Zwilling Pro Serrated Prep Knife, 5 1/2"

Summary

After three years of rigorous testing, Zwilling knifemakers hit upon the "sweet spot" for this blade's serrated edge. The unique pattern of large and small scallops cuts easily through tough foods—hard-skinned vegetables, crusty breads—without tearing or crushing delicate textures such as soft bread or ripe tomatoes.

• Multipurpose serrated knife offers plenty of knuckle clearance for chopping yet is small enough for paring tasks.
• Unique scalloped serrations hold their sharpness and excel for cutting a wide range of food textures.
• Precision forged using Zwilling’s Sigmaforge process, which incorporates the Friodur ice-hardening technique to produce corrosion-resistant blades that are exceptionally hard yet flexible.
• Made in Germany by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, founded in 1731.

Use & Care

Use
