A precise knife for clean cuts
The Zwilling Gourmet 16cm slicing knife is ideal for precise slicing of roast meats, poultry or hams. Thanks to its lightness and perfect balance, it allows you to make thin, even slices, while preserving the texture of your food. Designed in the workshops of Solingen, Germany's cutlery capital, it benefits from Zwilling's special steel and historic know-how.
A long, thin blade for optimal cutting
The Gourmet forged slicing knife is equipped with a 16cm straight blade in Zwilling special formula stainless steel, an alloy enriched with chromium and carbon that offers good resistance to corrosion and wear. The blade benefits from FRIODUR® heat treatment, a cryogenic hardening process that raises its hardness to nearly 57 HRC, guaranteeing a long-lasting, easy-to-maintain cutting edge.
Its V-edge cutting edge, obtained by laser sharpening, optimizes the cutting angle to deliver a smooth, clean cut, ideal for thin slices.
A comfortable, solid riveted handle
The Zwilling slicing knife has an 11.5cm handle made of high-density black ABS, resistant to humidity and temperature variations. It is ideal for use in the kitchen. The polymer inserts are securely fastened to the tang by 3 stainless steel rivets, providing stability and durability.
Its Western shape with curved heel ensures a natural, secure grip, even during long cutting sessions.
