Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-Piece Steak Knife Set with Box Review

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-Piece Steak Knife Set with Box Feature

• 4-1/2-inch serrated blades slice steaks, chops, roasts
• Made of high-carbon stainless steel with synthetic handles
• Wood storage box has hinged top, two snap closures
• Dishwasher-safe knives; made in Spain
• Lifetime warranty against defects

From one of Henckels' moderately priced cutlery lines, these eight steak knives divide any rib eye, chop, or roast into bite-size pieces and then store in a handsome wood box. The thin, curved blades are perfect for precise cutting, although their fine serrations tend to tear meat fibers rather than slice neatly through them. Stamped from high-carbon stainless steel, the knives are lighter in weight than forged knives and don't have bolsters, which might not be essential when confronting a thick prime rib. The synthetic handles feature classic three-rivet styling with full tangs for strength. The storage box is stained a rich auburn. It has brass hinges and snap closures and measures 15-1/4 inches long, 1-3/4 inches high, and 5-5/8 inches wide. The knives are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-Piece Steak Knife Set with Box

• Eight 4-inch serrated steak knives in beautiful wood box make great gift
• Stamped from high-carbon stainless steel with 18/10 stainless-steel handles
• Box has glowing, deep-auburn, mahogany finish and brass clasps
• Knives perfect for matching stainless-steel flatware at dinner table

Packed in a beautiful wood storage box, the eight knives in this set slice steaks, chops, or roasts and, because they're stainless steel, they match stainless-steel flatware at the dinner table. The knives have 4-inch blades cleverly angled to prevent wrist strain while applying maximum pressure. The edges are serrated so they do tend to tear meat fibers rather than slicing cleanly through them as straight-edge steak knives do. Stamped from high-carbon stainless steel, the knives have 18/10 stainless-steel handles and are dishwasher-safe. The storage box is heirloom quality, with a glowing, deep-auburn mahogany finish. Knives rest in wood slots at an angle that makes them easy to retrieve. The box measures 15 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 1-3/4 inches deep and has brass clasps. For each sale of this gift set, Henckels makes a five-dollar donation to Share Our Strength, an antihunger program initiated and supported by U.S. professional chefs. --Fred Brack A percentage from each sale of the steak knives will be donated to Share Our Strength anti-hunger program in the United States.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 12-Inch Honing Steel

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 12-Inch Honing Steel Review

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 12-Inch Honing Steel Feature

• 12-inch steel realigns knives' blade-edges
• Long enough to hone all knives
• Hanging loop on black poly handle and finger-guard
• Wipe with dry cloth, if necessary
• Lifetime warranty against defects

This honing steel serves a vital role by realigning, or "resetting," kitchen knives' edges, which bend this way and that when contacting a cutting surface. (Often called a sharpening steel, or "butcher" steel, a steel doesn't actually sharpen a knife--unless it's a "diamond" steel.) Consisting of a rod of hard steel-alloy with a tough synthetic handle and a steel finger guard, this steel works well and looks better than most hanging close at hand, where you can employ it frequently—ideally each time you use a knife. That prevents a blade from becoming dull and prolongs intervals between professional sharpenings. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steel's 12-inch rod hones all household knives. The steel carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack Henckels sharpening steels are the key to keeping your knives sharp. In order to sharpen a knife, the steel must have a hardness factor greater than the knife to be sharpened; with a Rockwell hardness factor of 66 degrees, Henckels sharpening steels are harder than even super hard Henckels FRIODUR, ice-hardened blades. To easily sharpen a knife, hold the steel point down on a table or cutting board, at an angle between knife and steel of 20 degrees, pull the knife down and across the sharpening steel in a slight arc. Alternate between right and left sides of the knife 3 to 4 times. All steels are magnetic to hold small particles removed from the knife blade and are made of chrome-plated carbon steel. A sharp knife will provide maximum safety. Use the sharpening steel regularly, preferably every other time the knife is used

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 10-Inch Stainless-Steel Carving Knife

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 10-Inch Stainless-Steel Carving Knife Review

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 10-Inch Stainless-Steel Carving Knife Feature

• Slices roasts, poultry, and ham
• High-tech welded, high-carbon stainless-steel blade
• Black synthetic, three-rivet full-tang handle
• Made in Germany
• Lifetime warranty

This knife's thin, 10-inch blade makes any fine-slicing job a breeze and handles all big carving jobs easily. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. Handles are also smaller, a feature those with small hands may appreciate. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of knives this size and larger combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this carving knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack
