Through our traditional values, creative visions and innovative techniques, we offer you a diverse range of products that are characterised by highest quality, functionality and a stylish, timeless design. Advantages at a glance 7-piece knife block made of bamboo With five knives and sharpening steel High edge retention Stable and flexible due to ice-hardened blade Balanced weight distribution Made in Germany - Durable, corrosion resistant High quality steel Top quality begins with the raw material. That is why our knife steels are manufactured to the highest standards. The ZWILLING special alloy is characterised by an optimum ratio between carbon (hardness) and chromium (corrosion resistance). In combination with the manufacturing process, the composition results in a robust and extremely durable knife that is equally stable, corrosion-resistant and flexible. Thanks to a heat treatment optimally matched to the steel, this steel achieves between 55 and 58 Rockwell. Innovative Technique The right material hardness is important: If the steel is too soft, the sharpness of the blade quickly diminishes. If it is too hard, the steel breaks. With our innovative FRIODUR blades, the steel undergoes 4 steps of heat treatment. The last step, ice hardening, improves hardness, wear and corrosion resistance. In the final process, tension is removed from the material, resulting in high flexibility, safety during use and preventing blade breakage. Modern design The unmistakable three-rivet design of our TWIN Pollux knife series is characterised by a flat heel and fitted handle grips. The rivets connect the two elements together, making the knife a durable kitchen tool. Tips for long-lasting sharpness Even a good knife should always be cared for to ensure sharpness. Therefore it is important to only use flexible cutting boards such as bamboo and plastic. A sharpening rod sharpens dull blades. To do this, pull the blade along the sharpening steel at a 15Β° angle in a slight arc and repeat the process on each side depending on the desired sharpness. Review: Fantastic Knive Set - Highly Recommended - Not easy picking knives on line but I did a lot of research. I'd made the mistake of buying some Wustoff knives that had nasty cheap plastic handles, so wanting to be be sure this time around. Well these knives are the business, nicely weighted, razor sharp and comfortably shaped handles. But the best thing about this set, apart from the superb quality, is that they are the right mix of sizes for everyday use. So many sets have too many long knives and too few small/medium knives. This set doesn't have a lot of knives but they are exactly the ones you need. Just two things to be aware of, the block is angled at about 45o and hence does protrude a bit across the worktop and the handle of the sharpening steel is not Henkel branded (different to the one shown in the graphic). Overall, this is an amazing value set of knives that look and function of professional quality. Review: More than five stars ! - I really love them and the price is a real bargain, the sum of the prices of each item would be more than double. The quality of Zwilling is well known, the handles are much ergonomic, the knives are light but well balanced and their sharpness and sturdiness are just perfect. The sharpener steel is much better quality than I expected. I bought many knives and many of them were Zwilling, but by far this is the best purchase I've done. I totally recommend them. ## Features - Stamped from high carbon stainless steel strip - FRIODUR ice-hardened blade for exceptional durability of the cutting edge and corrosion resistance - No bolster - Dishwasher safe but hand washing recommended ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000UP8CYG | | Best Sellers Rank | 135,555 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 135 in Kitchen Knife Sets | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Blade edge | Plain | | Blade material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | ZWILLING | | Brand Name | ZWILLING | | Colour | Black | | Construction Type | Forged | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 408 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04009839220104 | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel,Steel | | Included Components | 7 knives, 1 knife block | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 114.5 x 11 x 28 centimetres | | Item Length | 114 Centimetres | | Item Type Name | Zwilling J.

All the knives and sharpener have a place and there is a slot for kitchen scissors. **Q: Is this eversharp? i.e., never gets blunt** A: All knives get dull from use, good steel can be sharpened to a razor edge and hold it until abused. Knife sharpening is an art, my preference is the Eze Lap diamond honing kit: http://www.amazon.com/EZE-LAP-PAK5-Color-Coded-Diamond/dp/B002RL83DQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1438790611&sr=8-5&keywords=eze-lap **Q: How heavy are these knives? I want to buy it for my mum who is in her 60s** A: they are no heavier than any other knives of a similar construction. They are very easy to use and extremely sharp. The wooden case is heavy which assists in the removal of the knives. My wife thinks that they are great and she is in her 60's. **Q: Isn't the wooden block unhygienic??** A: Wood has natural anti bacterial qualities plus one would assume you are only putting clean knives in the block. I have always used wood knife blocks, chopping boards also. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Knive Set - Highly Recommended *by J***N on 7 January 2017* Not easy picking knives on line but I did a lot of research.
