## Description

Product description               The professional choice for chopping, dicing, bias-cutting, and slicing. Knife handle is rocked up and down with one hand while the fingers of the other rest lightly on the back of the blade towards the tip.                  .com               The super-sharp 8-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle make this a top-notch chef's knife. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust-resistance, and durability, this knife effortlessly chops any vegetable, fruit--or whatever comes in its path. Cutting with this knife is like slicing through butter--no resistance whatsoever to hamper the knife's controlled descent to the cutting board. When it is finally time to sharpen the broad blade, worry not, for it lends itself well to both a sharpening stone and steel. Once you've achieved the edge you want, a few quick sweeps along a steel each time you use the knife should keep the edge in fine condition. The ergonomic polypropylene handle lies comfortably in your hand, fitting most any hand like a glove and facilitating strain-free use; the metal bolster acts as a finger-guard; and the blade, bolster, and tang are fused into a seamless piece for easy handling and balance. The absence of rivets and recesses in the synthetic handle allows for dishwasher use. Finally! Still, the best way to care for this knife is to hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse it well, and then immediately wipe it dry. --Marcela Broussard From the Manufacturer The TWIN® Five Star range is a masterful blend of sharpness and ergonomic design.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    This is a good knife.
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2010*

It is hands-down the most used knife in our kitchen. The balance is fantastic and it will cut through anything. Easy to control, sharp as (expletive deleted), easy to clean... did I mention sharp? As with any good piece of cutlery, take of it and it will take care of you. This knife is worth every penny. If you have one knife in your kitchen, this would be a hard one to top.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Full size bolster gets in the way after repeated sharpenings
  

*by R***7 on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2019*

This would be a great line of cutlery except for one thing;The bolster eventually eventually protrudes lower than the actual blade edge after repeated sharpenings, no matter how careful you are not to remove extra metal. I bought almost the entire line of 5-star Henckels cutlery years ago from Amazon when I worked as a cook on the Las Vegas strip. If it weren't for this, they would be absolutely acceptable. Many German knives come with a full bolster for comfort while cutting. I got around this by grinding the bolster down on a Tormek sharpener, but I will never buy German cutlery again. FWIW, Japanese style cutlery, at least the higher quality lines, come with much harder steel. It's not as "tough", but it retains an edge quite a bit better, and can be honed extremely fine, with a mirror edge, if you have the right sharpening tools. I made these purchases many years ago, so my review probably won't show up as a verified purchase.

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2006*

This is the best knife I own, really makes a difference when trying to work with the membranes on racks of ribs and on skirt steaks. I guess I expected a little more sharpness to the blade- I'm satisfied but not overwhelmed.
