Troubleshooting

Use a sharpening steel regularly to realign the edge, or schedule a professional sharpening service if the blade has lost its factory edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Zwilling Pro knife in optimal condition, always use a wooden or plastic cutting board rather than glass or stone, which can dull the blade instantly. After use, wash the blade immediately with warm water and mild soap, then dry it completely with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking the handle in water, as this can cause the rivets to loosen over time. While the knife is technically compatible with dishwashers, high temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the handle and dull the blade edge prematurely. We recommend storing the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to prevent the edge from hitting other metal utensils.
