Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 3-Piece Starter Set with Bonus Sharpening Steel
Customer Review: Great essentials kit!
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this kit as a replacement for an old set of knives that we had. I had recently bought the Santoku knife from Henckels and quickly realized that one knife wasn't enough when my husband and I were cooking together.
The large Chef's knife is the one that I use most along with the Santoku knife. The paring one comes in handy as well although I haven't had a chance to use the other knife or sharpening steel.
I am very happy with the knives and the quality. I'm not a knife guru so all the stuff about balance, etc. is not something that I know much about. All I know is the the knives are sharp, comfy to the feel, grip well and make me happy!
I would definitely buy these knives again if I had to....great bridal gift too!
As usual, the items arrived quickly! Great price for the set!

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
TWIN® Five Star 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® Five Star 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® Five Star knives use J.A. Henckels? Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

 | The Five Star® series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These ergonomic handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance. |
