Named for the Japanese word for "connection," the Zwilling Kanren collection celebrates the bond formed while cooking and eating together. Uniting German engineering and Japanese craftsmanship, each 48-layer Damascus-style blade is forged from high-performance carbide stainless steel and hand honed using the three-step Honbazuke process. Triple-riveted Micarta handles feature Zwilling's signature curved bolster, promoting a secure grip and comfortable, fatigue-free cutting.

Includes four of the most commonly used knives, plus shears, a sharpening steel and storage block, making it a perfect starter set.

Use

Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
Sharpen as needed. With regular use and honing once a week, you should not need to sharpen your knife more than once or twice a year.
Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener designed to sharpen between a 9- and 12-degree angle, or have it sharpened by a professional.
Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
