ZWILLING 38430-002-0 Household Knife

The ZWILLING 38430-002-0 domestic kitchen knife is designed for everyday cutting tasks in the home kitchen. The blade is made from high-carbon stainless steel, combining toughness with corrosion resistance to provide precise slicing, dicing and chopping. The knife features an ergonomic three-rivet handle in ABS plastic that is shaped for a secure, comfortable grip. The blade is finished with a smooth cutting edge and a sharpened back for reliable performance; two-stage V-Edge honing ensures sustained sharpness and cutting efficiency.

Advantages

The single-piece forged construction provides consistent blade strength and edge retention, while the high-carbon stainless steel offers improved corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The two-stage V-Edge sharpening delivers a sharp initial edge and prolonged cutting performance without frequent re-sharpening. The ergonomically shaped ABS handle with classic three-rivet design ensures a stable hold and impact-resistant durability for regular kitchen use.

Suitable for

• Slicing cooked and grilled meats such as steaks and escalope
• Cutting roasted or pan-fried dishes
• Daily vegetable and fruit preparation
• Home meal preparation and portioning

Key specifications

• Blade material: high-carbon stainless steel
• Edge type: two-stage V-Edge honing
• Construction: forged from a single piece of steel (SIGMAFORGE style)
• Handle material: ABS plastic with three-rivet design
• Handle characteristics: ergonomically shaped, impact-resistant

How to use

Hold the knife by the ergonomic handle with a secure grip and position the blade for clean, controlled strokes. Use the tip for precision cuts, the middle section for slicing and the heel for heavier chopping. Apply even pressure and let the blade do the work rather than forcing cuts. After use, clean the knife by hand with mild detergent and dry immediately to maintain edge quality and corrosion resistance.

Recommendations

For best results, use the knife for its intended kitchen tasks—slicing meats, cutting pan-fried or grilled foods and general food preparation. Store the knife in a block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge, and periodically maintain the V-Edge with professional honing or sharpening services as needed to preserve cutting performance.
