Must-Have Top Quality Knives

Zwilling J.A. Henckels knives are must-haves in terms of quality and range of styles. There are a few essentials every home requires. Shop now to select excellent ones for your home.

• A chef's knife is a basic for almost everyone. With a medium-sized blade and balanced handle of about the same length or a little shorter, this knife handles meat, veggies, fruit and herbs or garlic.
• A paring knife takes care of the smaller ingredients. This is an easier knife to use on your herbs. It makes short work of fruit or anything you might peel in hand, like a potato or cucumber.
• Bread knives are required if you love fresh whole loaves, bake pan loaves at home or craft sandwiches piled high with meats, cheese or vegetables.
