Product Description
Amazon.com Review
A super-sharp 6-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle make this a top-notch chef's knife. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust-resistance, and durability, this knife effortlessly chops vegetables, fruit, or whatever comes in its path. Cutting with this knife is like slicing through butter--no resistance whatsoever to hamper the knife's controlled descent to the cutting board.
When it is finally time to sharpen the broad blade, 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, fitting smaller hands like a glove and 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

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.

This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 6-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Wide Chef Knife (Kitchen)
Henckels has always produced an excellent product. The 5-star line is their latest innovation. Not only does the high-carbon steel blade take an edge and hold it, but the ergonomically-designed handle is a real bonus. These are worth the price!

This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 6-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Wide Chef Knife (Kitchen)
Great knife. If you take care of your knives, and keep them in a case in the drawer, these will last forever. I only own two knives, this one and the 7 inch Santoku. I use the Chef's knife the most! Recommend getting the plastic cases which will protect them in the drawer. The handle and balance is great. Haven't even sharpened it yet. Washes easily. I have small hands which is why I went with the 6-inch as opposed to the 8-inch. Don't buy a knife block with 9 knives. Just buy a good chef's knife and a pearing knife and you'll be good to go.
