FAQs
Are these knives dishwasher safe?
While technically dishwasher safe, hand washing is strictly recommended to preserve the edge quality and handle integrity over the lifetime of the set.
What is the benefit of the ZWILLING Pro bolster?
The curved bolster is designed to support a professional pinch grip, which provides better control, precision, and comfort during food preparation.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
The ZWILLING lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal household use and proper care.
Can I use these knives on any cutting board?
For best performance, use wooden or plastic cutting boards. Avoid glass, ceramic, or stone boards as they will dull the fine-edged blades rapidly.
What is the angle of the blade edge?
The ZWILLING Pro series features a 15-degree V-Edge on each side of the blade, optimized for clean and efficient cutting.
Where are these knives manufactured?
The ZWILLING Pro series is manufactured in Germany, upholding high standards of quality and engineering.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull after several uses
Use a high-quality honing steel to realign the edge; frequent honing is recommended to maintain the 15-degree sharpness.
Stains appearing on the blade surface
While highly corrosion-resistant, ensure the blade is washed and dried immediately after use, especially after cutting acidic foods like citrus or onions.
Handle feels loose or shows gaps
Avoid dishwasher cleaning, as extreme heat and moisture can cause wood to expand and contract; if issues persist, contact ZWILLING for warranty support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ZWILLING Pro knives remain in peak condition, store them in the included bamboo block immediately after drying to avoid edge dulling from drawer contact. While the knives are forged to be durable, avoid using them on glass or stone cutting boards, as these surfaces can damage the precision-honed edges; wooden or high-quality plastic boards are recommended. Although the manufacturing process allows for dishwasher use, it is strongly advised to hand wash the knives with a mild detergent and dry them immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking the handles in water to protect the integrity of the riveted wood construction. Periodically use a sharpening steel or honing rod to realign the 15-degree V-Edge and maintain consistent cutting performance.
