Product Information

Full details

The ZWILLING Pro 7-Piece Knife Block Set is designed for home cooks who value precision and convenience, offering a solution to keep high-quality blades razor-sharp without manual effort. Its standout KIS (Keep It Sharp) technology automatically hones knives every time they are removed or returned to the block, ensuring optimal edge retention for a lifetime of performance. The main caveat is that the self-sharpening slots are specifically engineered for smooth-edged blades, meaning serrated knives do not benefit from the integrated ceramic sharpening mechanism.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I sharpen serrated knives in this block?

No. The KIS technology is designed only for smooth-edged blades. Serrated knives should be placed in the designated slots that do not have the sharpening mechanism.

How often should I sharpen the knives manually?

Because the KIS technology hones the edge with every use, you should not need to sharpen the smooth-edged knives manually when used correctly according to the manual.

Is the block dishwasher safe?

No, the ash wood block must not be placed in a dishwasher. It should be cleaned with a damp cloth only.

What happens if I put a knife in the wrong slot?

The slots are marked with pictograms to help you identify the correct space. Putting a knife in the wrong slot may result in a poor fit or failure to trigger the sharpening stones.

What is the weight of the full set?

The complete 7-piece set with the wooden block weighs approximately 3.92 kg.

Troubleshooting

Knife feels 'stuck' when pulling out of the slot.

Ensure you are pulling the knife out straight along the spine of the blade. Do not wiggle the blade, as this may catch on the internal sharpening mechanism.

The knife edge does not feel sharp.

Verify that you are using the correct slot. Serrated knives do not get sharpened by this block. For smooth-edged knives, ensure you are fully pulling the knife all the way out of the block to complete the sharpening cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the ZWILLING Pro set is straightforward. Place the ash wood block on a stable, flat surface away from direct heat sources to prevent the wood from warping. When inserting or removing knives, ensure you align them correctly with the slots marked by the pictograms.

Compatibility notes:

Smooth-edge blades: These are compatible with the KIS sharpening slots.
Serrated blades: These must be stored in the non-sharpening slots to avoid damage to the blade or the sharpening mechanism.
Cleaning: Wipe the ash wood block with a damp cloth if necessary, but do not submerge it in water. Always wash the knives by hand using mild detergent and dry them immediately before returning them to the block to prevent moisture build-up inside the slots.
