Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Henckels Twin Select 2-Piece Asian Knife Set
Customer Review: Unparalleled
Summary: 4 Stars
The Twin Select series is fantastic and deserves to be the highest line in the Henckels family. This set is perfect for the beginner sushi enthusiast (me). If you have tried to cut a sushi roll with a standard chef's knife you know how hard it is to get a nice straight cut through the roll.The handles on these knives are superb, ESPECIALLY if you have large hands (me again). The Twin Select line is expensive so buying one of these knives is a careful consideration for most of us. The only reason I didn't give this set a 5 is because I would like to have seen the twin select filet knife rather than the pairing knife alongside the santoku knife.
Simply feels good to cut with!
Description of Henckels Twin Select 2-Piece Asian Knife Set
Pairing a 7-inch santoku and a 4-inch paring knife, this two-piece set provides both blades essential to a cook--especially a cook who enjoys a santoku's virtues. With its broad blade, a santoku is the Asian equivalent of a European-style chef's knife, only with a low tip and a less-curved edge. It provides less rocking action than a European chef's knife, but for straight-down slicing and precise chopping it's superb. Though the knives are dishwasher-safe they should be hand washed to protect edges. Made in Germany, they carry a lifetime warranty against defects. Distinguished by 18/10 stainless-steel, satin-finish handles shaped like gentle waves to fit the hand snugly, and full rat-tail tangs, Twin Select knives embody Henckels's renowned knife-making craft. Except for fully forged blades less than 6 inches long--like the paring knife in this set--blades and bolsters of Henckels's premier cutlery lines are high-tech welded to combine three types of high-carbon stainless steel into what appears to be a single piece so a knife's parts have distinct, desirable characteristics. Henckels says the welds are even stronger than the steel. --Fred BrackFrom the Manufacturer
 | The Twin Select range is a master blend of function and design. These forged knives feature ergonomic 18/10 stainless-steel handles combined with blades made from J.A. Henckels's exclusive high-carbon, no-stain steel formula. The result is a beautiful, award-winning knife that exudes elegance and is a pleasure to use. The Twin Select line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, sandwich, carving, chef's, santoku, and others. Twin Select knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered. |
A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
Twin Select knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, these knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Select knives use J.A. Henckels's Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.
New Ergonomic Handle Technology
 | The Twin Select series features comfortable, ergonomic stainless-steel handles that accommodate each hand size while improving function, convenience, and safety. These patented handles are hygienic, colorfast, and break-proof (USA Patent #5791055). The quality of Twin Select can be recognized by the Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo featured on the end of the handle. |
