Zwilling Professional S Knife Block

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel and the handle rivets, we strongly recommend hand washing and drying them immediately after use.

A full tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This construction provides superior balance, stability, and durability, making the knife feel like a natural extension of your hand while you cut.

The set includes a honing steel, which should be used regularly to realign the blade edge and keep it performing at its best. For long-term maintenance, you may eventually need to have them professionally sharpened or use a high-quality sharpening stone.

The Fridour ice-hardening process improves the molecular structure of the steel. This results in a blade that is significantly more resistant to corrosion and holds its sharp edge much longer than standard stainless steel.

The block is designed with specific slots for the included set, which holds nine knives plus the honing steel. Because the slots are custom-sized for these specific blades, there is limited room for additional knives.

Yes, the triple-riveted, contoured handles are designed for an ergonomic grip that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes. The shape provides a secure, balanced hold regardless of your grip style.
