Zwilling J.A. Henckels

Why choose Zwilling

Top-quality steel

We already mentioned it briefly before: the Zwilling Friodur technique. For this patented technique the steel is first heated and then cooled to -70°C. As such the steel is rock-solid and corrosion resistant. As such it is even more stainless than standard types of steel. Fortunately, it is still easy to sharpen. Cool!

Wide range of products

Everyone can own a Zwilling product. The Zwilling range contains simple kitchen knives for daily use, but also high-end knives for professional chefs. There is a knife collection for every price range, so also for you! Which Zwilling collection will you choose?

History of Zwilling

Zwilling was founded in 1731 by Peter Henckels. As such it has been around for almost 300 years! The company started with the production of top-quality knives and a multi-functional pair of scissors. From those products Zwilling grew out to become the company it is today. In those 300 years Zwilling won multiple awards on world fairs and opened a store in New York in 1883. It is therefore not surprising at all that they are so popular, they simply produce amazing products. From the small city of Solingen to Berlin, New York and Shanghai. Peter Henckels probably never knew what his company would grow out to become when he registered his trademark. But he laid the foundation for something amazing!
