Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 2-Piece Asian Set
Customer Review: Deceptive Picture
Summary: 3 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Henckles. I think they are the best knives on the planet. However I feel like I got ripped of with this set in particular.
The picture shows what I believed was a kudamono parer. So I was very suprised when it arrived to find a typical 4 inch parer which was exactly the same as the one I received in another set I bought. But when you read the description, it IS listed as a 4 inch parer, which is what I got. I suppose I should have paid closer attention to the details, but the picture showed what I wanted and I thought the description was just describing what was pictured.
I just wanted to write this review so no one makes the same mistake I made. The knives themselves are the best I've ever had.
Description of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 2-Piece Asian Set
Twin Cuisine is the latest addition to the J.A. Henckels family of fine cutlery. The knives in this set are one-piece precision forged, with excellent cutting-edge retention, corrosion resistance, and an exclusive ergonomic handle design. The 5-inch holOne of the newest premium lines from Zwilling J.A. Henckels, Twin Cuisine was introduced in 2004 with a major revelation: it's the first high-quality forged cutlery line to feature a molded handle with a visible, full-length tang that runs horizontally. In fact, the handle is absolutely stunning, with the shiny tang curving slightly as it courses through the black nonslip polypropylene. With no rivets or gaps, the ergonomic handle provides seamless comfort, while the full tang adds weight for precision balance. The single-piece blade, forged from high-carbon, no-stain steel and strengthened in Henckels's exclusive Friodur ice-hardening process, retains its sharp edge through extensive cutting and chopping. Made in Germany and covered by a lifetime warranty, Twin Cuisine knives are dishwasher-safe but are best cared for when washed and dried by hand.
This two-knife set consists of a 5-inch, hollow-edge Asian-style chef's knife called a santoku, and a four-inch paring knife. The santoku, once unusual, is now a standard kitchen knife in many American homes because of the popularity of sushi and other Asian delicacies. Hollowed-out ovals along the razor-sharp santoku edge reduce friction during cutting, resulting in paper-thin slices of fish, meat, or vegetables. The sharply pointed parer is a necessity in any kitchen for peeling and slicing fruits and vegetables, and carving creative garnishes. Together, the knives make a superb set for the chef who especially enjoys preparing Asian cuisine. --Ann Bieri

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
Twin Cuisine knives are traditionally forged from a single piece of J.A. Henckels?s exclusive high-carbon, no-stain steel formula. The result is a knife with high durability, professional strength, and weight. Twin Cuisine also uses J.A. Henckels?s Friodur ice-hardening process, which results in a blade that has excellent cutting-edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade edge is precision honed and laser controlled to maintain a sharper and consistent blade angle.
New Ergonomic Handle Technology
 | The Twin Cuisine handle features exclusive new and innovative handle technology: a full horizontal tang without rivets. High-impact polypropylene is bonded with J.A. Henckels?s high-carbon, no-stain steel, resulting in a remarkably comfortable handle with a smooth shape and no gaps. The world-famous Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo is etched on the end of every Twin Cuisine knife handle, indicating its quality. |
