Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these knives dishwasher safe?
While the materials are high-quality, hand washing is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the sharpened edge and the handle finish.
What is the primary material of the blades?
The blades are made from ZWILLING's special formula stainless steel that is ice-hardened using the FRIODUR process.
Can I use these for boning meat?
No, this set is specifically designed for small tasks like peeling and paring fruits and vegetables, not for heavy-duty tasks like deboning meat.
How long are the blades?
The paring knife features a 9 cm blade, and the accompanying vegetable peeler has a 6.5 cm blade.
What makes the FRIODUR process special?
The FRIODUR process involves extreme ice-hardening, which improves the microstructure of the steel, resulting in a blade that is both harder and more resistant to corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull after repeated use
Use a sharpening steel to realign the edge or perform a professional sharpening if the blade has become significantly blunt.
Visible water spots on the stainless steel
Clean the blade with a soft cloth and a mixture of water and vinegar, then immediately dry it thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your TWIN Grip knives in optimal condition, always wash them by hand using mild dish soap and warm water immediately after use. Avoid letting them soak in the sink or sitting in caustic dish detergents. While the materials are corrosion-resistant, hand drying with a soft cloth prevents water spots and ensures the edge remains pristine. When storing, keep these knives in a drawer organizer or a dedicated knife block to prevent the blades from coming into contact with other metal utensils, which can dull the edge over time. Regular honing is recommended to maintain the edge, though the ice-hardened steel requires less frequent sharpening than standard carbon steel blades.
