FAQs

What types of knives are included in this 8-piece set?

The set includes a paring knife (10cm), utility knife (13cm), carving knife (16cm), chef's knife (20cm), bread knife (20cm), sharpening steel, and multi-purpose shears (21cm), along with an empty knife block.

Are the knives truly dishwasher safe?

Yes, the knives are designed to be dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is highly recommended to maintain the optimal sharpness and longevity of the blades.

What is the benefit of SIGMAFORGE and FRIODUR technology?

SIGMAFORGE means the knives are precision forged from a single piece of steel for superior strength and balance. FRIODUR ice-hardening enhances corrosion resistance and ensures the blade stays sharp for longer.

What is the ZWILLING Lifetime Warranty?

The ZWILLING Lifetime Warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures the product's quality and durability for its intended lifespan under normal use.

Can I store other knives in this block?

The block is designed to hold the included knives and shears. It may have additional slots that can accommodate other knives, but ensure they fit securely and safely.

How often should I use the sharpening steel?

It's recommended to use the sharpening steel regularly, ideally before or after each use, to maintain the knife's edge and keep it sharp for optimal cutting performance.

Troubleshooting

Knife not cutting effectively

The blade may be dull. Use the included sharpening steel to hone the edge. If the edge is significantly compromised, professional sharpening might be required.

Handle feels loose

Inspect the handle and bolster area for any visible damage. If the looseness is significant or concerning, contact customer support regarding the ZWILLING Lifetime Warranty.

Rust spots appearing on the blade

This can occur if the knife is left wet or exposed to corrosive substances. Wash immediately with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly. For minor spots, a non-abrasive metal polish may help. Regular drying after washing is key.

Shears feel stiff

Clean the shears thoroughly, paying attention to the pivot point. Apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to the pivot and work the shears to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Unpack all components carefully. Insert the provided knives and shears into the appropriate slots in the empty knife block. Ensure the sharpening steel is also placed securely within the block or in a designated safe location.

Compatibility: The included knives are designed for general kitchen use. The knife block is designed to hold the specific pieces included in the set, plus additional knives and tools based on its slot configuration. Ensure any additional items you wish to store are compatible with the block's dimensions.

Care: While the knives and shears are listed as dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild detergent and warm water is strongly recommended to preserve the sharpness of the blades and the integrity of the handle material. Dry knives immediately after washing with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and corrosion. Use the sharpening steel regularly to maintain the V-Edge. Store knives properly in the block to protect the blades and ensure user safety. Avoid using knives on hard surfaces like stone or metal countertops, opting for a wooden or plastic cutting board.
