Amazon.com Review
One 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. This seven-piece set of Twin Cuisine knives and accessories makes an exceptional starter collection for the aspiring home chef, especially one who appreciates Asian cuisine. For making sushi or sashimi, the 3-inch kudamono parer and 5-inch hollow-edge santoku in the set cut ultra-thin slices of fish and vegetables thanks to their special blades. The 5-inch serrated utility knife works wonders at slicing tomatoes and bread, while the heavy 8-inch chef's knife is a must-have for the chopping, dicing, and mincing needs of any kitchen. Also included in the set are a pair of kitchen shears and a 9-inch sharpening steel for keeping blades perfectly sharp. All the items safely store in the angled, natural-finish hardwood block stamped with the Henckels logo. Four extra slots allow the collection to grow, and larger Henckels Twin Cuisine sets are available as well. --Ann Bieri What's in the Box

From the Manufacturer  | Twin Cuisine is the first quality forged knife to combine the comfort of a truly ergonomic, molded handle with the precision weight and balance of a full horizontal tang.

The series is available in many styles for numerous cutting tasks. Twin Cuisine is also available in a variety of block sets and gift sets. The Twin Cuisine series truly is a masterful blend of form and function. | | 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.

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. | | Features - Traditional one-piece hot drop-forged construction: Provides high durability, strength, and weight.

Henckels earns their amazing reputation. February 9, 2008
J.A. Henckels have a reputation of being a leader in knives, and knife lines like this one are the reason they have been in business for hundreds of years. These knives have perfect weighting in each knife for a point of balance that allows for a virtually effortless cutting motion. For instance the balance point on the chef's knife is just to the handle side of the point where the handle meets the blade so that the knife easily rotates at that point to allow a rocking cut with unparalleled ease. In comparison, the balance point on the santoku is mid-handle for a chopping motion. I am sure I will buy more of these knives in the future to complete my set, but this 7 piece set is a great starting point that won't hurt your wallet too badly.
Holy... These are AWESOME! May 7, 2007

I shopped for a long time and selected these for my wife for christmas. We love to cook and her old knives were getting a little boring - these knives are far from it. The handle feels great and having a full tang that extends through the comfortable curves handle looks AND feels great. We use all of the knives a great deal. The only things *missing* which you'll want to add on are a 6" chef's knife and a bread knife. We had the latter already, so that made this set a no-brainer. I will be picking up the other "missing" knife for $80 at a chain shop. I cannot say enough about the quality. If you're a foodie or just like to have nice, great-looking equipment in your kitchen, these knives beat the snot out of the 4- and 5-star lines.
