Bread buff.
The Zwilling Pro’s serrated blade is unique in its design, guaranteeing a slice with less tearing, and less crumbs. The blade is scalloped resulting in longer teeth that take the brunt of the cutting board, keeping the shorter teeth protected so they’ll stay sharper longer. Designed in Italy and made in Germany, with over 280 years of experience behind it, Zwilling’s cutlery is top-quality and timeless. The name “Z15” is indicative of the thought that went into the knife—the masters at Zwilling went through 15 versions before they perfected it! We’re using this knife to slice easily through other foods with tough exteriors and soft interiors, like tomatoes and sausages. The blade is finished off with a curved bolster for both comfort and a safe grip.
