This kitchen-workhorse utility knife is ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping fruit, vegetables, cheese and more. How it's made: Signature Zwilling craftsmanship marks this knife precision-stamped from a single piece of German steel, resulting in a lighter-weight knife that does not compromise sharpness. It's fitted with an ergonomic, triple-riveted polymer handle that is superbly weighted for easy use. The ice-hardened FRIODUR blade starts sharper, stays sharper longer and has superior resilience.Additional features: The knife is made of proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for over 280 years.

To ensure an ideal cutting angle, the laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp and is honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans.Sizing information: 11.61" x 1.18" x 0.79"; 6.3" blade; 0.17 lb.
