Product Description
-------------------
Honed and Hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the
knives' laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp. The sturdy
bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard.
Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these three
rivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling.
Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of
these impressive knives. This is a classic French chef's ,
with a broad blade and a curved cutting edge for rocking through
a chopping task. The 8-inch blade suits most cooks, though those
with small hands might prefer a 6-inch , and those with
bigger hands might choose a 10-inch one. Classic three-rivet
handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines,
TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and
its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line
is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech
welding of knives this size and larger combines three steel types
into what appears to be a single piece, so a 's parts have
distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant
bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang.
Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but
Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the
steel. While this chef's is dishwasher-safe, hand washing
is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer A Reliable
Standard in Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision
forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon,
no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a

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 Pro S knives

a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. An
