Product Description
The latest in professional quality cutlery, the Twin Cuisine series by Henckels is unique in its full tang without rivets in the handle, designed for a comfortable, confident grip.

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. The Twin Cuisine 8-inch chef's knife is practically a kitchen necessity. The pointed, curved blade allows the knife to rock with ease, which enhances the speed and precision of slicing carrots, mincing garlic and parsley, and dicing onions. The weight of the large knife may take some getting used to, but the superb balance lends itself to every task. An all-purpose workhorse of a knife with a very satisfying feel, the Twin Cuisine chef's knife makes an excellent gift for any seasoned or aspiring chef. --Ann Bieri 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. Plus, the Twin Cuisine's exclusive, award-winning patented handle design is a new standard in fine cutlery (U.S. design patent #D524,121). 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. 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. | | Features - Traditional one-piece hot drop-forged construction: Provides high durability, strength, and weight.
- Laser-controlled edge: Is sharper and stays sharper longer. Has a more consistent blade angle.
- Friodur ice hardening: Maximum no-stain properties and more blade strength. Improved resistance to corrosion and pitting.
- Super bolster: Provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance.
- New, patented full horizontal handle tang without rivets: Provides a strong, smooth, comfortable handle with great control and balanced design.
- High-carbon no-stain steel, an exclusive J.A. Henckels formula: Nonstaining, nonrusting.
- Precision-honed blade: Is sharper and stays sharper longer.
- Dishwasher-safe: Easy care (although hand washing is recommended by J.A. Henckels).
- Full warranty: J.A. Henckels stands behind all its knives.

I bought this for my hubby and we both love it. The handle is very durable and the blade is wonderful. It isn't too lightweight, but the construction is great. Worth every penny.
Cutting perfection December 31, 2007

This 8" chef's knife is one of the finest on the market. The grip is well contoured and very comfortable in the hand. The blade is razor sharp and thanks to a special process of ice-hardening it should remain so for quite some time. It's also possible to buy the J.A. Henckels Knives 10" Sharpening Steel 32565 260 to help retain the edge almost indefinitely.
The balance is superb and the curved blade is perfect for rocking back and forth as you slice vegetables. This is a fairly heavy knife, however, and for some tasks you might want a smaller, lighter knife. That's not really a negative since any kitchen should have a good variety of several knives to choose from.
There are many knives available for a lot less money than the Twin Cuisine series. Unfortunately, cheap knives will never take and hold an edge like this one will. Try this knife just once and you'll be hooked on Twin Cuisine for good.
Envy of the staff December 19, 2007

This knife has become the envy of the entire kitchen staff. I work in fine dining and this knife does it all. It keeps a shaving sharp edge. Be sure to pick up a Henckels steel and keep it that way. The balance is fantastic and the handle is the best design I have ever used. And it is by far the most comfortable. You'll be looking for things to cut with this knife. Next on my list is the serrated utility knife. You won't regret this purchase.
great for tall women March 1, 2007

I am 5'10", with hands to match. Knives with the traditional handle are just too small and my hands cramp up if I have to use them for a while. The handles on these are thick and solid and ergonomically curved. Great for a woman with larger hands or your average guy. Wouldn't recommend them for a small woman because of the handle size and because they are a heavier knife overall. My only negative with these knives is that they don't have an ID on the end of the handle the way another company (is it Wustof?) does, which makes it easy to find the knife you want without pulling them out to check.

This is the workhorse for your kitchen! Sharp, well balanced and excellent grip! I'd love to have the 12 inch version of this knife but they don't make it!
