Zwilling Pro is designed by architect and designer Matteo Thun, offering beauty and function with a classic design. The wedge-shaped blade and half bolster allows you to cut along the entire length of the blade. The unique curved bolster supports your thumb for extra grip, comfort, control and safety. This entire collection features precision forged knives made from a single piece of Zwilling exclusive high carbon stainless steel. As a result, the knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. In addition, the steel blade goes through a special ice-hardening process called Friodur. This process changes the molecular structure of the steel improving the cutting properties providing a remarkably sharp blade and ensures a long lasting cutting edge. Each knife is hand sharpened, polished and laser controlled to assure the cutting edge is accurate along the full length of the blade. The blade is enhanced with a traditional 3-riveted resin handle.<br /><br />The Zwilling Pro Self-Sharpening Knife Block is stocked with all you need to slice, sharpen, and store. Its self-sharpening slots boast built-in ceramic honing wheels that automatically sharpen each time a knife is removed or replaced. This technology ensures your knives are always ready for precision prep work. Fully-loaded with 4 essential knives, shears, and a cutting board, this block sets you up to tackle your everyday kitchen tasks with ease.
