Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin L Kitchen 2-Piece Set
Customer Review: Decent shears and a thin paring knife
Summary: 3 Stars
J.A. Henckels have two major lines. Zwilling J.A. Henckels knives are made in Germany using higher quality stainless steels (except the Twin Cermax line which is made in Japan), and J.A. Henckels International knives are made from non-German countries using lower quality steels. This Henckels Twin L Kitchen 2-Piece Set is made in Germany with a good stainless steel.
Knowing the paring knife is made from a decent steel and this set is on sale ($15), I decided to make this purchase. Unfortunately, the construction of this parer is not what I expected. I have no problem with the steel quality. I have no problem with the fact that it is a stamped knife which I knew. My complaint is the fact that the blade is thin, which makes it too flexible and flimsy. I can easily bend it without much force. Part of the reason for its thinness is that it is a flat ground knife. The blade tapers all the way from spine to edge. If it is made from Japanese hard steels, then a thin blade is desirable, but this is not. Due to its thinness, this parer performs well for very delicate jobs like cutting soft cookie dough, deveining shrimps and peeling apple skin. However, it is not sturdy enough for peeling hard skinned fruits, trimming meat, cutting baby carrots or brussel sprouts. In my experience, this knife is not very sharp out-of-the-box and certainly not "razor sharp" as others have experienced. It may be sharper than some unknown brand parers, but this Henckels parer, coming out-of-the-box, was not as sharp as my Wusthof Blackwood and Shun Classic knives. I had to sharpen it a bit on my own, but it can take on a good edge. In my opinion, this parer worth about $5.
The shears are decent. They are micro-serrated, so they will cut well for a long time before you need to sharp them. They are held together by a screw-able pivot screw. This allows the blades to be taken apart and sharpened. Not that the shears cannot be sharpened otherwise, but it does make the task much easier. I really appreciate this as I free-hand sharpen my knives with different flat whetstones (diamond and water stones). $15 for this set is not a bad deal because of the shears.
I would give the parer a 3-stars rating and the shears a 4-stars rating. As a set, I am giving it a 3-stars rating. To be honest, this is not a totally bad purchase. Some may even prefer a flexible paring knife, but it just isn't what I want.
