HOW TO SHARPEN KNIVES:
Sharpening knives with a sharpening steel is easier than you think.
1. There are many ways of holding the steel. Simplest of all, position the sharpening steel with its tip pointing down on a flat surface. Throughout the sharpness process, it is important to maintain the correct grinding angle, usually about 15° for European knives and about 10° for Japanese-style knives.
2. Exerting even pressure, draw the knife downwards along the steel in a slightly curved action.
3. Repeat the process on the other side of the steel to sharpen the blade on both sides.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 alternately five to ten times to sharpen the front and rear side of the blade.
5. Use a cloth to clean the sharpened knife and check how successful the sharpening process has been by testing the knife on a tomato or a piece of newspaper.
Please be sure to maintain the 10/15 degree angle from tip to handle over the complete length of the blade. The speed of the process has no impact on the result. Right-handers should hold the steel in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. Lefthanders, obviously, should reverse this.

The history of the brand
It all started on June 13, 1731 in Solingen:
A small craft business registered the ZWILLING brand as a knife maker in what was then a small town. Because the stars are in the sign of Gemini, Peter Henckels has a clear name: ZWILLING. And the stars aligned favorably for the knife maker. Solingen, already known for its blades back then, is still developing into the German "blade city" and the region is becoming one of the world's centers for cutting and steel goods.
ZWILLING expanded internationally as early as the 19th century, became one of the world's largest knife manufacturers and is now sold in over 100 countries. ZWILLING is one of the oldest brands in the world today.
