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.
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.
