Review & Description
Twin Cuisine is the latest addition to the J.A. Henckels family of fine cutlery. This 7-inch hollow-edge santoku is one-piece precision forged, with excellent cutting retention, corrosion resistance, and an exclusive ergonomic handle design. This AsianOne 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 single-piece blade, forged from high-carbon, no-stain steel and strengthened in Henckels's 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. The next-to-largest Asian chef's knife in the Twin Cuisine collection, the 7-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

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
Twin Cuisine knives are traditionally forged from a single piece of J.A. Henckels’s exclusive high-carbon, no-stain steel formula. The result is a knife with high durability, professional strength, and weight. Twin Cuisine also uses J.A. Henckels’s Friodur ice-hardening process, which results in a blade that has excellent cutting-edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade edge is precision honed and laser controlled to maintain a sharper and consistent blade angle.
New Ergonomic Handle Technology
 | The Twin Cuisine handle features exclusive new and innovative handle technology: a full horizontal tang without rivets. High-impact polypropylene is bonded with J.A. Henckels’s high-carbon, no-stain steel, resulting in a remarkably comfortable handle with a smooth shape and no gaps. The world-famous Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo is etched on the end of every Twin Cuisine knife handle, indicating its quality. | |
