Zwilling Kanren Steak Knives, Set of 4

Summary

Named for the Japanese word for "connection," the Zwilling Kanren collection celebrates the bond formed while cooking and eating together.

Triple-riveted Micarta handles feature Zwilling's signature curved bolster, promoting a secure grip and comfortable, fatigue-free cutting.

Use & Care

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
• Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, you should not need to sharpen your knife more than once or twice a year.
• Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen between 9- and 12-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
