Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels Twin Select 4-Inch Paring Knife
Customer Review: Another snapped knife
Summary: 1 Stars
I received a set of these knives as a gift about 3 years ago. My blade snapped just as described in the other reviews. I saved the snapped pieces for a while, but decided I probably wouldn't follow through with what was likely to be a difficult customer service experience (didn't have any proof of purchase, etc.). Went on today to order a replacement, and realized that 1) this was a very generous gift (thanks Mom, and now I wish I'd kept the pieces) and 2) any replacement I ordered would be subject to the same problem. This is disappointing since I'd like to have a knife that matches the rest of the set.
Description of J.A. Henckels Twin Select 4-Inch Paring Knife
y Distinguished by 18/10 stainless-steel, satin-finish handles, Twin Select knives embody Henckels's world-renowned craftsmanship. Henckels uses a high-tech welding process to form the knives in its first-rate cutlery lines. This process combines three types of high-carbon stainless steel into a single piece so that each part of a knife--blade, bolster, and tang--performs optimally. This center-point-style, 4-inch paring knife is ideal for cleaning, trimming, peeling, and slicing small fruits and vegetables. Shaped like a gentle wave to fit the hand snugly, the ergonomically designed handle contains a full rat-tail tang and is fully watertight with no gaps. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, it should be hand washed to protect the edge. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred BrackFrom the Manufacturer

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction
Twin Select 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 Select 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 Select knives use J.A. Henckels?s Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.
New Ergonomic Handle Technology
 | The Twin Select series features comfortable, ergonomic stainless-steel handles that accommodate each hand size while improving function, convenience, and safety. These patented handles are hygienic, colorfast, and break-proof (USA Patent #5791055). The quality of Twin Select can be recognized by the Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo featured on the end of the handle. |
