Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Designed for Henckels's Twin Select knives but suitable for any knife style, this sleek 10-slot oval block stores eight knives, a sharpening steel, and kitchen shears on the counter within reach. For flexibility, the sharpening-steel slot can hold an extra knife instead of a steel and the shears slot can hold a carving fork instead of shears. The heavy, stable block has rubber feet and is made of wood with a black granite-like finish. It measures 10-1/4 inches high, 4-1/2 inches wide, and 12 inches deep. Attached to the lower front is a handsome black-and-silver medallion displaying the famous Henckels logo. --Fred Brack

From the Manufacturer

The Twin Select range is a master blend of function and design. These forged knives feature ergonomic 18/10 stainless-steel handles combined with blades made from J.A. Henckels’s exclusive high-carbon, no-stain steel formula. The result is a beautiful, award-winning knife that exudes elegance and is a pleasure to use. The Twin Select line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, sandwich, carving, chef’s, santoku, and others. Twin Select knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered.

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. Henckels’s Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

New Ergonomic Handle Technology

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.

Features:

• Sigmaforge one-piece, precision-forged construction: Provides perfect geometry, high precision, and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness.
• Laser-controlled edge: Is sharper and stays sharper longer. Has a more consistent blade angle.
• Friodur ice hardening: Maximum no-stain properties and more blade strength. Improved resistance to corrosion and pitting.
• Super bolster: Provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance.
• Full rat-tail tang: Provides a proper balance and greater strength.
• High-carbon, no-stain steel, an exclusive J.A. Henckels formula: Nonstaining, nonrusting.
• Precision-honed blade: Is sharper and stays sharper longer.
• Ergonomic 18/10 stainless-steel handle: Safer and more convenient to use for any hand size.
• Dishwasher-safe: Easy care (although hand washing is recommended by J.A. Henckels).
• Full warranty: J.A. Henckels stands behind all its knives.
