Technologies and materials used:

For the production of the knives, a special high-quality steel with an optimum amount of chromium and carbon was used, produced according to special requirements exclusively for ZWILLING J. A. Henckels. With a Rockwell hardness of approx. 57 HRC, this steel is flexible, has good initial cutting performance, long blade life and perfect corrosion resistance. Knives made of this special steel are also easy to sharpen. Confirmation of the correct "recipe" for its production is the fact that over 100 million knives have already been made from it without changing the steel composition.

The properties of the steel are further enhanced for the purpose of knife production by a special patented FRIODUR® hardening method, whereby the steel is frozen to -70 °C after heating to a temperature of over 1000 °C and hardening and then heated twice more to a temperature of approx. 250 °C. The resulting molecular structure significantly increases the hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance of the knife.

The blade is forged from a single piece of steel using the SIGMAFORGE® method, which improves the properties of the steel. Blades forged in this way have a denser and more homogeneous structure, which ensures greater strength, toughness and resistance to dulling.

The stable blade and the perfect geometry of the blade result in exceptional cutting performance and precise control in the cut. The sharp angle provides even more sharpness, which makes slicing more enjoyable. Thanks to the wedge-shaped cut, the knife penetrates food effortlessly. The shape of the cradle helps to intuitively use the knife for easy and precise cutting.

The Standard guard is integrated as part of the blade in one piece of steel. Ensures correct weight distribution, protects fingers from slipping on the blade and ensures precise control of the knife.

The ergonomic handle is made of a durable synthetic material that is shatterproof, impact-resistant or resistant to food acids. Dishwasher safe. The handles are attached to the tang by three rivets. The perfect bonding of the individual parts prevents the trapping of deposits and bacteria, so the knives meet strict hygiene standards.
