Review & Description
Twin Cuisine is the latest addition to the J.A. Henckels family of fine cutlery. This 5-1/2-inch hollow-edge santoku is one-piece precision forged, with excellent cutting retention, corrosion resistance, and an exclusive ergonomic handle design. This AsiOne of the newest premium lines from Zwilling J.A. Henckels, Twin Cuisine was introduced in 2004 with a major revelation: it's the first high-quality forged cutlery line to feature a molded handle with a visible, full-length tang that runs horizontally. In fact, the handle is absolutely stunning, with the shiny tang curving slightly as it courses through the black nonslip polypropylene. With no rivets or gaps, the ergonomic handle provides seamless comfort, while the full tang adds weight for precision balance. The forged, single-piece blade, made from high-carbon, no-stain steel and strengthened in Henckels's Friodur exclusive Friodur ice-hardening process, retains its sharp edge through extensive cutting and chopping. Made in Germany and covered by a lifetime warranty, Twin Cuisine knives are dishwasher-safe but are best cared for when washed and dried by hand.
Thanks to the rising popularity of sushi and other Asian delicacies, Asian-style knives are now commonly found in American kitchens. A medium-size Asian chef's knife from the Twin Cuisine collection, the 5-1/2-inch santoku features a straight spine that curves downward to a fairly flat edge that excels at a multitude of chopping, slicing, and dicing food preparation tasks. Hollowed-out ovals along the razor-sharp edge reduce friction during cutting, resulting in paper-thin slices of fish, meat, or vegetables. A versatile addition to any kitchen, the santoku makes a superb gift for the chef who especially enjoys preparing Asian cuisine. --Ann Bieri
