Lighter than a cleaver yet heavier than a chefs knife, Henckels 7-inch santoku knife finds the perfect balance between the two. This all-purpose tool comfortably meets any day-to-day kitchen cutting need--hearty enough to handle chicken bones, yet slightly curved and sharp enough to rapidly chop vegetables or mince garlic. The cutting edge features a series of small, oval-shaped grooves designed to trap air during use and prevent food from adhering to its sides. Precision forged in Germany by renowned knife manufacturer Henckels, the blade features high-carbon steel construction. A unique Friodor ice-hardening process further strengthens the cutting piece and prevents staining. Fitting the hand comfortably, the 18/10 steel handle creates a cohesive look. Measuring 12-3/4 inches by 1-3/4 inches by 3/4 inches overall, this knife comes with a lifetime warranty and is dishwasher-safe. Regular sharpening will maintain excellent performance for years and years.

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
Twin Select 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, these 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 Select knives use J.A. Henckelss Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

| The Twin Select series features comfortable, ergonomic stainless-steel handles that accommodate each hand size while improving function, convenience, and safety. These patented handles are hygienic, colorfast, and break-proof (USA Patent #5791055). The quality of Twin Select can be recognized by the Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo featured on the end of the handle. | |

What a great knife!, December 5, 2008
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Select Hollow Edge Santoku Knife (Kitchen)
I particularly like that this knife series is completely metal from tip to end. The heft of the piece makes chopping and slicing very easy, just letting the weight of the knife do the work. There's a nice balance point towards the front of the handle and the ergonomic handle is shaped in such a way that it still feels natural to place your fingers on the back of the blade for chopping duties. Very nice!
