The Zwilling J.A. Henckels Diplome Chef's Knife is designed for chopping, mincing, slicing, and dicing. The Zwilling J.A. Henckels Diplome series was developed in collaboration with the world-famous Le Cordon Bleu culinary institute to train top chefs. As first-class cutting implements are prerequisite for first-class work in the kitchen, the knives have a Japanese cutting edge to meet the highest demands. The blade with its Honbazuke edge is made of a very hard FC61 stainless steel, while the easy-care durable polymer resin handle seamlessly joins the blade. The traditional 3-rivet design literally gives the knives the finishing touch. The Zwilling J.A. Henckels Diplome - Le Cordon Bleu knife series features knives crafted by the Zwilling Seki factory combining German technology and manufacturing expertise with Japanese blade craftsmanship and its technical ingenuity.
