Zwilling Four Star Knife Block

This set prioritizes sustainability by using a low-CO2 emission manufacturing process for the blades and handles crafted from over 75% recycled polypropylene. Despite the eco-conscious materials, you still get the signature Sigmaforge precision and FRIODUR ice-hardened durability found in traditional Zwilling knives.

While the knives are technically dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand-washing them. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blades and degrade the recycled handle material over time.
