Buy ZWILLING chef's knives directly from a specialist shop in Solingen.
The history of the ZWILLING brand begins on 13 June 1731 (in the zodiac sign of ZWILLING), when the Solingen knifemaker Peter Henckels registers the now world-famous ZWILLING as a trademark in the Solingen Knifemakers' Roll. ZWILLING is therefore one of the oldest trade marks in the world. A descendant of Peter Henckels, Johann Abraham Henckels, gave the company its present name. ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS. The quality of a knife is significantly influenced by the quality of the steel. The most important characteristics of the steel used in blade production are rust resistance and hardness. Both are achieved through the appropriate chemical composition and the correct heat treatment.
The expertise of the cutlery manufacturer Zwilling is demonstrated in the selection of the optimum steel grade, which must be tailored to the respective application. ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS has acquired this experience in its long tradition as a cutlery manufacturer and in the past also as a steel producer.
