Many cooks reach for it more than their full-size chef’s knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpectrum is forged in Germany from a single piece of Zwilling’s special formula RCF steel, which Zwilling says carries a 50% lower CO₂ footprint than its previous knife steel. The SIGMAFORGE blade is FRIODUR ice-hardened to 55–58 HRC and precision-honed to 12.5° per side, the sharpest edge Zwilling has put on a German knife. A curved bolster supports a proper pinch grip, and the textured jute Micarta handle is triple-riveted and finished with a stainless steel end cap that sets the balance point right where your hand wants it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse \u0026amp; care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash in warm soapy water and dry straight away; the dishwasher dulls edges and is hard on any handle. Hone regularly with a steel and sharpen on a whetstone or a sharpener set to 12.5° per side, not the 15–20° of most pull-through sharpeners. Use a wood or plastic board, never glass or stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zwilling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42878176198738,"sku":"1033080","price":229.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1649\/8147\/files\/1033080_ZWILLING_Spectrum_5_5inPrepKnife_01.jpg?v=1793908445","url":"https:\/\/kitchenvirtue.com\/products\/zwilling-spectrum-chefs-knife-compact-5-5-inch","provider":"KitchenVirtue.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
