Zwilling Twin 1731 Knife Block, Set of 7

Named for the year of Zwilling's founding in Germany, the Twin 1731 series is a collaboration with internationally acclaimed designer Matteo Thun. Zwilling's 7-piece set includes essential knives — paring, santoku, chef's, bread and carving — along with a stunning vertical block that safely stows the razor-sharp blades while showcasing their beautiful craftsmanship. The precision-forged stainless-steel blades are honed and hand-finished by skilled artisans for maximum sharpness. Their innovative curved bolsters work as an extension of the hand, supporting a professional grip with thumb and index finger on the blade.

• Knives are precision-forged from a single piece of Cronidur 30 high-performance stainless steel.
• Zwilling's Sigmaforge process incorporates the Friodur ice-hardening technique to produce corrosion-resistant blades that are exceptionally hard yet flexible.
• Curved bolster promotes a grip for greater precision, safety and comfort.
• Untreated, oiled ebony wood handles.
• Ash wood block doubles as storage and display.

Additional Information

• Precise lasers ensure blade edge is at optimal cutting angle for maximum sharpness.
• The entire length of the blade can be used for cutting and sharpening, from bolster to tip.
• 60 Rockwell hardness ensures exceptional edge retention.
• Blade edge angle is 12.5 degrees per side.

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 a 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, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
