Description
The ZWILLING Diplome knife series was developed in collaboration with the world-famous Le Cordon Bleu culinary institute to train top chefs. As first-class cutting implements are prerequisite for first-class work in the kitchen, the knives have a Japanese cutting edge to meet the highest demands. The blade with its Honbazuke edge is made of a very hard FC61 steel, while the easy-care plastic handle seamlessly joins the blade. The traditional 3-rivet design literally gives the knives the finishing touch. The ZWILLING Diplome Le Cordon Bleu knife series features knives crafted by the ZWILLING Seki, Japan factory, combining German technology and manufacturing expertise with Japanese blade craftsmanship and its technical ingenuity.
A smaller version of the chef's knife with a more compact handle and shorter blade, suitable for general purpose use including the preparation of meat, fish and smaller vegetables. A lighter weight alternative to the standard 20cm chef's knife.
- Fine Carbide FC61 steel construction
- Fully exposed tang
- Authentic Japanese blade profile
- Ergonomic three-rivet handle with seamless bolster
- Symmetrical cutting edge for right and left handed use
- Honbazuke honed edge for exceptional sharpness
- Hand wash only
- Made in Seki, Japan
Past Prepared Us For the Future
In 1731 Peter Henckels registered the ZWILLING trademark with the Cutler’s Guild of Solingen, Germany. A brilliant idea indeed because that makes ZWILLING one of the oldest brands in the world & Germans are well known for their love of traditions. We have a 288-year-old brand history that we are eager to share with everyone & we are a modern, forward-thinking company that is all about future cooking trends & technologies.
CHOOSE ONLY THE BEST INGREDIENTS
Every great recipe starts with great ingredients. When it comes to our high-quality knives and cookware it is our ZWILLING special formula steel. It’s called “ZWILLING Sonderschmelze” and features an impressively well-balanced combination of chrome and carbon, which is the secret to producing a steel of supreme quality. Our master bladesmiths train for 8 years before they get their hands on our knives.
Heat it up
Forging is at the heart of the production of knives. The knife is given its shape by the use of temperature and force under extreme conditions. SIGMAFORGE knives are precision-forged from a single piece of steel. The result is a perfect geometry and we always strive for perfection when it comes to our knives. When you hold a ZWILLING product, you can be sure you are holding a piece of history.
Cool It Down
We have optimized the hardening process to obtain the optimum degree of hardness – because the right hardness is simply everything. If the steel is too soft, the knife will become blunt. If it too hard, it will break. Our special ice-hardening process guarantees flexible FRIODUR blades with extremely good cutting edge retention and exceptional corrosion resistance.
