Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 5 1/4 Inch Hollow-Edge Santoku Knife

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 5 1/4 Inch Hollow-Edge Santoku Knife Review



Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 5 1/4 Inch Hollow-Edge Santoku Knife Feature

  • Sigmaforge one-piece construction; Friodur ice hardened
  • Laser-controlled and hand-honed edge stays sharper longer
  • Ergonomic 3-rivet Novodur handles bonded to the full tang for comfort and precision
  • Henckels's exclusive high-carbon, no-stain steel formula
  • Lifetime warranty
Designed for the aspiring hobby chef, the Professional S series provides the excellence expected from Zwilling J.A. Henckels, the upscale partner of Henckels International. The 5-inch santoku knife starts with the traditional look of the three-rivet handle and adds a hollow-edged blade that's practically a necessity these days in Asian cooking. The hollows create air pockets that allow thin slices to fall away without sticking. Professional S blades are superbly constructed of premium high-carbon, no-stain steel that is Friodur ice-hardened for increased ability to hold an edge and take sharpening. The classically styled handles feature the strength of a full tang and triple rivets, while the enhanced bolster adds to the beautiful balance. Henckels recommends washing and drying all fine knives immediately after use. Made in Germany, the knife comes with a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

These durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife for stability and durability. The impeccably balanced super bolster provides weight and adds balance for safer and more professional cutting.
