This Zwilling Pro Slicing Knife 26cm has a slim but strong blade with a fine edge, making it ideal for slicing meat and carving roasts. The full tang provides excellent balance and the curved bolster on the heel of the blade ensures a comfortable and safe grip, as it prevents your hand from riding up the blade when you are using it. 

 

The kitchen knives from the Zwilling Pro collection are enhanced with a blade that is forged from one piece of steel. The full tang blade seamlessly merges with the plastic handle. The handle is secured to the steel with three rivets. The transition between the handle and steel is seamless. No dirt can accumulate in between.

Friodur steel chef's knife

The blade is made from ice-hardened Friodur steel. During this process the steel is heated in 4 stages to 1000°C and cooled to -70°C. Zwilling perfected this technique, which guarantees optimum sharpness, elasticity and corrosion resistance. The knife is sharpened in five steps and the result is a perfectly sharpened knife. The crop of the knife does not extend to the edge of the blade to make sure you can easily sharpen it on a sharpening stone.

Are the kitchen knives dishwasher safe?

Thanks to the seamless construction and the materials used, knives from the Zwilling Pro collection are dishwasher proof. We do, however, advise against it. Most types of detergent are too aggressive. In addition, it is possible that the knife could come into contact with other hard items in the dishwasher, which could damage the edge and wear out the knife.
