Customer Review: One Great Knife!
Summary: 5 Stars
This knife is one of the best knives I 've ever used. I have been a cook in the restaurant industry for 3 years now, and this is the knife I go for everytime I cook at home. It is well balanced, so it is very easy to handle. It fits well in your hand, and doesn't slip around. It is especially great for chopping and slicing. I just wish I had gotten mine at such a great price! This truly is a must have for any aspiring chef.
Description of Henckels Twin Select 6 in. Chef's - Wide Blade Knife
Distinguished by 18/10 stainless-steel, satin-finish handles, Twin Select knives embody Henckels's world-renowned craftsmanship. Henckels uses a high-tech welding process to form the knives in its first-rate cutlery lines. This process combines three types of high-carbon stainless steel into a single piece so that each part of a knife--blade, bolster, and tang--performs optimally. With a broad blade and curved edge for rocking through a chopping or mincing task, this 6-inch chef's knife suits small-handed cooks. (Others might prefer an 8- or 10-inch blade.) Shaped like a gentle wave to fit the hand snugly, the ergonomically designed handle contains a full rat-tail tang and is fully watertight with no gaps. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, it should be hand washed to protect the edge. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred BrackFrom the Manufacturer
 | The Twin Select range is a master blend of function and design. These forged knives feature ergonomic 18/10 stainless-steel handles combined with blades made from J.A. Henckels?s exclusive high-carbon, no-stain steel formula. The result is a beautiful, award-winning knife that exudes elegance and is a pleasure to use. The Twin Select line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, sandwich, carving, chef?s, santoku, and others. Twin Select knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered. |
A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
Twin Select knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Select knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Select knives use J.A. Henckels?s Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.
New Ergonomic Handle Technology
 | The Twin Select series features comfortable, ergonomic stainless-steel handles that accommodate each hand size while improving function, convenience, and safety. These patented handles are hygienic, colorfast, and break-proof (U.S. Patent #5791055). The quality of Twin Select can be recognized by the Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo featured on the end of the handle. |
