- Is this knife good for bones or frozen food?
- No. The steel is hard and thin, so it chips on bones, frozen food and hard squash. Use a cleaver or a softer knife for those jobs.
- Does it need special care?
- Hand wash and dry it right away, and store it on a magnetic strip or in a block. Do not put it in the dishwasher.
- How does it compare with Zwilling's German knives?
- It is harder and thinner than the Pro or Four Star lines, so it takes a keener edge and holds it longer, but it is less forgiving of rough use.
- What is the blade made of?
- SG-2 powder steel at about 64 HRC, clad in a Damascus pattern, made in Japan.
- What is in the box?
- The 7.87-inch chef's knife. No sharpening steel or block is included.
- Is it worth it over a cheaper chef's knife?
- If you want edge retention and Damascus looks and will care for a hard blade, yes. If you want a knock-around knife, a softer steel costs less and takes more abuse.
