FAQ
What knives come in the 7-piece block set?
It's a Zwilling Twin Four Star II kitchen block combining the everyday knives — typically chef or santoku, paring knife, a utility knife — plus a honing steel and shears, all in a wooden block. The idea is to cover 90% of kitchen cuts in a single purchase with Zwilling's German steel. For boning or thin ham slicing you still need dedicated pieces.
How does Zwilling steel compare to a Japanese knife?
Zwilling's German steel is a touch softer than a very hard Japanese one like the Global G-2: it loses its edge a little sooner but is more robust, forgives rough handling better and realigns daily on a steel. It's the European philosophy — a reliable workhorse — versus the Japanese finer, more delicate edge. For a family kitchen that won't baby the steel, it fits perfectly.
Can the block's knives go in the dishwasher?
Better not. Although the stainless steel can take it, the dishwasher dulls the edge prematurely and can damage the shears and steel. Hand-wash, dry and back in the block: that keeps the whole set going for years. The steel in the set also works to maintain the rest of your kitchen knives.
