Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With its wicked little curve and pointed tip, the 2-3/4-inch blade of this specialty knife peels fruits and vegetables with delicate precision, removes blemishes, and shapes them as desired. Unlike longer top-grade Henckels knives, which are formed by a high-tech welding process, this knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. Its handle has a full tang, and its synthetic grips are attached by three rivets. Although the knife is dishwasher-safe, it should be hand washed to protect its edge. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --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.

5.0 out of 5 stars the perfect paring knife, March 1, 2001

By	Marcia "dallasmae" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 2-3/4-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Peeling Knife (Kitchen)

I used this knife at a friends house. The balance is great. You can tell this is a quality knife. The small tip end is great for coring strawberries. The slightly wider area by the base makes it nice for pealing thin skinned items such at potatoes. This is a must for anyone that picks strawberries to core and freeze. I liked it so much I'm purchasing one for myself. You can't get anything like this at local store.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Knife I Own, April 16, 2004

This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 2-3/4-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Peeling Knife (Kitchen)

I bought a collection of Pro-S knives about a year ago and never thought this one would be the one I used the most. It is great for use as advertised - peeling, strawberries, etc. But what they don't tell you is how many other things it is useful; cutting chicken legs and thighs, cutting away the ribs from prime rib, and any task where you need to cut something you can't see. Mine dropped on the floor and the tip bent today - definately want to take care of this knife - and if it doesn't straighten out right I guarantee I'll be buying another one.

I used to watch my mom use a kife similar to this when I was a kid. I never new what it was for so when I saw it after purchasing other Henkels knives thru the years, I decided to give it a try. I use it for everything, especially peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables. A great knife and now I see why my mom used hers so much so many years ago.
