Il coltello in s uno dei migliori coltelli da Chef europei, forse il migliore di questa tipologia. Ho scelto il professional s e non il Pro per il design pi accattivante del primo anche se il s condo, non avendo il codolo al tacco offre maggiore superficie di taglio. Cosa che comunque non mi dispiace tanto poich gi possiedo altri coltello da Chef a lama full cut. Dal punto di vista della funzionalit in cucina, che dire…. e’ Zwilling….
My son has one of these and after using it I had to get myself one . They are amazing knives ! Well made and of excellent quality. They stay sharp which I’ve never found with any other knife before. Cannot rate them highly enough.
Si tratta di un coltello costoso, ma di indubbia qualit. Tenendolo in mano si percepiscono la qualit dell’acciaio, la stabilit e l’ottimo bilanciamento. Suggerito a chi ha il piacere di tagliare carne, salame, verdura con un oggetto importante.
It’s the name that sells it. Quality knives through the ages. It’s the knife that a professional chefs like me use.

A knife is a knife, this particular one cuts good.
This is my 2nd one.
Bought it because I got on so well with the first which I had quite a long time until the blade crack inside the handle finally got too wobbly.
Nearly lost a few fingers the first day of using the new one!

Liegt sehr gut in der Hand und ist, wie ich leider schon mehrfach erfahren musste, super scharf.
Great quality knife, well made and classically designed. Perfect weight not too heavy and not too light. It was very sharp out of the box which is always a good sign, gave it a few passes on a leather strop and it came up a treat and holds its edge very well, very happy with my purchase, Tha price was great and Amazon delivery was exceptionally fast…Thank you.
Bought this for my husband as a surprise for Christmas. He loves it! Expensive but well worth it!

my sister absolutely loves this gift, in fact she might get another in a different size
I give these to clients. I received one 20 years ago as a wedding present and use it every day! Still the same quality today.
Das Messer liegt hervorragend in der Hand und schneidet bestens,wie gewnscht Es ist ein hervorragendes Geschenk fr sie und ihn.
Ottimo prodotto sotto tutti i punti di vista, qualit professionale. Consigliato a tutti coloro che vogliono lavorare bene in cucina.
Feels great to use! Fantastic weight in the hand, retained sharpness as long as I expected for a knife if this price, if not longer. Bought it for a chef who’s worked in kitchens for 10+ years. It’s not the best knife money can buy but it’s a great knife nonetheless if you’re looking for a solid 8 incher.
My son bought this knife for himself for university. Knife arrived the next day. Knife is good quality and price is great.
Gibt nicht viel zu sagen auer das es ein sehr scharfes und gutes Messer ist. Werde ich sicher lange Freude dran haben.
La marca una garanzia, nulla da segnalare. Preso per un regalo ma utilizzato, il coltello ben bilanciato e molto affilato (attenzione!).
Einfach unglaublich das Messer!! Hat die Schrfe einer Rasierklinge. Habe noch kein so scharfes und im Design so schnes Messer gehabt.
The knife is really well made with German steel with a cold process which is not harming the composition and phase of stell itself.
It is really sharp at the beginning, so users should be careful about handling the edge of the knife.
As it is really well sharpened at the moment I received the knife, It seems the knife is needed to be sharpened regularly to keep the same level of sharpness.
Ich als Kchin brauche scharfe Messer und Zwilling ist da einfach die richtige Wahl. Es ist soo scharf und liegt suuper in der Hand. Nicht zu schwer und nicht zu leicht und der Griff ist super, das ganze Messer ist super.
Bought this for my girlfriend for Christmas as she’s always wanted to have a high quality knife. It’s an incredible blade and anything I could compare it to would be insulting. I never thought it was worth spending a lot of $$$ on a knife, but boy was I wrong.
Kann es nicht genau bewrtetn die Zeit ist zu kurz
What can I say besides professional quality, excellent materials, and expert workmanship!!!
Replacement for the blade I destroyed carving a frozen turkey!
I’ve bought various knives over the years and this is the one I always go back to. Nicely balanced and can do a whole meal with just this one knife. Steel is good , but not too hard – so you get a good balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening.
For the home user – this is a perfect multi-purpose knife.

There are other designs for an 8″ that allow your hand to pinch the blade. Not my style
Das Messer von Zwilling ist sehr gut um alle mglichen Schneidearbeiten in der Kche zu verrichten…
Es ist sehr scharf und diese Eigenschaft hlt auch lange an.
Es liegt sehr gut in der Hand, das Gewicht ist ausgewogen verteilt und der Schnittschutz an der Klinge ist auch vorhanden.
Fr mich eignet sich dieses Kchenmesser perfekt. Und ist ein toller und verlsslicher Helfer in meiner Kche geworden, egal ob fr Fleisch, oder Gemse oder Obst, alles was ihm vor die Klinge kam schnitt es klein…
Klare Kaufempfehlung fr dieses tolle Messer.
Does the job, great balance, however, i hate the bolster.
Gute Qualitt ! Leider ist dass Messer noch etwas zu teuer aber die Qualitt passt – wie gesagt ein bisschen zu teuer:
What a knife. EXTREMELY sharp, nicely balanced, so beautifully easy to use. I now have four Zwilling J A Henckels kitchen knives (this one, a santoku, a small paring knife, and a bread knife) and they’re all excellent. ‘Pro’ Tip: If you’re going for a magnetic wall strip, get one that’s all wood on the outside to avoid accidental damage to the cutting edge when placing (as might happen if there’s a metal strip for it to ‘bang’ against).
I love the knife, it was a gift to a young chef and he was delighted with it.
My one regret is I cancelled 2nd knife and have a cancellation number, but I have been charged for two knives. I really would like you to look into accounts and credit my card. Please get in touch with me and I’ll give my information.
Assolve ottimamente allo scopo, comodo leggero ed allo stesso tempo robusto. Potevano metterci una custodia insieme. ampiamente soddisfatto dopo tutto
Fhrt man dieses Messer in seiner Hand, dann ist die einzig mgliche Assoziation das Lichtschwert der Jedi-Ritter. Bei jedem Schnitt fhlt man, dass die Macht mit einem ist.
ottimi coltelli da prendere ad occhi chiusi, la qualit la avverti appena lo impugni!!attenti alle dita.. amazon come sempre puntuale nella spedizione
It was a replacement for a knife that i already had previously which broke. So far I have no complaints.

Fantastic knife! Deadly sharp, not a tool for the novice, I recommend you google how to use one before you try to chop anything with it.
This knife is a pleasure to use, has a nice heft to it. I wash it by hand and store it back in the box so it stays nice and sharp.
Toll verarbeitet und super-scharf! Wir sind vollauf zufrieden. Haben bereits mehrere Messer von Zwilling, daher machen wir uns auch bei diesem keine Sorgen bezglich der Haltbarkeit.
Purchased as a gift for my partner, and he loved it! High quality and prompt arrival.
Great knife which arrived far quicker than the estimated time. Knife is sharp and well balanced. Far cheaper than anywhere else I could find.

Beautiful Henckel quality , german made worth every penny , a true high end professional knife
Bin ich richtig zufrieden, und wie! Sogar Zwiebelschneiden ist jetzt keine Schwierigkeit mehr. Die Schneide ist super, so wird der Zwiebel nett geschnitten und nicht zerquetscht. Falls sie ein Messer kaufen wollen, nehmen Sie diesen.
A knife like this one is expensive at first look but makes everything easier and if you take care of it it will last you a life time.

Volle Punktzahl, super scharf, przise, sehr gute Handhabung!
Ach und an alle das Messer wurde nach Gebrauch stumpf, tja das ist halt normal, ein Reifen vom Auto wird auch nicht besser! Vorteil bei Messern ist, dass man sie schrfen kann! Ich nutze dafr einen Wetzstahl.
Dies ist mein drittes Zwilling Messer und ich wurde bisher noch nie enttuscht!
Amazing knife! Cant use any other knife after trying this one.
Sharp, good balance and size for most work. Also, very good value given comparison to other high quality knives.

A knife that will last decades if well cared for.

Ein grandioses Messer. Es ist sein Geld absolut wert und hochwertig. Es ist fr Gastronomie und Laien gleichermaen gut geeignet. Es ist sehr scharf und schneidet richtig gu
To put a disclaimer before I start, my review only reflects my opinion as an amateur cook and non-expert of knives, so if you are an professional chef (although I don’t think you’d be needing a 8 inch knife you are one) and a connoiseur of blades you may not find the informations I provide to be very useful. On the other hand, if you are looking for a good knife to use in the kitchen and your expectation of the knife is a solid, good-looking, decent and handy tool, then I’d be glad my review could help you choosing.
Initially there were four knives I put into consideration, Zwilling Professional S and Profection, and Wustof Classic and Classic Ikon. I tried the Wusthofs about their weight and feel at a local store but since I didn’t buy them and actually try them at home, I couldn’t comment on how their performance could be apart from that I found the alleged improvement on the Classic Ikon handle and bolster seems didn’t make me feel much better than the ones on the Classic line (when the advance of sharpening is not considered). Actually, as I hold them using pinch-grip when I put them in my hand with some rocking-motion on the cutting board on display (it was the one on top of which they let you play with their knives) and I actually found the Classic Ikon seems to be handle heavy than the Classic. But I could see why the Classic Ikon line boasts the new handle design as it does feel quite comfortable when you hold the knife on the handle without pinching the blade. So it still does make me see much more advantage in the handle to justify the additional 20 euros as when you use pinch-griping the knife a significant portion of the handle would be in your palm, at least for someone who has small hands like me.
So about the Zwillings. They definitely both good knives, but I’d give the profection a edge (or two?) over the Pro-S which is much more traditional in its design. The difference in shapes of the blade and the bolsters actually make quite significant difference on their cutting performances.
The profection feels much more comfortable when you pinch-grip it and the control it enhances is quite obvious an improvement (notice lots of people who doesn’t know about pinch-griping or use more both the middle and index figure on the blade, if you do so then the profection could be quite uncomfortable), while the professional S is the least comfortable in bolster amongst the four as its transition from the blade to the handle is the least soft and most angular (although by not means as angular as you might think) amongst the four.
The cutting performance is quite different as well: the profection makes the use of the middle part of the blade much better than the traditional design which makes jullienning much more at ease. It actually feels like as if it has a twist of santoku, while definitely a chef in most part. While the pro-s is throughly a western styled knife which most people are used to. But the draw back is the profile of profection makes it less good at mincing garlic using the cross-chopping less smooth than the pro-s as the curveture on the profection makes the tip-to-bolster motion harder to establish than the less curved pro-S (or in that regard, the wusthofs). Instead I found out the best way of mincing garlic using this one is by rapid chopping (which I like very much faster). Also the length of the rocking motion you could exert on the profection seems to be shorter than the pro-s due to the same problem, but its designer completely make up the shorter cutting trail (I’m not using the right word, I guest?)by making the middle part of the blade wider–it actually leads to incredible neat cutting performance (due to the added weight on the middle part by the width?) once one pass the initial three minutes adaptation. Another thing which made me to opt for the profection is the width of its blade allows the knuckles feel the knife much better than the pro-s (and the wusthofs)–especially when you are using the first half of the blade (my knuckles were constantly in touch with the blade which makes me feel much safer). I can certainly see why zwilling claims the new blade design is fusion of western and eastern knives.
About the handles: the blade on profection is the same as the ones on the twin pro and the twin 1731 (a much more expanse knife more suitable for collection), but the twin pro has a traditional handle just like the pro-s, which is thinner when you grip it (although I never hold the twin pro). But I like the design of the profection better as it is more chic. Somehow if you have really small hands like some small girls, then I’d say the handle on the profection may be a little bit on the thick side for a solid grip.
Conclusion: if you are an amateur cook or a someone who has been/is/going to a lot of work in the kitchen and looking for an affordable good knife under 100 euros, than I’d think the profection is indeed a good choice. Also, if you also like to make international cuisines (esp. Chinese/Japanese) but opt for a chef instead of a santoku, then the profection (or the ones with similar blade design) may be ideal for you (it’s like two knives in one, lol.). But if you are so used to the traditional, less curved western (esp. german) knives and do not want to change you habit a bit then look for pro-s or wusthof. In addition, I found the pro-s to be a little bit handle heavy for my taste. Also, they both are sharp enough (though not up to the sharpness of the japanese ones), although I heard the blade angle of the profection is 30 degrees, and 40 degrees on the pro.
One last words: Pro-S has high CPR, but the additional 20 euros justifies the profection.
Sehr tolles Material und eine super Qualitt, angenehmes Gleichgewicht, wahnsinnige Schrfe und das auch nach 8 Monaten Dauereinsatz! Bisher komplett rostfrei. Uneingeschrnkt empfehlenswert!
Total geiles Teil seit ca. 6 Monaten in Gebrauch super scharf zum Schneiden und Hacken bestens geeignet wrde jederzeit wieder so ein Teil kaufe
Hallo,
zum Lieferservice von Amazon muss man eigentlich nichts sagen. Super wie immer!
Jetzt zum Produkt: Das Positive vorweg, dieses Messer ist wirklich gut verarbeitet und scharf ist es auch! Liegt gut in der Hand und das Gewicht ist stimmig. Preis/ Leistungverhltniss stimmt, aber jetzt leider zum etwas negativen Punkt, welcher mir leider ein wenig zu spt aufgefallen ist. Warum?! Fragt mich bitte nicht, habe es einfach zu anfang bersehen. Vorne an der Spitze der Schneide habe ich jetzt 2 kleine Ausbrche entdeckt! Von mir sind sie nicht verursacht, da ich das Messer noch nicht viel benutzt habe und wenn dann nur fr Tomaten bis jetzt. Herunter gefallen ist es auch nicht. Bei einem Messer das ursprnglich fast 90 kostet, erwarte ich das sowas gerade bei einem Messer nicht der Fall ist. Die Ausbrche sind recht klein, aber man kann sie mit dem Auge erkennen, somit achtet bitte beim Kauf immer darauf wie die Schneide ist. Ansonsten super Produkt wie gesagt!

Durch die Gre und Ausgewogenheit lsst sich Gemse sehr klein, schnell, gleichmig und mhelos schneiden.
Die Breite und Gre der Klinge sind optimal. Durch die Breite erreicht man mit den Fingerknchel nicht das Brett. Das ist mir sehr wichtig.
Die Schrfe im Neuzustand war so ungewhnlich, dass ich mich sofort geschnitten habe. Mit den Jahren stumpft es natrlich deutlich ab. Alle 2-3 Jahre lasse ich es professionell schrfen, und alle paar Monate mache ich das selbst. Danach ist es wieder fast wie neu und jedes mal wieder Vorsicht geboten.

Habe es mit der “four star Serie” verglichen und es ist um einiges wertiger und prziser in der Handhabung.
Ich bevorzuge den schwereren Griff, den die 4-Star-Serie nicht hat.
Schrfe ist in dieser Klasse sehr gut denke ich, und als Hobbykoch bin ich sehr zufrieden damit!
Habe verschiedene Serien ausprobiert, und diese war fr mich am stimmigsten.

Kann ich nur empfehlen.
