Zwilling J.A. Henckels Solingen is a name synonymous to superior cutlery from Germany. The company was established by Johann Henkels in 1731. Since then, Zwilling has never ceased to develop innovative manufacturing techniques and new materials to set their products apart from others.

LANDMARK DEVELOPMENTS:

Ice Hardening or "Friodur"
A tempering process which makes the steel used in kives and scissors very hard. The increase in hardness results in a sharper and longer lasting edge.

Sinter Metal Component Technology (SCT)
This method of manufacturing uses 3 different types of metal in 1 knife. This ensures that each part of the knife uses the most suitable steel for its purpose; no compromise. The result is a sharper and more corrosion-resistant knife.

High Carbon Stainless Steel
This is a special alloy developed by Zwilling. It also improves sharpness and edge retention.

Micro Serrations
Some models of scissors come with micro serrations (small teeth) which increase the scissors cutting ability and prevents the object to be cut from slipping.

Ergonomic Knife Handles
Flagship knife models such as the "Twinstar" and "5 Star" employs ergonomically shaped handles. Independent lab tests show that it significantly reduces hand fatigue and knife slippage.
