5.0 out of 5 stars Not only excellent for cheese!, September 1, 2002

This review is from: Henckels Twin Select Cheese Knife (Kitchen)

I have this knife and it has become my favorite all around knife.
The knive is nice and light and the blade is extemely sharp and thin. It is terrific for slicing tomatoes, onions and anything else that you want to slice nice & thin. I even use it on partially frozen meat to cut thin slices for stir fry. It doesn't matter what you are cutting, it's like cutting through butter!

4.0 out of 5 stars Be ware of the handle!, November 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Henckels Twin Select Cheese Knife (Kitchen)

This knife fails in the ergonomics department. See that loop-like handle from the picture? Imagine you gripping it hard and you palm will start to complain because of the pressure exerted at the edges. Contrast this to a knife with solid, round handle.

Over the time I have already get used to this by holding the knife more skillfully, but I figure that I should share this design flaw with you.

Finally, I also want to add that this is a good cheese knife if I only evaluate the blade. So get it if you don't mind having to adjust to the weird shape of the handle. (Henckels must be trying to save material to cut the cost...)

I like this knife so much, I find myself looking for reasons to use it. Perfect for preparing grilled Hallumi. Slice the Hallumi cheese, put it in the pan at medium hi heat, and slice the tomatoes, as thin as you please. When the cheese is golden brown on both sides, put it on the tomato slices, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. Just remember, since this is a serrated blade, best cutting effect is to be had by drawing the blade across what you are cutting and not just pressing down. At least that is true with tomatoes and some cheeses. YMMV.
