife or any in the Professional S series (I have a few). Now, if I could only find a highly flexible filet knife in Damascus, I would be all set (pun intended, sorry)!

I purchased this knife for the more difficult knife work around bones and so far it has worked quite well. Very sharp and maneuverable. This is the Pro series knife, made in Germany - I will not buy any of their knives manufactured in other countries.

I do a lot of butchery, from venison, to breaking down chickens, ducks, turkey, and trimming pork. A good knife is a must. A GREAT knife is a joy. This knife was the America's Test Kitchen pick and after using it for a while, now, I can say that they nailed it. This is a great boning knife. Can you get by with a lesser knife? Of course. But if you want to really enjoy butchery, this is your knife. BTW, this replaces a still serviceable Zwilling Henckels boning knife I got in 1985. These blades are razor sharp, and hold an edge nicely. Get it on the steel regularly and you won't have to sharpen much or very often.

About six months ago I purchased a KYOKU Daimyo Series - 7" Boning Knife, and while it is a VERY GOOD knife, the blade is stiff enough that I cannot use it for its intended purpose (boning). It will trim just fine, and it silces tomatoes and fruit with precision, and it stays sharp for weeks at a time with lots of use. So I went back to purchase the Henckels flexible boning knife which a friend has and I liked but judged it to be too expensive initially. Now that I have it, the difference between the two blades is significant - it is shorter (5.5" blade) with a handle that is not downsized at all. And with enough weight behind the tang that you don't feel like you are always lifting the tip. It fits my hand and handles very well. I noted in the reviews that others had complained about the low quality of the initial (as delivered) edge, and I too found it to be quite ugly. I have included an image with some magnification showing that it has simply been factory ground and never honed before shipping. The result is a rough but quite sharp edge, one that can be fixed in a few seconds with a proper hone. My sense is that it is just an effort to cut costs rather than a manufacturing flaw.

Bought for husband, he loves the knife. It is sharp

I cut up a whole chicken now once a month. I freeze the breasts, and make stock for soup with the dark meat and carcass. Occasionally I cut off the dark meat and air fry. The shape of the handle means even with slippery raw chicken, I don't lose control. Cutting is laser focused and gives confidence. Depending on how much chicken you intend to buy, this investment could be paid off really quickly. Very sturdy and well made. A pleasure to hold and use. I highly recommend.

Caro pero corte perfecto

È Zwilling professional. Non c'è bisogno di dire altro...

Good product

A friend of mine keeps getting us rabbits and pigeons and I found my kitchen knives too clumsy. This one does the job brilliantly. Chose Henckels because we bought a bread knife from the same range twenty years ago and it still looks new although it's used every single day. It's a bit of an investment, but well worth it.

Alles ok. Gut verarbeitet, liegt gut in der Hand, sieht auch gut aus, schneidet sauber. So wie man es erwartet. Langzeiterfahrungen sind ja noch nicht.
