Knives: Innovations

1. Razor Edge

Following intensive research ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS has developed an innovating honing technique that guarantees an extremely high initial cutting performance. This technique is mainly used for the Asian-style knives (e.g. Santoku knife). After grinding the blade gets a fine-polish treatment to remove even the tiniest burrs.

2. Innovative Scalloped Edge

ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS has further improved the cutting performance of bread and utility knives. The employment of new technology together with a more “aggressive” scalloped edge has achieved a distinctly better cutting performance. The force needed for cutting has been considerably reduced because the scallop has been electrolytically deburred.
