Aiming - every knife needs to be revived over time. The Zwilling knife sharpener with a chrome-plated sheath is just the thing for this purpose, allowing you to sharpen your knives with ease.

The ergonomic handle smoothly follows the blade forged from a single piece of the highest quality, freeze-hardened stainless steel. The combination of quality materials and new technological processes results in a knife with a durable, well-balanced, flexible blade with long-lasting sharpness.

A special blend of the finest German steel with the optimum ratio of chromium and carbon guarantees the best properties. The knives are forged from a single piece of steel using Sigmaforge® technology and are hardened using Friodur® technology, which consists of freeze hardening, making the knives harder and more resistant to corrosion.

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.
