Knife set ZWILLING 39160-000-0 — 4-piece stainless steel blades with wooden handles, includes 10 cm steak knives

The ZWILLING 4-piece knife set combines a traditional steak-knife silhouette with modern steel and ergonomic wooden handles. Each knife has a 10 cm stainless steel blade designed for table use and everyday kitchen cutting tasks, while the three-rivet wooden grips provide a classic look and comfortable hold.

Advantages

The set pairs nitrogen-enhanced nitro-steel blades with a precise V-edge created in a two-stage sharpening process, resulting in a fine, symmetrical edge at approximately 15° per side. The three-part construction with exposed tang and riveted wooden handles offers durability and a familiar, balanced feel for slicing at the table. The absence of a bolster allows for a full grip along the handle and blade junction.

Suitable for

• Serving and slicing steaks and other meats at the dining table
• Everyday kitchen tasks that require precise, short-blade control
• Households seeking a classic-looking set with wooden handles

When it may not be suitable

This set is focused on table and light kitchen use; it is not intended for heavy-duty butchery or tasks that require long blades. Wooden handles require careful drying and are not ideal for frequent dishwasher use, so they may be less suitable for users who prefer low-maintenance, dishwasher-safe utensils.

• Number of pieces: 4 steak knives
• Blade material: stainless steel with nitrogen-enriched nitro-steel technology
• Blade length: 10 cm (per knife)

How to use

Use the 10 cm steak knives for slicing cooked meats, cutting portions at the table and for short precise kitchen tasks. Hold the knife with a comfortable grip on the wooden handle and use controlled, smooth strokes to preserve the edge. After use, wash by hand with mild detergent, dry immediately and store in a dry place to protect the wooden handles and steel blades.

What to consider before purchase

• Wooden handles require hand washing and immediate drying; not dishwasher-safe
• Designed for table and household cutting tasks rather than industrial or heavy butchery use
• Blade length of 10 cm is suited to portioning and table service rather than long slicing jobs

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, sharpen the V-edge as needed using a suitable fine ceramic or whetstone system and store the knives in a block or on a magnetic rack to prevent contact with other cutlery.
