Zwilling Pro is the most user-friendly knife available to the market. The unique blade shape and ergonomic bolster are the results of 280 years of experience in knife making, and the rigorous study of how knives are used. A unique curved bolster supports the professional pinch grip, with the thumb and index finger on the blade, for safe cutting and less fatigue. The blade was redesigned with a broader curve in the front to facilitate the rocking motion of Western cutting, while the straight back is ideal for the Asian chopping motion. The full length of the blade can be used when cutting and can be sharpened from bolster to tip Designed in Italy by Matteo Thun and made in Germany by Zwilling J.A. Henckels, the company that sets the standard for exceptional cutlery worldwide.
We've owned this Zwilling Pro 17 pc Knife set for a few years, and it's still in excellent condition. Knives are sharpened as needed, and they are quite sharp, making prep work a breeze; even for arthritic hands. They're perfectly weighted and balanced with comfortable handles. We use every knife in the set regularly, and the scissors are fantastic, too. The block is also good quality, quite sturdy. Have a third (top) rack in the dishwasher, allowing me to place the smaller bladed pieces in slots, and lay the large blades flat. They come out looking great, with no rusting. I air dry (no heat option), remove them immediately, give them a wipe with toweling and store. If I was younger, I'd hand wash, but the dishwasher method has worked quite well. Very pleased with this set. It will last for many more years.. Jodi. West Jordan, UT. Sun Dec 08 2024
