The Twin Cuisine knives feature the company's Friodur ice-hardened blades for excellent cutting performance.All TWIN??

One 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. p 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.

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.

Well worth the money March 6, 2008
D. Litaker-Nall (Little Rock, AR)
My first time to purchase "nice" knives. I am so impressed I am buying the set for my parents and siblings. Can't believe I waited so long to buy them. I want the full set now.
