Description of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 2-Piece Deluxe Asian Set

This two-knife deluxe set consists of a 7-inch, hollow-edge Asian-style chef's knife called a santoku, and a 3-inch kudamono hollow-edge 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. The kudamono parer is a smaller version of the santoku, excellent for fruit and vegetable peeling, slicing, and garnishing. Both feature hollowed-out ovals along the razor-sharp edge to reduce friction during cutting, resulting in paper-thin slices of fish, meat, or vegetables. Together, the knives make a superb set for the chef who especially enjoys preparing Asian cuisine. --Ann Bieri

From the Manufacturer

Twin Cuisine is the first quality forged knife to combine the comfort of a truly ergonomic, molded handle with the precision weight and balance of a full horizontal tang. Plus, Twin Cuisine?s exclusive, award-winning patented handle design is a new standard in fine cutlery (U.S. design patent #D524,121). The series is available in a variety of styles for a variety of cutting tasks. Twin Cuisine is also available in a variety of block sets and gift sets. The Twin Cuisine series truly is a masterful blend of form and function.

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction

Twin Cuisine knives are traditionally forged from a single piece of J.A. Henckels?s exclusive h-gh 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.
