The ZWILLING Pro 2-pc Chef's Set includes two of our most popular and useful knives, the 8" Chef's Knife and 4" Paring Knife. A unique curved bolster supports the professional pinch grip, with thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was redesigned with a broader curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the Asian chopping motion. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip.
