275 years of tradition and experience have made Zwilling J.A. Henckels® a household name. They are the world´s leading manufacturer of high quality knives and high performance cookware. Since the beginning, J.A. Henckels has had one focus — innovative technology to manufacture products and services of the highest quality.

At the same time, knife-maker Peter Henckels registered the “TWIN” symbol as his trademark. Even today, Henckels products and the “TWIN” symbol are globally recognized for the highest possible quality and function. Each Henckel knife is made from high quality steel. They understand that the processing of raw materials is very important because it determines the ultimate characteristics of a knife. Careful thought also goes into the crafting each knife part: the blade, tip, profile and tang to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

After recognizing a need in the marketplace for quality cookware and carefully listening to their customers, Zwilling J.A. Henckels saw a need to grow their product line. In 1895, J.A. Henckels International was born. Their brand has represented the best German steel design. This vast collection includes: Forged, Stamped and ‘Never Needs Sharpening’ cutlery, Flatware, Scissors, Shears and Classic Clad Cookware. Zappos and J.A. Henckels have come together to provide you with a one-stop shop for all your Henckel needs.
