J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 8-Inch Hollow-Edge Chef's Knife Overviews

The J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 8-inch hollow-edge chef's knife is perfect for chopping, dicing, and slicing. Because of its special hollow edge, this knife will break the friction at the cutting edge to ease slicing. The hollow edge allows air between the blade and the item you are slicing, keeping food from sticking to the blade. Like all J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine knives, this chef's knife is one-piece forged with excellent cutting retention and corrosion resistance, and it sports an exclusive ergonomic handle design.

J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 8-Inch Hollow-Edge Chef's Knife Specifications

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.

A fabulous blend of a Western chef's knife and an Asian santoku, this large 8-inch knife features both a pointed tip and a hollow edge. Able to rock better than a flat-bladed santoku, this knife is excellent for mincing as well as slicing and dicing. Hollowed-out ovals along the razor-sharp edge reduce friction during cutting, resulting in speedier release of food and paper-thin slices of fish, meat, or vegetables. An all-round general workhorse for any kitchen, the knife measures 13-1/2 inches in overall length and makes a superb gift for the chef who enjoys preparing all types of 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, the 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 many styles for numerous 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 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.

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.
