FAQs

Is this knife dishwasher safe?

No, it is highly recommended to hand-wash and dry your ZWILLING Pro knife to preserve the handle and edge quality.

What is the edge angle of this knife?

The blade features a 15-degree angle per side, totaling 30 degrees for the complete cutting edge.

What does the Pro bolster do?

The angled bolster guides the fingers into a professional pinch grip, which offers better control and reduces hand fatigue.

Where is this knife made?

The ZWILLING Pro 12 cm steak knife is precision manufactured in Germany.

How often should I sharpen my knife?

You should hone the blade regularly to keep it aligned. Professional sharpening is recommended annually depending on frequency of use.

Can I use this knife on a glass cutting board?

No, glass or stone surfaces are too hard and will cause the blade to dull almost instantly.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels dull during use

Use a honing steel to realign the edge of the blade, or have the knife professionally sharpened to restore the 15-degree V-edge.

Spots appear on the blade surface

These are likely water spots or mineral deposits; clean the blade with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and dry thoroughly.

Handle feels loose

Avoid soaking the knife, as moisture can affect the handle material. If rivets become loose, contact ZWILLING customer support for professional maintenance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cutting precision due to the 15-degree V-edge
  • Balanced design promotes safe and comfortable handling
  • Highly resistant to corrosion and dulling thanks to ice-hardening
  • Ergonomic bolster facilitates a professional pinch grip

Cons

  • Not dishwasher safe
  • Requires professional sharpening to maintain the specific V-edge angle
  • Higher price point compared to stamped or generic steak knives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your ZWILLING Pro knife, avoid using glass or stone cutting boards, as these can dull the blade prematurely; wooden or synthetic boards are recommended. Always hand-wash the knife with warm water and a mild detergent immediately after use, drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. While the knife is compatible with most standard knife blocks, using a magnetic strip or an in-drawer knife organizer is recommended to protect the cutting edge from accidental contact with other utensils. Periodic honing with a honing steel will keep the blade edge aligned between professional sharpenings.
