great, sharp knife. I use it for cutting chicken and it slices right through.. Sally. Benicia, CA. Wed Jul 08 2026

Sometimes a chopper is required for preparation work in the kitchen, primarily for chopping garlic or cleaving a chicken. A normal chef's knife is not always suitable for chopping vegetables or meat. It can even be dangerous when there is a chance of slipping. In such situations, it’s better to reach for a solid chopper with a special blade design that doesn’t require muscular strength even when cleaving tough pieces of meat. The Zwilling Pro series mini chopper boasts a balanced weight ratio and sits particularly comfortably in the hand with its 12 cm blade. The blade of the Sigmaforge knife is forged from a single piece of steel. Made from special formula stainless steel, it is especially corrosion-proof and durable. During manufacture, Friodur blades are additionally refined with special ice-hardening. In addition to its exceptionally high quality, the chopper impresses with its functionality and attractive design. The plastic ergonomic handle facilitates effortless and safe working and boasts a classic 3-rivet design. Thanks to its shape and slightly curved bottom, the chopper continues to sit comfortably in the hand even after prolonged work. This premium Zwilling Pro series chopper makes cooking even more fun.

I got this cleaver on a whim when shopping for other specific knives my boyfriend had mentioned he wanted. He has mentioned before that he would like a cleaver--this seemed like a perfect way to test the waters. It's hilariously small yet still effective! It has a good weight and good balance, and he used it to cut a large spaghetti squash fairly easily (1 strike, plus some pushing to get the knife all the way through). My only regret was assuming that the knife would fit in our Zwilling knife block, but the blade is too wide. I ended up buying a cleaver sheath but wish that could have been from Zwilling as well..

How did the WÜSTHOF Gourmet 10" Hollow Edge Roast Beef Slicer earn its name? Its distinct shape and sharpness were designed for efficiently carving ingredients and roasts — especially a delicious roast beef — into clean, even, wafer-thin slices.

This Roast Beef slicer is the most awesome knife I have ever owned. I purchased this product about 20+ years ago. Last year the handle cracked while I was using it. I called the company and they replaced it free of charge. How is that for a guarantee and standing behind their product? Well done. Carl12. Montville, NJ. Wed Jan 22 2014
