Maintenance of Zwilling knives

Washing and cleaning

Due to the wooden handle, Zwilling Pro Wood knives are recommended to be washed by hand only. Hand washing is gentler on the knives. Wash the knives with lukewarm water and mild detergent with the soft side of a sponge.

Cutting mat

We recommend using a flexible cutting mat (cutting board) - wooden, silicone or plastic. Materials that are too hard such as glass, granite or ceramic can damage the blade and cutting edge in certain circumstances.

Sharpening / grinding

Sooner or later, even the best knife loses its original sharpness and needs to be sharpened. And because a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one, we recommend that you sharpen your knives regularly. If a knife develops a "tooth" or a deformation, we recommend that you get it into the hands of a specialist as soon as possible.
We recommend using genuine Zwilling sharpeners, whetstones and whetstones for sharpening.

Safe storage

Store your knives in a safe place (out of reach of children), always ensuring that the handle, not the blade, is facing you. The knives should not touch each other during storage.
Always store only cleaned and dried knives in the wooden knife block or on the magnetic rail.

The correct knife

Always use the right knife - the size and texture of the ingredients you are processing (meat, vegetables, fish, baked goods) varies greatly, so use specific cutting techniques and therefore a specific knife for each ingredient.
