Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife
Customer Review: Great gift idea
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased one for myself several months ago and loved how smoothly it sliced through both vegetables and meat. I gave this one to my sister after preparing pizza toppings with the dull chef's knife she had. The 7 inch is a good size - longer and I find I want to put my hand on the back of the blade to steady it rather than on the handle where it belongs. Definitely go for the full tang and heft of this knife made of high carbon stainless steel. It holds its edge and has good balance. Just remind the new user that this knife is a thin cleaver and not a chef's knife that requires a rocking motion. It's not a difficult transition.
Description of J.A. Henckels Twin Five Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife
A chef's knife where the back tip of the blade is rounded. Straight edge blade lends itself to cleaver like chopping motion.The super-sharp 7-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle make this a top-notch cleaver. Forged in Solingen, Germany, of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust-resistance, and durability, this knife handles almost any chopping job in the kitchen--whether vegetables or meat and poultry bones and joints--and is perfect for the cook partial to Chinese-style knives.
When it is finally time to sharpen the sturdy 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, 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 cleaver is to hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse it well, and then immediately wipe it dry. --Marcela Broussard

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
TWIN? Five Star 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, TWIN? Five Star knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry.
