Crafted for precision and versatility, this Sous Chef's Knife features a unique hybrid design for everyday prep work. With a slightly curved blade, this compact knife combines the nimbleness of a utility knife with the power of a chef's knife, giving you total control with every cut. The wide blade provides generous knuckle clearance for efficient chopping, while the gently curved belly makes it ideal for rocking cuts.ZWILLING Pro boasts a unique curved bolster that acts as an extension of the hand, supporting the professional pinch grip for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was designed with a broad curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the chopping motion Japanese knives were designed for. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.
