Overview
Zwilling forges this paring knife from a single piece of Nitro steel, ice-hardens the blade and sets the edge angle by laser. A curved bolster supports a pinch grip, and a ziricote hardwood handle with natural grain finishes it.
Hard, corrosion-resistant steel and a precise edge make it a lasting tool for detail work. The wood handle looks beautiful but is not described as dishwasher safe.
Who it's for
Serious home cooks doing fine trimming and garnish work get a hard, sharp blade with a pinch-grip bolster. Those who want throw-in-the-dishwasher convenience should choose a synthetic handle.
Pros and cons
- Forged from one piece of steel
- Ice-hardened blade resists chipping

Performance notes
Ice hardening raises blade hardness, which is what slows edge wear and resists chipping. The curved bolster puts the thumb and index finger on the blade for control in small cuts. One-piece forging gives the blade its balance and flex.
