Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 8-Inch Bread Knife Review
Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 8-Inch Bread Knife Feature
- 8-inch bread knife slices hard or soft bread and other foods
- Henckels's exclusive full horizontal tang provides precision weight and balance
- Friodur ice-hardened blade made from high-carbon, no-stain steel
- Molded ergonomic handle without rivets or gaps for ultimate comfort
- Made in Germany; wash by hand; lifetime warranty
One of the newest premium lines from Zwilling J.A. Henckels, Twin Cuisine was introduced in 2004 with a major revelation: it's the first high-quality forged cutlery line to feature a molded handle with a visible, full-length tang that runs horizontally. In fact, the handle is absolutely stunning, with the shiny tang curving slightly as it courses through the black nonslip polypropylene. With no rivets or gaps, the ergonomic handle provides seamless comfort, while the full tang adds weight for precision balance. The single-piece blade, forged from high-carbon, no-stain steel and strengthened in Henckels's exclusive Friodur ice-hardening process, retains its sharp edge through extensive cutting and chopping. Made in Germany and covered by a lifetime warranty, Twin Cuisine knives are dishwasher-safe but are best cared for when washed and dried by hand.
With the wealth of freshly-baked artisan breads available these days, a bread knife with a serrated edge is a necessity. The Twin Cuisine 8-inch serrated bread knife cuts thin, uniform slices from even the crustiest bread, and slices equally smoothly through tomatoes, avocadoes, and other foods that have a tougher exterior than interior. While not recommended for cutting meat and fish (slices won't turn out evenly), the serrated bread knife is surprisingly versatile and makes an excellent gift for anyone who loves to bake their own bread or buy uncut loaves. --Ann Bieri

Victorinox 40521 10-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle Review
Victorinox 40521 10-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle Feature
- Light weight and long blade make it great for cooks with larger hands and frequent big chopping jobs
- High carbon stainless-steel blade provides maximum sharpness and edge retention; conical ground through length and depth for a wider break point
- Blade stamped from cold-rolled steel; bolsterless edge for use of entire blade and ease of sharpening
- Patented Fibrox handles are textured, slip resistant, and ergonomically designed for balance and comfort; NSF approved
- Hand washing recommended; lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects; expertly made in Switzerland
The R H Forschner by Victorinox Chef's Knife features an 10-inch blade that is 2.25-inches wide at the handle. High carbon, stainless steel blade is hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.
