Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 7-Inch High-Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife

Customer Review: This Henckels is the Best Quality if you can ignore price
Summary: 5 Stars

We had learned that Henckels was supposed to be among the very best, and to our good fortune read that just at the right time they were running their annual warehouse sale nearby. We were unprepared for what we found - tables and tables of every variety of knife one could think of. Again, to our good fortune, we located a very helpful employee who steered us in the right direction.

To begin with, Henckels makes a variety of qualities, and we chose the top of the line. We were told that these knives are hand-made and ice-hardened (whatever that signifies). Even after that choice, we were faced with another decision. There were three knives at this same level of quality and workmanship, the only difference being in the way each was balanced. The Professional chef's knife was the one that I felt most comfortable with, but who can tell for sure, they all felt good. We chose the eight-inch chef's knife to start with because it seemed to be the one with the most uses, chopping vegetables, and heavy slicing. I had always wanted a good carving knife, too, and we stayed with the same quality for this. These knives go for eighty dollars plus, each, retail, and we paid forty-three and thirty-nine respectively, still not cheap but a good deal.

We also sprung for a small paring knife of the same category and one lower quality bread knife. The bread knife is still satisfactory, but I rave about the others. They make what was a nasty chore into a pleasure. No more hacking at the roast chicken or turkey - now I get nice slices so easily. Chopping the veggies is a breeze, too, and no more nicked fingernails or sliced hands. You know, you're more likely to hurt yourself with a dull knife than with a sharp one.

The last purchase of this shopping trip was a new honing steel. We did have an old one, but our informant said that it was probably too soft for the newer hardened knives. He was right. One important caveat: don't put these good knives in the dishwasher. Simply clean them with soap and water right after using them and put them away.

An initial expensive outlay, yes. A good investment, to be sure. I would recommend these knives especially to young families, so that they benefit from top quality for many years.

A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction

Twin Pro S 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 Pro S 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 Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels?s Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

These durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife for stability and durability. The impeccably balanced super bolster provides weight and adds balance for safer and more professional cutting.
