Description The Pro collection by Zwilling J.A. Henckels combines their 280 years of knife-forging experience with the simplistic, yet innovative, design of renowned Italian architect Matteo Thun. An angled bolster helps you cut with enhanced precision, safety and comfort, and encourages a professional “pinch grip." The optimized blade shape reduces hand and wrist stress to prevent fatigue with prolonged use. Using Zwilling’s exclusive Sigmaforge® process, knives are precision-forged from a single piece of Friodur® ice-hardened high-carbon German stainless steel, laser-cut for optimal blade angles and finally polished by hand. This results in a sharper blade with a 57 Rockwell hardness for excellent edge retention and superior resilience. Beautiful, all-new design features an angled bolster that allows the entire length of the blade to be used for chopping, slicing, dicing and more. This unique feature also permits the entire length of the blade to be sharpened from bolster to tip. Dynamic handles feature rounded edges and ultra-ergonomic design to reduce fatigue with extended use. The classic triple-rivet handle has a full tang for impeccable geometry and perfect balance. Exclusive special-formula steel and sturdy polymer handles ensure a lifetime of use. This set of authentic German steak knives is an essential for your place settings. Use these knives for slicing individual servings of meats and roasts. Lifetime warranty. Made in Germany. Features Superb German-Made Cutlery To produce this impeccable collection of cutlery, Zwilling J.A. Henckels enlisted the expertise of renowned Italian architect Matteo Thun to design a knife that is incredibly simple and comfortable to use.
