ZWILLING TWIN Signature 5.5-inch Prep Knife

Is it a "chiefs knife or a prep knife, who cares, its wonderful. A hybrid knife, sort of an longer version of a Japanese petite knife, a great all purpose knife. Very sharp, strong yet flexible German steel makes this knife a welcome addition to any kitchen. Yup, I like its design, handle comfort and all around functionality and its a Zwilling. Get one for yourself and a nice gift for a loved one...

I love this little prep knife and find myself reaching for it often for small cutting jobs! it's VERY sharp and i haven't found anything yet that it won't cut easily. It's smaller size makes handling it easy, but it's still big enough to cut most things I'm frequently cutting/slicing. Great quality, and it has a nice balanced weight to it. so far it's stayed sharp so seems to have good edge retention and it's comfortable for me to hold.

Zwilling has various levels of quality, from good preparation to Iron Chef usage. This particular knife is better than the average which is great for the quality that we need and utilize in our kitchen. Easy to grip with anti slide, full tang, great size, not too heavy and the major reason I bought it was the hollow blade. I wanted to work with a blade that sheds cut vegetables easier. The hollow blade does that by having divot like indents along the blade to break surface tension. I would recommend this knife.

This is my third purchase of as zwilling. I bought this for my friend for christmas.I know they will be super excited.It's a little bit smaller, but definitely mighty. These knives are super sharp and have a great lifespan. Worth every dollar

I have many quality knives but I am always on the look out for another useful addition. This is such a knife. I find myself reaching for it often while prepping many types of food, vegetables mostly. It is lighter than my other Zwilling or Wusthof knives but perfect for fine slicing and very adaptable. Super sharp.

If this is about their 5.5 inch utility knife, it is what I was looking for. The fact that it is a Zwilling, is even better.

This is more a toy than a good prep knife. It has a tiny handle and a thin blade and has hardly any weight or heft to it. I was shocked to see unserious it was when I first received it. Although it did arrive sharpened, and has maintained its edge for the few dozen times I’ve used it, whenever I cut anything harder then celery I’m afraid it will snap.

This prep knife is perfect for smaller hands, and i just love how sharp it is.

It is crazy sharp! The triangular shape of the blade makes for easy cutting without knuckles hitting the cutting board. Comfortable grip. My disappointment is that there is No weight to the knife at all. So balance doesn't come into play either. It would be great if Henkle can advise me to finding a weighted knife that feels professional...which is what I thought I was purchasing. I'm sure it will have a long life but I'm still disappointed.

This is an excellent smaller, knife for chopping food when a larger chef knife is not needed. The steel is somewhat thinner than anticipated but is an advantage for chopping. An excellent product for the price and highly recommended.

I needed something not too large for food prep. My hands are small and this does the job.
