Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Designed for a single task--slicing poultry, ham, roasts, and smoked salmon quickly and precisely--this knife's thin, flexible, 10-inch blade is called a Granton edge because it has alternating hollows on each side. The hollows create air pockets, allowing slices to fall away cleanly. Henckels's Five Star knives feature distinctive handles shaped like gentle waves that fit the hand snugly, though small-handed cooks might find them too thick and too long. Handles don't have full tangs. Like other top-grade Henckels knives, Five Star-series blades are formed by a high-tech welding process that combines three high-carbon, stainless-steel types into a single piece so that each part of a knife gets the precise amount of strength it needs. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging, but Henckels says the invisible welds are stronger than the steel itself. While this knife is dishwasher-safe, it should be hand washed to protect the edge. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

TWIN® Five Star knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered. |
A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
TWIN® Five Star 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® Five Star 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® Five Star knives use J.A. Henckels’ Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.
It's All in The Grip:
 | The Five Star® series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These ergonomic handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance. |

Won't rip your roast,
By "how2cook" (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henckels Five Star 10-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Granton Roast Slicer (Kitchen)
The scalloped edge of this knife makes all the difference in the world. After you successfully roast that aromatic stuffed beef tenderloin or prime rib roast, the last thing you want is to have those slices 'ripped' from the roast. These scouped out marks along the knife break the vacuum that causes both the roast and the slice you are working on from sticking and moving with the knife. This knife, kept sharp will serve all your slicing needs. Magazine photo quality slices from the roast on your dinner table. Impress all your friends, every time.

Cold Steel Perfection!,
By Belladonna Le Femme (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Henckels Five Star 10-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Granton Roast Slicer (Kitchen)
This knife along w/the matching 7" 5-star meat fork are my weapons of choice for carving leg of lamb, prime rib, ham, veal, turkey, etc...at various carving stations at my job. I love the 5-star line & have most pieces from it as well as 2 of this knife. I'd recomend trying the 4-star & pro-s line out as well before deciding on this line(same blades, different handles). I'd definately replace if lost/stolen. After using proper tools there's no way you can go back to cheap knives. I'd love to see a 12" version of this knife w/a wider blade.

A Disappointment,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Henckels Five Star 10-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Granton Roast Slicer (Kitchen)
Knife was in horrible shape, rusted and stained. I was able to get my money back, but was out shipping both ways. Henckels is great, but make sure the vendor is responsible.
