ZWILLING Pro Steak Knife

No, these knives should be hand washed only. Dishwashers can damage the blade edge and the handle material over time, so hand washing is recommended to maintain their performance and longevity.

The angled bolster is designed to support a professional pinch grip, which allows for better control and precision while cutting. It also helps reduce hand fatigue during use by promoting a more natural, ergonomic hand position.

These knives feature a straight edge. A straight edge provides a cleaner, smoother cut through meat compared to serrated blades, which can sometimes tear the fibers of the protein.

Full-tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand.

While the ice-hardened steel is designed for lasting sharpness, you should occasionally use a honing steel to realign the edge. When the blade eventually dulls, it can be professionally sharpened or maintained with a high-quality sharpening stone.
