FAQs
Are these knives forged or stamped?
These knives are precision-forged from a single piece of steel using SIGMAFORGE technology.
Can I put these knives in the dishwasher?
While the manufacturer states they are dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended to maintain the edge retention and handle appearance.
What is the angle of the blade?
The blades are finished with V-Edge technology to a 15-degree angle per side.
Where are these knives manufactured?
The Professional S series is crafted in Germany.
Does the set come with a warranty?
Yes, ZWILLING provides a lifetime warranty against defects in material and craftsmanship.
What is the purpose of the bolster?
The bolster acts as a finger guard and provides balance, ensuring a smooth transition from the handle to the blade for better control.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull
Use a honing steel to realign the blade edge. If the knife still does not cut effectively, it may need professional sharpening to restore the 15-degree V-Edge.
Surface spots appearing on blade
These are likely mineral deposits or surface stains from water. Gently scrub with a non-abrasive sponge and dish soap, then dry thoroughly immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Initial Setup: Your knives arrive sharp and ready for use. No pre-treatment is required.
- Cleaning: While the series is rated as dishwasher safe, frequent high-heat dishwashing cycles can eventually dull the edge and degrade the handle materials. It is strongly recommended to wash by hand with warm water and mild dish soap, followed by an immediate towel dry.
- Storage: Store knives in a wooden block, on a magnetic strip, or with blade guards. Avoid storing them loose in a drawer with other metal utensils, which can chip or dull the blades.
- Maintenance: Periodically use a honing steel to realign the edge of the blade, which will prolong the time between professional sharpenings.
