ZWILLING Professional S 8-inch German Bread Knife

PROFESSIONAL "S" knives are the classic choice for the professional kitchen. Crafted with proprietary special formula steel perfected over 280 years, these FRIODUR blades from ZWILLING are renowned for their exceptional quality. Featuring the brand's signature ice-hardening technique, these knives are harder, sharper, and more resistant to staining or chipping, retaining their sharpness for longer.

Honed and hand-finished by skilled artisans, the knives' laser-controlled edges are incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard, while the precision-forged, single-piece construction ensures optimum balance and safe handling.

Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives. Whether tackling a crusty loaf or any other kitchen task, the Pro S series delivers. Its classic three-rivet handles distinguish it from Henckels' other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star, with the Pro S handles being heavier and the knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines, featuring high-tech welding that combines three steel types into a single, cohesive piece.

The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series is a reliable standard, admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The line contains knives for a variety of tasks, including paring, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chef's, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and more. These knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets to cater to all your cutlery needs.

The Sigmaforge one-piece, precision-forged construction of the Pro S knives provides perfect geometry, high precision, and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, enhancing cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. The Friodur ice hardening process further contributes to corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention.

Boasting a comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design, the Pro S knives won't wear against the hand and help provide control during any cutting task. The durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife, ensuring stability and durability. The impeccably balanced super bolster provides weight and adds balance for safer and more professional cutting.

Other key features of the Pro S line include a laser-controlled edge for a sharper and longer-lasting edge, a high-carbon, no-stain steel formula exclusive to J.A. Henckels, and a full visible tang construction for proper balance and greater strength. Dishwasher-safe for easy care (though hand washing is recommended), these knives are backed by a full warranty, ensuring J.A. Henckels' commitment to quality.
