The Zwilling 5.5 inch Prep knife looks just like a mini chef's knife!  I use this for the same things I normally use the larger chef's knife for, but when only needing a smaller amount of ingredients.  Decided on a stamped knife, because it's lighter than a forged blade, which makes it really easy to pull out and use. Still made with Zwilling special formula steel, and has a full tang for durability. This knife is made to last a lifetime and Zwilling guarantees it.
