The history of the ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS brand starts on June 13, 1731. It was on that day that knife-maker Peter Henckels from Solingen registered the "Twin" symbol as his trademark with the Cutlers Guild of Solingen. This symbol which is now well-known all over the world.
ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality knives. The knowledge and experience of many generations, inventive minds, technological expertise and the teamwork of countless individuals are the driving force behind this status.
There are considerable differences in the quality of knives, starting with the grade of steel. The method of processing raw material is very important as well because it determines the ultimate characteristics of a knife. It is a challenge to be able to offer a suitable and well functioning knife for every purpose.
ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS has the experience and competence of more than 270 years of manufacturing knives of outstanding quality. The shape of the handle determines whether a knife feels comfortable and is easy to use. To a large extent an ergonomically shaped handle fits the natural shape of the hand.
When you pick up a knife you can quickly tell whether it suits you. ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS pays particular attention to combine outstanding design with ergonomic principles. The balance of a knife or the proper distribution of weight between the handle and the blade, plays an important role. To be able to use the knife for a prolonged period of time without causing discomfort or strain, the handle must be well shaped and neatly finished. A well designed handle has a distinct finger guard to give the hand a secure grip. The finger guard is either integrated into the handle or, in the case of top quality knives, designed as a steel part (bolster).
Following the improvements in properties of plastic compound over the years - particularly under hygienic aspects - polypropylene handles have increasingly replaced wooden handles.
