Know before you buy
The serrated edge is specifically designed to grip and slice through foods with tough skins or crusts while protecting soft interiors. It is ideal for tasks like cutting baguettes, slicing tomatoes, or prepping sausages without crushing the delicate texture.
This process involves freezing the steel to improve its molecular structure. It results in a blade that is exceptionally sharp, highly resistant to corrosion, and capable of holding its edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel.
While the knife is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it. Dishwashers can cause the blade to dull faster due to contact with other utensils and harsh detergents, which can compromise the edge over time.
The All*Star collection allows you to customize the look of your knife by swapping the decorative end cap on the handle. It is a design feature that lets you personalize your kitchen tools or color-code your collection.
This knife is precision-forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel using ZWILLING's SIGMAFORGE process. This method creates a stronger, more balanced, and more durable blade compared to stamped alternatives.
