Product Description
Amazon.com Review
For cooks who prefer Asian knives, this set, combining a 7-inch santoku knife and a 3-inch straightedge paring knife, is an ideal gift. To Japanese chefs, the santoku is the kitchen workhorse, equivalent to what the French chef's knife means to Europeans. The santoku has a low-tip style with a broad blade and a fairly straight cutting edge, so it provides little rocking action; however, for straight-down slicing and precise chopping, it's superb. Well balanced, the knife's 7-inch blade can be manipulated by cooks of any hand size. The santoku's blade is welded using a high-tech method that combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so each part of the knife benefits from having the precise proportion of steel. Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. The low-tip, straightedge paring knife cuts, peels, and cleans fruits and vegetables. The paring knife's blade is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. The handles on both knives are made of a black synthetic material and have a full tang and three rivets. --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.
