The Zwilling Gourmet knife is the perfect general-purpose knife for both new cooks and professional chefs alike. A chef knife is a rather versatile blade, well-sized to easily chop everything from vegetables and herbs to fish and meat. The sturdy knife is remarkably well-balanced and lightweight while the ergonomically designed handle provides a secure and accurate grip. Best of all, the blade has been meticulously crafted from the highest quality Friodur ice-hardened stainless steel to ensure maximum precision and longevity.
