Zwilling Knife Set — Frequently Asked Questions (New Zealand)
Are Zwilling knife sets good for everyday cooking?
Yes. Zwilling sets are built for regular home and professional use — they hold an edge well, feel balanced in the hand and make routine tasks like chopping, slicing and dicing quicker and cleaner. They’re a reliable choice for everyday cooking in New Zealand kitchens.
What makes Zwilling knives different from other brands?
Zwilling blends high-quality stainless steel with precise forging and consistent sharpening. That combination gives stronger blades, good corrosion resistance and consistent cutting performance right out of the box — features that many NZ cooks appreciate while preparing local produce and recipes.
Which Zwilling knife set is best for beginners?
Beginner cooks often find a compact 3- or 4-piece starter set ideal. A good starter set typically includes a chef’s knife, a utility or santoku, and a paring knife — enough to cover most prep tasks without overwhelming someone new to knife care and handling.
Do Zwilling knife sets come sharpened out of the box?
Yes. Zwilling blades are supplied with a factory edge, so they are ready to use immediately for slicing and chopping. You may want to hone them once in your own kitchen to keep that edge aligned.
How often should I sharpen my Zwilling knives?
For typical household use in New Zealand, sharpening every 6–12 months is common. Regular honing (every few weeks, depending on use) helps maintain the edge and reduces how often you need a full sharpen.
Are Zwilling knives dishwasher safe?
Although some models are marketed as dishwasher safe, hand-washing and immediate drying is recommended to protect the blade and handle finish. Hand care helps keep the set looking and performing its best for longer.
What knife set should I choose for a family kitchen?
A 6- or 7-piece Zwilling block set is popular for families — it typically covers chef’s, bread and paring knives plus kitchen shears and a block for safe storage. That range gives flexibility for everyday meals and larger family cooking sessions.
Do Zwilling knife blocks help keep the knives sharp?
Yes. Blocks protect blades from knocks and contact that dull edges. Some Zwilling blocks feature self-sharpening slots which lightly hone the blade each time you remove or replace a knife, helping to maintain the edge between full sharpening sessions.
Where are Zwilling knives made?
Many Zwilling knives are made in Solingen, Germany — a region with a long blade-making history. Some product lines are produced in other European facilities but all adhere to Zwilling’s quality standards.
How long do Zwilling knife sets last?
With correct care — hand washing, proper storage and routine honing — Zwilling knives can last many years, often 10–20 years or more. They’re built to be a long-term kitchen investment.
