Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This knife's thin 8-inch blade makes any fine-slicing job a breeze and handles most big carving jobs easily. Henckels' International Classic is a moderately priced cutlery line made in countries other than the company's home of Germany. The steel is of lesser quality than that used in its premier lines. Also, the handles are narrower and shallower--a feature those with small hands might appreciate. While this utility knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars A comfortable knife for the cook, August 5, 2004

This review is from: J.A. Henckels International Classic 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Carving Knife (Kitchen)

This mid-priced line of Henckel knives, called "Classic" by the company, is a full-tang, single-piece, three-rivet line with sturdy black plastic handles. The handles are notched at the end to prevent the hand from sliding off during use. Although they are not razor sharp right from the package, their edges are sharp enough for the average cook. According to Henckel, all knives in this line are dishwasher safe, but you should expect more rapid dulling under the harsh conditions.

The slicer has a long straight blade that curves up gently two-thirds of the way toward the tip. The tip is extremely sharp, allowing for an exact and easy puncture to begin cutting. This knife is balanced evenly between blade and handle to make straight slicing more comfortable.

This is a useful blade to have in the kitchen, as it is great both for slicing melon and carving meat.
