• QUALITY
The exclusive composition of ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS steel strikes the perfect balance between chromium and carbon content: the secret to premium-quality steel. Knives bearing the FRIODUR brand are the result of a special cryogenic hardening treatment that enhances their quality. They retain their sharpness exceptionally well, are particularly corrosion-resistant, and flexible.

• FUNCTIONALITY:
The blade is perfectly sharpened along its entire length, allowing you to cut from the tip to the bolster. The type of sharpening meets both European and Japanese cutting traditions.

• PRECISION:
SIGMAFORGE-branded knives are precision-forged from a single piece of steel, ensuring perfect geometry. This is a fundamental requirement for precision sharpening and optimal cutting performance.

• HANDLING:
The wedge-shaped geometry of the blade provides exceptional stability and effortless cutting; the curved shape of the bolster ensures safe and precise use.

• STRENGTH:
A classic for professional kitchens. The 3-rivet design with a seamless tang is synonymous with perfect balance.
