Technology and production

A special blend of the finest German steel, produced exclusively for Zwilling, with the optimum ratio of chromium and carbon, guarantees the best properties, with a hardness of approximately 57 HRC on the Rockwell scale. Combined with sophisticated manufacturing technologies this results in knives that are robust, extremely durable, flexible, corrosion resistant with long lasting sharpness.
The knives are forged from a single piece of steel using patented SIGMAFORGE® technology, which further enhances the excellent properties of quality steel - the knives are stronger and the blades are more resistant to dulling. A special knife hardening process using the patented FRIODUR® technology, which consists of freeze hardening. Tempering the steel harmonizes its molecular structure, removes internal stresses, creates exceptional flexibility and prevents blade breakage.
The tapered blade profile and laser-controlled V-shaped blade ensure excellent and long-lasting sharpness. The flawless geometry and perfect balance of the blade ensure a precise and safe cutting line that will not tire your hand even with prolonged use.
The guard (the reinforced steel part of the knife between the blade and the handle) serves not only to effectively protect the fingers, it also provides firm support for the fingers and balances the entire knife to make using the knives more comfortable and above all safer. Its robust design stabilises the transfer of force from the blade to the handle, preventing the knife from bending.
The ergonomically shaped handle is made of high-quality synthetic material that is impact and scratch resistant and remains stable even when exposed to temperature changes. The handle is firmly attached to the covered blade, the quality seamless connection of the handle to the blade ensures comfortable use and perfect hygiene (no food residues cling to the handle).

Maintenance of Zwilling knives

Washing and cleaning

Zwilling knives can be washed in the dishwasher due to the special formula of the high-quality steel, but the knives should not be exposed to temperatures above 55 °C and should not touch any other objects (pots, cutlery, other knives). Dishwasher detergents often contain aggressive chemicals that can damage the surface of the steel and the handle while also shortening the life of the blades and reducing the time they retain their high sharpness. Hand washing is gentler on knives and is therefore recommended. Wash knives with lukewarm water and a mild detergent with the soft side of a sponge.

Cutting mat

We recommend using a flexible cutting board - wooden, silicone or plastic. Materials that are too hard, such as glass, granite or ceramic, can damage the blade and cutting edge under certain circumstances.

Sharpening / grinding

Every knife, even the best one, sooner or later loses its original sharpness and needs to be sharpened. And because a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one, we recommend that you sharpen your knives regularly. If a "tooth" or deformation develops on the knife, we recommend that the knife be handed over to a specialist as soon as possible.
We recommend using original Zwilling sharpeners and whetstones for sharpening.
We are happy to arrange for knife sharpening directly at the manufacturer or recommend a proven knife shop. The staff at Potten & Pannen - Staněk will be happy to demonstrate the correct knife sharpening procedure at any time.

Safe storage

Store knives in a safe place (out of reach of children), always making sure the handle is facing you, not the blade. The blades should not touch each other during storage.
Always place only cleaned and dried knives in the wooden knife block or on the magnetic bar.

The right knife

Always use the right knife - the size and texture of the ingredients you are processing (meat, vegetables, fish, baked goods) varies greatly, so use specific cutting techniques and therefore a specific knife for each ingredient.
