Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cermax M66 4-Inch Paring Knife
Customer Review: Best paring knife
Summary: 5 Stars
This knife incorporates Japanese blade geometry (thin angel) with a western style handle (comfortable). Add the HRC 66 steel core and you have a superior cutting knife. This knife as it arrives from the factory will cut, ... say carrots with about half the effort of common brand name knifes. My only pause in recommending this knife to everybody would be the buyers ability to sharpen their knifes. Using the wrong sharpening technique will adversely change the profile and lower the cutting performance back down to average.
Description of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cermax M66 4-Inch Paring Knife
Experience a new standard in sharpness with J.A. Henckels' TWIN Cermax M66 4" Paring Knife. Excellent for cleaning, paring, peeling, and slicing small fruits and vegetables. TWIN Cermax M66 knives feature exclusive MC66 high carbon, powder steel surrounA striking feat of engineering, the TWIN Cermax M66 line from J.A. Henckels is the cutlery company's premium offering in cooking knives. Exceptionally sharp and a dream to handle, the knives combine German steel with Japanese manufacture, and their design is exquisite, smart, and tough. Honed by hand with an Asian-style edge, TWIN Cermax M66 blades are crafted from microcarbide steel, a molten substance atomized into a powder and then compacted under high pressure. The result is a hardness rating of 66 Rockwell, which allows the blades to be brought to an incredible sharpness and ensures that they retain their edges remarkably well. To increase balance and comfort in action, the knives also feature full-tang construction, triple rivets, and a rounded ergonomic grip. Though styled to resemble wood, the black handles are in fact a layered and compacted compound of linen and resin called Micarta, resulting in excellent maneuverability and satisfying weight.
This handsome little 4-inch paring knife is ideal for the sort of kitchen tasks performed before almost every meal--trimming, slicing, peeling, and garnishing. It has a generous handle-to-blade ratio for comfort, and its elongated taper allows for precision work. A matching piece to the TWIN Cermax M66 chef's and utility knives, the parer should always be washed and dried by hand. J.A. Henckels includes a lifetime warranty. --Emily Bedard
From the Manufacturer
 | TWIN® Cermax M66 fulfills every knife lovers' dream. Special MicroCarbide Powder Steel ensures that the blade is as sharp as a scalpel and exceptionally hard. (The Cermax line measures 66 in the Rockwell Hardness Test.) The ergonomic handle is made from the latest, state-of-the-art technology and materials suggested by top Japanese Iron Chef, Rokusaburo Michiba. TWIN® Cermax M66 knives are crafted in Japan and are complemented with an attractive gift box. |
A Different Standard in Blade Construction:
Traditional steel can have uneven carbides of varying size, but TWIN® Cermax M66 blades are constructed with a core of special MC66 Steel (MicroCarbide) powder steel. This special steel is even with refined carbides and is developed by atomizing molten steel into micro powder, then compacting it under high pressure. The result is a hardness of 66 Rockwell and a sharper cutting edge. The MC66 core is covered by innovative CLAD material which protects the extremely hard core, thus minimizing any chance of corrosion or breakage. The cutting edge is exceptionally sharp due to the Asian edge angle and the hand honing process.
It's All in The Grip:
 | The revolutionary 3-rivet, full tang, Micarta handles are made from linen and synthetic resin compounded by pressure and heat. Micarta's distinguishing features are the elegant, wood-like appearance and smooth finish. These perfect ergonomic handles have been developed in cooperation with top Japanese Iron Chef, Rokusaburo Michiba. A top quality end cap features the Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo, which is world renown as a symbol of quality. |
