Zwilling. Swiss precision. Just like their clocks...

Founded in Solingen, Germany, in 1731, Zwilling J.A. Henckels is one of the oldest and most recognised knife makers in the world. Its knives range from traditional German forged designs to increasingly refined, Japanese-influenced profiles.

Zwilling uses several steels across its ranges, including high-carbon stainless formulations such as its proprietary special-formula steel, with premium lines using harder and more specialised steels.

Good Zwilling knives have excellent tapers, thin cutting geometry and strong edge performance. They are easy to maintain at home and come back beautifully when professionally sharpened.
