Know before you buy
The curved bolster is specifically designed to support a professional pinch grip. This promotes better control and safety while reducing hand fatigue during extended prep sessions.
Yes. Unlike many knives that have a thick heel, these blades are designed to be sharpened from the bolster all the way to the tip, allowing you to utilize the full length of the edge.
The Chef's Knife features a broader curve at the tip to facilitate efficient rocking motions, while the straight back is optimized for Asian-style chopping techniques.
Yes, the set comes with a 16-slot hardwood block. Since the set includes 10 pieces, you have 6 additional slots available to store other knives you may already own.
While the stainless steel is durable, we recommend hand-washing these knives to maintain the integrity of the edge and prevent the handles from dulling over time.
The ZWILLING Pro series is designed in Italy by Matteo Thun and manufactured in Germany by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels to ensure high-quality craftsmanship.
