Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener Review



Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener Feature

  • Suitable for all knives with a fine edge
  • Comprises two modules: one for coarse sharpening and one for fine sharpening
  • Rubber feet prevent skidding on the counter top
  • Measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall
  • Works well for both right- and left-handed people
Henckels Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won't skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper. Stylish stainless steel. Hard sharpen is easy and efficient to use. 2 module positions will restore even the dullest knife edge. Full instructions included in box.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 8-Inch Bread Knife

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

From the Manufacturer

Twin Cuisine is the first quality forged knife to combine the comfort of a truly ergonomic, molded handle with the precision weight and balance of a full horizontal tang. Plus, the Twin Cuisine’s exclusive, award-winning patented handle design is a new standard in fine cutlery (U.S. design patent #D524,121). The series is available in many styles for numerous cutting tasks. Twin Cuisine is also available in a variety of block sets and gift sets. The Twin Cuisine series truly is a masterful blend of form and function.

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction

Twin Cuisine knives are traditionally forged from a single piece of J.A. Henckels’s exclusive high carbon, no-stain steel formula. The result is a knife with high durability, professional strength, and weight. Twin Cuisine also uses J.A.

The blade edge is precision honed and laser controlled to maintain a sharper and consistent blade angle.

New Ergonomic Handle Technology

The Twin Cuisine handle features exclusive new and innovative handle technology: a full horizontal tang without rivets. High-impact polypropylene is bonded with J.A. Henckels’s high-carbon, no-stain steel, resulting in a remarkably comfortable handle with a smooth shape and no gaps. The world-famous Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo is etched on the end of every Twin Cuisine knife handle, indicating its quality.

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

From the Manufacturer

The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series features trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling--it’s a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chef’s, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered.

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.

Features

  • Sigmaforge one-piece precision-forged construction: Provides perfect geometry, high precision, and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness.
  • Laser-controlled edge: Is sharper and stays sharper longer. Has a more consistent blade angle.

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.
