Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Designed to be your all-around knife for cutting fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, and such, this 5-inch utility knife benefits from J.A. Henckels's 260 years in the cutlery business. It's made from high-grade, rolled stainless steel, produced using Henckels's own Sintermetal Component Technology. This process allows different grades of steel to be combined to form a single integral piece capable of withstanding extreme stress--each part of the knife is made from the grade of steel with the optimum characteristics for that component. The cutting edge features a specially designed serration pattern, ensuring prolonged sharpness without resharpening. The full-length tang (meaning the metal continues all the way through to the end of the handle) gives you a better-balanced and stronger knife. The polypropylene handle with rustproof rivets is nearly indestructible. It's dishwasher-safe, but be careful that the blade doesn't touch other objects; hand washing is recommended to keep steel blades scratch free. --Doree Armstrong

Whenever my husband and I are in the kitchen together preparing dinner, one of us waits until the other is finished cutting to use this knife. It slices through tomatoes without ruining them. We use it for cutting everything.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tip broke 1st time I used it, April 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 5-Inch Stainless-Steel Utility Knife (Kitchen)

Usually I love Henkel, but this one I must say, the tip bent while in the sink the first time I washed it and when I tried to straighten it - it just plain broke off.

2.0 out of 5 stars Package says "Not Recommended for Left-Handers", July 3, 2003

By

I purchased this knife, and when it arrived, the package said, "Not recommended for left-handers." If Henckels chooses to design only for right-handed people, that's their right, but they should disclose it clearly. Second, [Amazon.com] should include such information in their editorial review. I'm left-handed, and I'll add this to my can opener and vegetable peeler as one-way kitchen gadgets.
