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 the patented SIGMAFORGE® technology, which is even moreThe knives are stronger and the blades are more resistant to dulling. A special process of hardening the knives with the patented FRIODUR® technology, which consists in hardening by freezing.

Maintenance of Zwilling knives

Washing and cleaning

Thanks to the special formula of the high-quality steel , Zwilling knives can be washed in the dishwasher, however, the knives should not beshould 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 handles, and can shorten the life of the knives and 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 gentle side of a sponge.

Cutting mat

We recommend using a flexible cutting mat (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

Sooner or later, even the best knife 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 knife develops a "tooth" or a deformation, we recommend that you get it into the hands of a specialist as soon as possible.
We recommend using genuine Zwilling sharpeners, whetstones and whetstones for sharpening.

Safe storage

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

The correct 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.
