The company that manufactures Henckels kitchen knives also owns Zwilling, creating some confusion among buyers. Both brands belong to their parent company but have subtle distinctions which might make one brand better than another for certain buyers.
One major distinction is price. Due to Zwilling products featuring more luxurious materials and craftsmanship, their prices tend to be higher than Henckels; sometimes this difference can even be more striking; many Zwilling knife sets costing several hundred dollars while Henckels sets are offered at under $200.
Some people also find the designs of Henckels and Zwilling to be distinct, with Henckels emphasizing functionality and simplicity while Zwilling provides more elegance, variety, and features in their designs. A perfect example is Zwilling’s Demeyere line designed specifically to meet professional chefs’ demanding standards – another stark difference.
Zwilling cookware, knives and accessories are manufactured around the world in China, Germany, Japan, Spain, Italy and Poland – from China through Germany to Japan via Seki in Japan known for producing knives with exceptional sharpness using honbazuke (hand grinding coarsely before fine honing on a whetstone and finally polishing with leather belt).
Zwilling customers can earn points when making purchases online or at its stores, though those looking for deals should keep an eye out in its clearance section. Items that have been discontinued will sometimes make their way there before making another appearance back on the main site; additionally, Zwilling posts updates via social media about new products and sales as well. Customers should reach out to customer service with any questions about their account or needing help placing an order.
