Step up your prep.

What a lineup! The Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro line of prep knives is about to help you sail through all the slicing and dicing you've got ahead. There's a blade for every task, just watch.

• The 5.5" Serrated Prep Knife is great for all fruits and veggies, but its serrated edge makes its especially suited for slicing and dicing the more delicate ones—think: tomatoes. It'll also cut through tough skins and bread crusts, get the skin off a grapefruit, slice up meats and cheeses, butterfly chicken breasts, de-vein shrimp, and lots more. The blade allows for plenty of knuckle clearance as you chop, yet is small enough for in-hand paring tasks.

• The 5.5" Fine-Edge Prep Knife is the essential prep knife, perfect for all your detailed prep tasks. Its small size makes it your most nimble kitchen companion and feels great in hand.

• The 7" Hybrid Prep/Chef Knife, with its larger blade, is the perfect mix of a chef's knife and a prep knife. It can take on all the big tasks, while maneuvering like a champ for more detailed tasks. We love how versatile it is and the extra heft it brings to veggie and meat prep. It really is a can-do-anything sort of knife.

You have a few options for how you want to get set: Go for either the 5.5" serrated knife or the 7" hybrid prep/chef knife on its own, or get a handy set of two 5.5" prep knives—one with a fine-edge blade and one with a serrated blade.
