Zwilling Gourmet 6-piece self-sharpening Knife Block

Keep your knives sharp longer and easier with the self-sharpening Zwilling Gourmet Block!

This block from German brand Zwilling includes 5 knives and 1 pair of multi-purpose scissors. Discover KIS technology, an acronym for "Keep It Sharp". The block features ceramic discs in the smooth knife slots, allowing each knife to be sharpened with every use. As soon as a knife is removed from its slot, it comes out sharper. The discs allow knives to be sharpened at the ideal angle. This increases the duration of the cutting edge over time, lasting 15 times longer.

The block is made of dark ash wood for a natural, traditional and timeless look. On top of the block is a stainless steel protective front, adding a modern touch to its appearance. It's a perfect match for kitchens of all types. An icon next to each slot shows which knife is in which slot, so you can save time when cooking and avoid damaging knives by placing them in the wrong place.

The block contains :

-1 paring knife (10cm): perfect for slicing or peeling small vegetables.

-1 serrated universal knife (13cm): some serrations are sharper than others, for greater efficiency on hard-crusted foods. This knife is also perfect for tomatoes, cheese and sausage.

-1 slicing knife (16cm): the ideal knife for all cuts of meat. It cuts meat effortlessly into strips, slices or chunks.

-1 chef's knife (20cm): the most versatile of all. It's the all-purpose knife for cutting vegetables, fruit, meat and fish, and can be used for most culinary preparations.

-1 bread knife (20cm): an ergonomic, high-quality bread knife for bread, baguettes and brioches. Also perfect for slicing pineapple.

-Zwilling J.A. Henckels scissors: with smooth stainless steel blade, multi-purpose (poultry, chopping herbs, slicing pies, etc.) including nutcracker.

All these knives are part of Zwilling's Gourmet range. By choosing this range, you are opting for reliability. Made in Germany, these knives have a classic, timeless design. They feature three stainless steel rivets for added strength. They are precision forged from a single piece, using the SIGMAFORGE® process.

Knife blades are designed using the FRIODUR® method. This method involves exposing steel to freezing temperatures to produce a blade that is neither too hard nor too flexible. The result is a blade that stands the test of time, resists corrosion and retains its edge very well. The blade extends the full length of the handle.

Handles are made of POM. This material ensures low moisture absorption, greater rigidity and good shock resistance. They have no bolster, allowing the full length of the blade to be used for slicing. This also makes for more hygienic cleaning. The knives are ergonomic, lightweight and therefore easy to use.

For maintenance, we recommend hand-washing the knives with soap and then wiping them with a soft cloth. Dishwashing is possible, depending on the manufacturer, but a gentler wash followed by immediate drying will keep your knives in good condition longer.
