J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 10-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef’s Knife


Product Description
The 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.Amazon.com Review
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

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

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.

    My husband insisted on upgrading our knives and this is a very welcome addition to our kitchen. It has the capability of being able to be sharpened when it becomes necessary.

    This knife is beautiful, and cuts/chops/slices perfectly. As I see another reviewer write, “it is all the knife you’ll ever need.”

    When holding it, the weight and balance of the knife is very agreeable. And when in use it satisfyingly tackles any culinary task.

    I bought this knife for my boyfriend who cooks alot. He loves it! Only thing is that it could be sharper. Overall, great knife and I think worth the price!

    I’ve always wanted a good chef knife and now I have a great one. It’s well balanced and nice and heavy. I can cut paper thin slices of fresh tomatoes with ease. What more can you want? I’m think of getting the 6″ version now.

    I took the knife out of the box, and went ahead to try a tomato. I was amazed to find that it has a hard time with it. Checked my 3 year old never sharpened Mighty Mac (mind you it’s a stamped knife and not forged), and without any issue it sliced right through it, so did my cheap Arcos knifes.

    For over a hundred dollars… What a disappointment, this one is going back promptly, and I’m gonna check out the equivalent Wusthof (and test their claim to fame, and no I’m not a fan).

    If this was my first PRO knife i might have been excited, but I know you can do a lot better for your money
