Pro Compact Chef Knife 7-inch

Details

The ZWILLING Pro Sous Chef’s Knife 7 inch is a compact, versatile chef’s knife designed for precision, comfort and control. Ideal for everyday kitchen tasks, it offers professional performance in a slightly shorter blade length that provides excellent maneuverability.

The signature curved bolster acts as a natural extension of the hand, supporting a professional pinch grip with thumb and index finger on the blade. This design improves balance, safety and cutting accuracy while reducing hand fatigue during extended use.

The blade profile combines the best of Western and Japanese cutting styles. A broad curve at the front supports smooth rocking motions, while the straighter back section allows efficient chopping. The full length of the blade can be sharpened from bolster to tip, maximizing usability and longevity.

Forged from a single piece of special formula high carbon stainless steel, the SIGMAFORGE blade is ice hardened using the FRIODUR process, resulting in exceptional sharpness, durability and edge retention. Precision honing and a laser controlled edge ensure an ideal cutting angle for consistent performance.
