Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 3-Inch Hollow Edge Kudamono

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 3-Inch Hollow Edge Kudamono Review



Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 3-Inch Hollow Edge Kudamono Feature

  • German high-quality carbon, no-stain steel
  • One-piece blade with hollow edge to help reduce food sticking to blade
  • Triple-riveted handles
  • Precision honed for longer blade sharpness
  • Friodur ice-hardened blade for longer lasting sharpness and easy resharpening
This 3-inch kudamono parer from the Professional S series provides the excellence expected from Zwilling J.A. Henckels, the upscale partner of Henckels International. The Professional S series blends traditional handles with precision-honed, state-of-the-art blades. This particular paring blade features the hollow edge of the Japanese-style kudamono knife. Due to air pockets along the edge, food falls away from the blade more easily, resulting in exceptionally thin slices. In addition to chopping fruits and vegetables, the parer is also adept at slicing soft cheeses that stick to most blades.

Professional S knives are constructed of premium German high-carbon, no-stain steel. Blades are Friodur ice hardened for increased ability to hold an edge and take resharpening. Classically styled handles feature the strength of a full tang and triple rivets, while an enhanced bolster adds to the balance. Henckels recommends washing and drying all fine knives immediately after use. Made in Germany, the kudamono parer comes with a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

From the Manufacturer

The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series features trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling--it’s a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chef’s, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered.

A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction

Twin Pro S 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 Pro S 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 Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels’s Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use

J.A. Henckels’s Twin Pro S knives boast a comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design that won’t wear against the hand and helps to provide control when doing any cutting task. 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.
