Zwilling Pro Vegetable Starter Knives, Set of 2

Summary

Zwilling Pro knives offer the ultimate in comfort, security and handling. Each one is precision forged using the company's Sigmaforge process, resulting in an exceptionally hard yet flexible blade. Special arched bolsters designed by architect Matteo Thun promote the perfect thumb grip, while contoured ergonomic handles provide comfort and control. This set includes a paring knife and a santoku. The paring knife has a pointed blade that excels at peeling and trimming fruit and vegetables. The Japanese equivalent of a chef's knife, the santoku has a hollow-ground blade that reduces friction and sticking.

Use & Care

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal and 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.
• Use honing steel regularly to maintain cutting edges of blades.
• Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing, knives should not need sharpening more than once or twice per year.
• Sharpen knives at home using whetstone or knife sharpener, or have them sharpened by a professional.
• Store knives in safe place to protect edges and prevent injury.
