Zwilling J.A. Henckels Professional S 5in Serrated Utility Knife 1001497

Discover the unmatched craftsmanship and enduring quality of the ZWILLING Professional “S” 5-Inch Serrated Utility Knife, a must-have tool in any serious kitchen. Designed for professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts alike, this utility knife delivers precision cutting, durable performance, and timeless aesthetics. Crafted in Germany using ZWILLING’s proprietary special formula steel, the Professional “S” series represents nearly three centuries of engineering excellence and kitchen innovation.

The heart of this knife is its 5-inch serrated utility blade, which easily tackles a wide range of everyday kitchen tasks. Whether slicing through crusty breads, tomatoes, citrus fruits, or sandwiches, the razor-sharp serrated edge cuts with precision and minimal tearing. This specialized edge makes it especially useful for foods with tough exteriors and delicate interiors. With an overall length of 9.375 inches, the knife is well-balanced, compact, and agile—ideal for fast-paced meal prep in both home and professional environments.

Each blade in the Professional “S” series undergoes ZWILLING’s exclusive FRIODUR® ice-hardening process, a technique that enhances corrosion resistance, increases blade hardness, and improves edge retention. This results in a knife that stays sharper longer, resists chipping, and maintains its performance over time. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, the full-tang construction delivers exceptional strength, balance, and reliability with every cut.

The laser-controlled edge, honed and hand-finished by expert German artisans, ensures consistency and cutting power that professional chefs trust. Thanks to its precision engineering and quality materials, the Professional “S” serrated utility knife offers the long-lasting sharpness and edge geometry required for efficient food preparation in high-volume kitchens.

A hallmark of this knife is the classic three-rivet handle, constructed from durable black polymer. Designed with ergonomics in mind, the handle fits comfortably in the hand and supports fatigue-free cutting. The handle is secured with stainless steel rivets, adding strength and aesthetic appeal while reinforcing the knife’s traditional European styling. The forged bolster enhances stability and provides a smooth transition between the blade and the handle, doubling as a finger guard for added safety during use.

This serrated utility knife isn’t just a reliable kitchen tool—it’s a product of heritage and dedication to quality. For generations, professional chefs around the world have trusted the ZWILLING Professional “S” line for its durability, cutting performance, and precision craftsmanship. Now you can experience the same level of excellence in your own kitchen.

The 5-inch serrated stainless steel blade paired with a black polymer three-rivet handle makes this knife an elegant, high-performance kitchen essential.
