Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 10-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef's KnifeCustomer Review: Henckels 10-inch Chef's knife Summary: 4 StarsThis knife has 2 noticeable drawbacks:
1) Not as sharp as it can be right out of the box.
2) Spine edges are too sharp - sharp enough to cut yourself. I will have them smoothed out.
FYI: 8-inch chef's knife suffers from the same issues.
Also: 10-inch is exactly the same weight as 8-inch. The spine of 10-inch is noticeably thinner than the spine of the 8-inch. However, after using it I cannot say it is a drawback - the knife feels right, not too light, not too heavy. There is very little flex.
That being said knife does deserve a solid 4. It is very convenient to slice hard cheeses from the large wedge - 8-incher sometimes was too small for this. You definitely need to be very careful with it and you will need a cutting board that is large enough.
Description of J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 10-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef's KnifeThe professional choice for chopping, dicing, bias-cutting, and slicing. Knife handle is rocked up and down with one hand while the fingers of the other rest lightly on the back of the blade towards the tip. This is a classic French chef's knife, with a broad blade and curved cutting edge for rocking through a chopping task. Its 10-inch blade suits strong and/or big-handed cooks; those with smaller hands might prefer an 8- or 6-inch knife. 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. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of larger knives 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; 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 chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer | The J.A.
