Product Description
Amazon.com Review
The super-sharp 6-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle make this a top-notch sandwich knife. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust-resistance, and durability, this knife handily slices through sandwiches--and any other comparable food.
When it is finally time to sharpen the blade of this knife, worry not, for it lends itself well to both a sharpening stone and steel. Once you've achieved the edge you want, a few quick sweeps along a steel each time you use the knife should keep the edge in fine condition. The ergonomic polypropylene handle lies comfortably in your hand, facilitating strain-free use; the metal bolster acts as a finger-guard; and the blade, bolster, and tang are fused into a seamless piece for easy handling and balance. The absence of rivets and recesses in the synthetic handle allows for dishwasher use. Finally! Still, the best way to care for this knife is to hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse it well, and then immediately wipe it dry. --Marcela Broussard

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. |

Great knife!!,
By "designerchef" (NY, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 6-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Utility Knife (Kitchen)
If you want SUPERIOR grip (by far the best grip designed) with a sharp full knife, this is the one to get. Affordable compared to its TWIN star cousin.

Outstanding knife,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 6-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Utility Knife (Kitchen)
I purchased this roughly two months ago and it immediately became my primary knife in the kitchen. There are larger chef's knives, which are certainly handy for some jobs, but the great thing about this 6" beauty is that it remains light and easy to handle so that it is well suited for most everyday cutting tasks. The comfort of using the knife is aided by the fact that the handle is every bit as comfortable as Henckels claims. The knife is also extremely sharp and has worked like a dream on everything I've used it on. I've recently begun to slowly upgrade my knife collection and this one has been a great addition. It's easy to handle, very effective, and it should last for many years. I'd certainly recommend it to others looking for an excellent all-purpose knife.
