This ZWILLING 5-inch utility knife is a workhorse in the kitchen – perfect for slicing fruits, veggies, boneless meats, and all sorts of prep tasks. It’s made in Solingen, Germany, from ZWILLING’s special formula stainless steel that’s ice-hardened (FRIODUR) for incredible sharpness and edge retention. The blade has a Rockwell hardness of 57 and is sharpened to a precise 15-degree angle on each side, so it starts razor-sharp and stays that way. The handle is ergonomically shaped from durable polymer and is permanently bonded to a full tang (the steel runs through the entire handle), giving the knife perfect balance and strength. It’s comfortable to hold and reduces hand fatigue. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe for easy cleanup (though hand washing is always recommended to preserve the edge longer). A professional-quality knife that’s built to last a lifetime.
