Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 5.5-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Boning Knife

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 5.5-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Boning Knife Review

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 5.5-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Boning Knife Feature

• Removes bones from poultry, meats, and fish
• Forged, high-carbon stainless-steel blade
• Black synthetic, three-rivet full-tang handle
• Made in Germany
• Lifetime warranty

With a flexible blade that bends around big bones and joints, this knife will fillet a trout but works best with poultry and meats. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. Handles are also smaller, a feature those with small hands may appreciate. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. While this boning knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

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.

An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use

J.A. Henckels’s Twin Pro S knives boast a comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design that won’t wear against the hand and helps to provide control when doing any cutting task. 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.

In a shin bone soup the meat delicately falls from the bone after being simmered over time. But for those occasions when you have to separate meat from the bone, cooked or uncooked this knife is the ideal tool. The tip looks like a delicately bowed half spear; its point lies on the end of a straight spine where it's met by a cutting edge that rocks up to a 40-degree angle to the tip. This allows for deep accurate cuts.
