ZWILLING Gourmet is the go-to knife for home chefs eager for their everyday knife to be exceptional. Featuring a traditional, triple-rivet design with a sturdy, balanced feel in the hand, this 3-piece set of essential kitchen workhorses designed for slicing, chopping and dicing is well-made, reliable, and made for long-lasting use.

This 3-piece starter set features the backbone of all knife collections: The chef’s knife.

The knives are precision stamped from a single piece of special formula German steel, resulting in lighter weight knives for maximum maneuverability. Combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, the blades are harder, sharper, and they retain their sharpness longer. The ergonomic, triple-rivet handle with a laser inscribed ZWILLING logo ensures fatigue-free cutting.

Reviews & Questions
ZWILLING Gourmet 3-pcs_3-pc 3-pc, Starter Knife Set no-color is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 48.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sharp and Comfortable Set This 3 piece knife set arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. The blades are crafted from German stainless steel and they are VERY SHARP right out of the box. I sliced a cucumber so thin I could actualy read the logo on the knife through it, pretty impressive. The knives are not too heavy in hand which makes them really comfortable to use for longer prep. The balance feels right and the handles fit nice in the grip. The triple rivet design with Emerils logo adds a touch of style too. They are dishwasher safe but I personaly prefer to wash by hand to keep them in top shape. Overall a great starter set that feels professional without being overwhelming.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Never received them I never got it, was supposed to be a Christmas gift, a bit disappointed as you can imagine. This morning's latest suggestion from support is to go to the authorities to get help in regards to the missing package. Like I should walk up to the police station asking them to find me my knives? I am over this guys... whatever

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Hard to review products you never received I ordered this (along with other Zwilling products) as a present for my daughter. I relied on the information on the website to ensure that i ordered well ahead to receive it in time. I received an update telling my that my order was delayed. It gave no details about status or when I should expect it. I wrote the following response to 'stephanie' Thank you for the update. Though I am disappointed, since the site said 6 days... and from where we stand it hasn't shipped yet. I usually get presents from Made In (who are very quick and precise over the years), but i figured I'd give Zwilling a try. This was my first attempt, and I'm sad, because I always felt your products were great. But it doesn't matter how good they are if they don't arrive in time. But then I realized that I can't reply to the email. Which further upset me. Having waited so long before I even received this generic and frustrating email, I had wasted so much time that I am no longer in a position to correct my mistake by ordering from Made In or Whusthof. I feel that while zwilling products may be good, the customer service makes it hard to rely on them. I feel that I should be sharing with others so that they can make more informed decisions when purchasing presents. Zwilling seems to have no serious customer service beyond polite generic emails with no details, updates or any way of making up for their incompetence. Sadly if this rating is posted, they'll post a generic response with no intention of correction of making up for the trouble they caused. Ive used Made In as a source for presents (and for myself) and theyve been great

If I purchase your knives, how do I get them sharpened

Asked by: Carole Anne
Thank you for your question! If you purchase the Zwilling Gourmet 3-pc Starter Knife Set, you can keep your knives sharp in a couple of ways. For your fine-edged knives, you can use a sharpener, such as the Zwilling Four-Stage Knife Sharpener with Shear Sharpener, or a honing steel at a 15-degree angle to maintain the edge. For the serrated knife, professional sharpening is typically recommended. Another option is our Knife Aid service, a professional mail-in program designed to restore and maintain razor-sharp edges on kitchen knives and scissors. For more details on Knife Aid, including how to send in your knives, pricing, and turnaround time, please contact our customer service team at hello@zwillingus.com. Our team will be happy to guide you through the process.

Are these knives "full tang"?. Also, why is it recommended they be handwashed instead of the dishwasher?

Asked by: stefnyjane
Hi. Thank you for your question! The Zwilling Gourmet 3-pc Starter Knife Set features a traditional triple-rivet handle with a full tang that provides maximum comfort and stability while cutting. As for why handwashing is recommended, dishwashers can expose knives to harsh detergents and high heat, which may affect the blade over time and potentially damage the handle. Handwashing with mild soap and drying immediately helps preserve the quality and longevity of the knives. We hope this answers your questions!
