I have a great collection of Zwilling knives, and recently picked this one up to complete my set. I'm so glad that I did! It's the perfect knife for trimming meats and deboning chicken, etc. The handle is weighted perfectly for me, and the blade is as sharp as it gets. If you love playing around in the kitchen as much as I do, you've got to pick one of these up and give it a try!

build quality is simply excellent, my favorite knife, this knife only does one thing for me, but it is indispensable in my kitchen, if you can make this knife work for you, you will love this knife!

OK....this is the first "real" zwilling henckel knife I own and it surely wont be the last. I first noticed the weight of this knife is perfect, the handle felt great. I would recommend this knife to everyone. Cant wait to order the 9 piece block set.

This is just a quick warning about the Twin Cuisine design for all those that are interested.

Four star for the cutting ability of the knife, One star for the handles,(Because you can't click no stars)

I have been involved with the restaurant industry for some thirty years now as a Chef, management, designer, contractor etc... So I know good from bad when it comes to restaurant products.

About four years ago I decided to purchase a new set of knives. Henckel being one of my top choices, based on previous experience and ownership.

I settled on the Twin Cuisine because I liked the larger handle and overall weight of the knives and the look. Full length tang, no rivets and a more robust design of the handle. I purchased from various vendors on Amazon a compliment of around nine knives of various lengths and cutting styles. I also got two sets of the Twin Cuisine Steak Knives.

Speaking for the knife, (cutting portion) they are a great set of knives. They keep there edge, (as long as you hone them) and I think I have only had to sharpen them a few times over the years.

Now for the handles. Every one of these knives the handles are cracked, not cracking.... cracked. From my 10" chef knife to the steak knives. There is definitely a flaw in the plastic used to mold these handles. I have found references on other forums about this problem with the twin cuisine so buyer-be-ware.

Although they are warrantied for life the hassle is you have to send them in one at a time to Henckel, which frankly I have not taken the time to do, and it can take them up to eight weeks to deal with the warranty.

The Henckel Twin Cuisine boning knife is a joy to use. I've been lusting after this knife for a long time and finally took the plunge when I saw the price. The handle is perfectly shaped for most size hands and I love the weight of the knife. Henckel knives are known for being heavy in the handle and this knife is no different. Fantastic! After a recent trip to Italy, where I shared a whole grilled fish with my cousin in Riomaggiore, the southern most town in Cinque Terre, I knew this knife would be a welcome addition to my collection. Love it!!
