Amazon.com Review

With their laser-controlled edges and durable blades, Henckels Twin Signature knives deliver quality and precision without maxing out the budget. Twin Signature knives feature high-carbon stainless-steel blades that have been stamped from a single piece of metal and put through the patented Friodur ice-hardening process to ensure their strength. The edges are laser-controlled for consistency and sharpness, and each one is hand-honed during the production process. The polymer handles are ergonomically designed and offer a comfortable fit for mid-size or smaller hands. Three stainless-steel rivets secure the handle to the blade, and the full-tang construction (the stamped steel piece that runs the full length of the knife) ensures better handling and durability. Ideal for slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping, this 6-inch chef's knife makes for a convenient addition to any busy kitchen. Made in Germany, the knife is safe in the dishwasher, though Henckels recommends washing it by hand. --Emily Bedard

4.0 out of 5 stars Hurts my hand, but great buy, August 1, 2007

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 8-Inch Chef's Knife (Kitchen)

I ordered this knife as part of a budding good-knife collection. I've used it for about two weeks now, to cut everything: chocolate, chicken, fruit, bacon, onions, and lots and lots of scrap paper (alas, even a curious man's fingernail fell victim to this knife). It's very sharp, and holds a blade as you'd expect a Henckels knife to do. It performs quite well.

However, I'm not sure it will become my favorite knife. An odd thing happens when I use it: I can't just grab the handle and control the knife like you'd expect to control any decent chef's knife. I end up laying my whole index finger along the top of the blade and crowding all of the rest of my fingers in the front 1.5" of handle space. I try to make myself use only the handle, but the knife feels unwieldy and strange. I'd chalk this peculiarity up to my own ignorance of how to properly use a knife, but here's the thing--the boyfriend, using it the other day to cut chocolate (okay, it was his fingernail that fell victim to the "test kitchen" trials), found himself holding the knife the very same way.

We might just be weird, and yes, Amazon is selling a great German knife for $33, but be warned--that grip just isn't as comfortable, nor does it provide the same power, as a more expensive Henckels knife.

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 8-Inch Chef's Knife (Kitchen)

I bought the whole set witch runs around $500 and I would buy it again! This is the best knife set I ever have owned. They are VERY SHARP so watch your fingers! I am German so I knew the brand and looked for it since I had a hard time to find good knifes in the States :( The price here is just great I wish I would have bought it from Amazon I paid so much more. By the way in Germany you pay just for the meat,chef or breat knife around $90 to $120 alone!
