Zwilling Gourmet SharpBlock, 7-piece knife set, grey

With this Zwilling Gourmet Gray 7-piece knife set you can quickly get to work. The knife set consists of five kitchen knives, scissors and a knife block to store these products. The SharpBlock knife block is remarkable: it is enhanced with the so-called KIS technology. This means that three of the six slots(for the smooth-cut blades) are equipped with small ceramic sharpening stones, positioned in the ideal sharpening angle. Every time you replace or remove a knife, your knife is being sharpened. The icons with each slot are very practical. They clearly show which knife belongs in which slot. Can’t go wrong!

Zwilling Gourmet: classic, reliable kitchen knives

Each knife from the Gourmet collection is forged from one piece of steel. Stainless and Friodur ice-hardened, as we often see with kitchen knives from Zwilling. During this special process, the steel is subjected to extreme temperatures in several steps. Afterwards, each knife is sharpened with laser precision. An excellent combination that ensures that the sharpness, sustainability, corrosion resistance and sharpness retention are extremely good.

The blade seamlessly merges with the handle: the knives have a full-tang construction. There is no bolster, so you can use the entire blade as you use the knife. This also makes every knife lighter, easier to manoeuvre and more convenient to sharpen on a sharpening stone. The handle is made of POM. Secured with three rivets. Classic but effective. Every knife is nicely balanced and feels comfortable in hand.

Thanks to the materials used, the Zwilling Gourmet knives are dishwasher proof. However, we recommend cleaning the knives by hand. After all, if you wash them by hand the knives do not suffer from the detergent and the inevitable bumpy ride in a dishwasher. Washing them by hand keeps your knives sharp for a longer time.

Differences between Gourmet and Twin Gourmet

The Zwilling Gourmet collection looks a lot like the Twin Gourmet collection. The same timeless, classic design with the three rivets. The same Friodur-ice hardened blade without crop. But there are some differences. The main difference is the Zwilling logo in the middle of the three rivets of the Gourmet series. The biggest difference can be found in where the blades are made. While the Twin Gourmet knives were produced in Spain, the Gourmet knives come from Germany.
