You'll appreciate the versatility of an Asian chefs knife. It can be used for a variety of slicing or chopping jobs.- This knife is unbelievably sharp and durable since it is forged from a single piece of stainless steel.
- The stainless steel you see in the Twin Cuisine handle is called a tang. The more tang, the stronger the knife.
- The exposed full tang looks great, but more important, is that it adds durability to the entire knife.
- Your hands are protected from the blade by a guard or divider between the blade and the handle, called a bolster.
- Made in the knife capital of the world Soligen, Germany
- Blade plus handle measures 10.5 inches
- High-heat forged from a single blank of stainless steel
- Ice hardened for extreme resistance to corrosion
- Full tang, which means the blade extends all the way to the end of the handle, giving the knife even more durability
- Rockwell hardness is 57. The higher the number the harder the blade.
- Lifetime warranty from Zwilling J.A. Henckels with normal use and proper care
- Made in Solingen, Germany
- MetroKitchen.com recommends washing your knives by hand; then immediately drying them. Do not let your knives soak in water.
- Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts. They may stain the surface of your knives.
- Always use a wooden cutting board to preserve blade sharpness. Cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass quickly dulls blades.
- To maintain a sharper cutting edge, use a sharpening steel, preferably each time after you've used a knife.
- It's best to store your Henckels knife so its edge and your fingers are protected, preferably in a block or in-drawer knife tray.
- We suggest using a meat cleaver when you need to cut through bone, otherwise you can damage your knife blade.
- Lifetime warranty from Henckels

The Zwilling JA Henckels Twin Cuisine 5.5 inch santoku Asian chef's knife with hollow edge slices meat, fish, and vegetables equally well. These three functions are why the knife is called a santoku, a word that means three virtues. Designed for the home cook, this German made chefs knife has a shallow belly and deeply dropped or curved point. The shape of the santoku knife helps you achieve a slicing motion that works best for most home cooks. The hollow pockets in the blade are designed to help keep foods, such as cucumbers, from sticking to the blade as you slice them. Backed by a lifetime guarantee from JA Henckels.
