Zwilling J.A. Henckels Professional "S" and Twin Cuisine, Chef's Knife or Santoku, are $20 each at WS Outlet.
These were in the clearance section (extra 50% off) of the Williams-Sonoma Outlet in San Marcos, TX, marked $39.99 before discount, so YMMV at other locations. Similar to these: 7" Santoku [amazon.com] 8" Chef's Knife [amazon.com] They were also available in the Pro S style: Pro S Chef's Knife [williams-sonoma.com] I picked up one of each in the Twin Cuisine style since it almost matches my 5-star set. There were probably about 40 remaining. |
A little surprised nobody gave you any love on this post.
I went to the Wrentham MA outlet mall and grabbed one of the last two Professional S Chef's knives. There were no Santokus and maybe 50 Twin Cuisines Chef's knives left. They did not have any 50% off, however. Still, at $39.99 - 15% off (AAA discount) = $34, I am not complaining. I needed a Chef's knife to match my Wusthof Classic collection. The Henckels Professional S is identical. Important to note that these knives are stamped with a "B". This means B stock or B grade items. They will all have some form of blemish or imperfection. My knife, for instance has a small step in the grind just before the bolster. I knew this before I bought it and it did not stop me. The food I hack to bits will not know the difference. Repped, Thumbed up, greened, whatever. |
for real? I will buy them all at $30+ lol j/k. I will stop by after work tomorrow

None left at the Leesburg Va outlet. Booo...

people get hurt if they are stamped and not forged

The Las Vegas outlet (at Primm) still has at least ten of the 8" Pro S Chefs knives, for $39.99 - 30% off clearance = ~$28 + tax. I was looking for the Santoku version, but they were out. Still, picked up a spare of the Chefs knife to match my set.

Interesting, comparing the B grade Pro S chefs knife I picked up with the original from my set (purchased about 10 years back) - the only two differences I can see are 1) the wording is stamped on the other side of the blade, and 2) the B knife is much thicker looking down on the top of the knife.
The Pro S has a full tang into the handle, and on most of them the tang is the thickness of the blade as it extends from the handle. On the B knife, the blade is about 50% thicker than the tang. Not sure if that is the fault, as there is no other blemish I can see, but it does make the knife heavier in the hand and more weighted towards the tip of the blade. I actually like the balance and feel of the B knife better than the original! |
