ZWILLING Pro Holm Oak 8" Chef's Knife

This is a truly fantastic knife. It has a great feel with the angled bolster that is perfect for the "pinch" grip. I also love the weight and balance. I bought it for my heavy duty cutting tasks like meats and tougher large vegetables but I find myself having a hard time not using it for everything. It's not only my new favorite knife, it also might now be my sharpest.

An awesome knife, it is very easy to cut with this knife. I like the hard steel that makes right where I want and it stays very stable in my hand. It has a comfortable handle that helps to drive the knife in the direction I want. Wonderful product. I highly recommend it.

Got this for my son who is culinary school and he loves it. Says it's his favorite knife. Customer service was great as well.

i had the pro and it worked wonders for me, and made me love this brand. now i have this knife and i love it too, it is just as good and has never failed me. as a chef i truly appreciate the craftsmanship and durability that this brand and this specific knife bring to the table. there were some very minor issues with the fit and finish of the handle but that is not a problem at all and does not affect the way i feel about the knife.

I love this knife. It is the epitome of the Zwilling brand. I love how the weight of the knife is perfectly balanced, and that the bolster has the perfect placement for the pinch grip hold. I love how this chef knife has an unique blade shape in that it's curved more than traditional German knives and that way I can rock, slice and chop with this knife super easily. It feels solid and with the ice hardening and forging aspects of this knife, it's going to last for a long time. I also love this Holm Oak wood, I typically like a darker grain of wood, but this one looks so good against the stainless steel and it's a really durable wood, which is great for longevity. A great knife to invest in.

Love the feel of the knife and the value! I really like the Pro knives from Zwilling, but this is a special knife. I like the look of the wood handle when we are using it at the table, the regular ones seem so utilitarian and in the kitchen thats perfectly fine. I bring these knives to the table because they look so much more elegant and yet they have the same feel and cutting acumen of the Pro series that I use in the kitchen. They do require more attention as the handles need to be dried after washing but I take good care of my knives anyway and only use these for a seated dinner presentation.

If you're looking for the top of the line knife but enjoy the rustic look of a wood handle then look no further. The Zwilling Pro series, known for its unique curved bolster and perfectly weighted feel, is available with an oak handle. You will never hold another knife with a more comfortable bolster for the professional pinch grip. Made from specially formulated German no stain steel these knives are harder thus retaining their sharpness longer than other knives. The patented ice hardening process ensures flexibility to resist chips and cracks.

This handle of this matches the wood grain of my cabinets. I like the natural shade of the wood grain. This classic Pro line knife with a curved bolster allows for the full use of this knife. I like that I can hone and sharpen the full length of this blade. Super comfortable, classic three rivets handle.

This 10" Pro Holm Oak chef's knife is large and in charge in the kitchen. The beautiful handle is comfortable to hold while pinching the innovative curved bolster of the knife. And the German steel blade is incredibly durable and promises long-lasting sharpness.

Great look, weight, and feel. Little more belly in the blade than I like but no big deal.
