Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 2-Piece Deluxe Asian Set Feature

• Carbon No-Stain Steel
• Friodur Ice Hardened Blade
• Triple Rivet Handle
• One piece precision forged
• Great control and balance

Designed for the aspiring hobby chef, the Professional 'S' series provides the excellence expected from Zwilling J.A. Henckels, the upscale partner of Henckels International. The five-inch santoku knife starts with the traditional look of the three-rivet handle and adds a hollow-edged blade that's practically a necessity these days in Asian cooking. The hollows create air pockets that allow thin slices to fall away without sticking. Professional 'S' blades are superbly constructed of premium high-carbon, no-stain steel that is Friodur ice-hardened for increased ability to hold an edge and take sharpening. The classically-styled handles feature the strength of a full tang and triple rivets, while the enhanced bolster adds to the beautiful balance. Henckels recommends washing and drying all fine knives immediately after use. Made in Germany, the knife comes with a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

Global 1804/270 10-1/2-Inch Yanagi Sashimi Knife Feature

• Narrow 10-1/2-inch blade for filleting, slicing fish
• Provides clean, low-friction cutting
• Blade made of high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel
• Edge retains razor sharpness exceptionally well
• Traditional wood handle with ridge for secure grip

Thick at the back and blunt at the end, the narrow 10-1/2-inch blade on this professional-quality Japanese yanagi knife is designed to precisely fillet and slice fish. (Yanagi is the Western Japanese name; in Eastern Japan this type of fish knife would be called a takohiki--or tako--and would have a blunt end.) The shape, weight, and wood handle, which has a ridge to ensure a secure grip, are all traditional. But the blade is made of thoroughly modern, extra-hard, molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel so it retains its edge longer than high-carbon stainless-steel blades. For clean, low-friction cutting, the edge is "face-ground" on the right side only with a long taper at an acute angle and comes from the factory razor sharp. This knife should be honed only with a synthetic whetstone or a ceramic whetstone and hand washed. --Fred Brack 1804/270 Yanagi are traditional sushi knives traditionally used in the northern regions of Japan. Characteristics of a sushi knife are a very long blade with a slightly curved belly, and the 10 1/2 Yanagi Sashimi Knife has a slight dropped point resulting in a midline tip. Features: -Bunmei knives date back approximately 150 years. -Handmade quality. -Bunmei features the single-sided grind that is distinctive of Japanese chef's cutlery. Specifications: -Material of Knife: Blade made of high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel. -Material of Handle: Bamboo. -Dimensions: 12'' D. -Cleaning Care: hand-wash . Cleaning Information! Sharpening Information! User Guide! More Information on Bunmei Knives: Bunmei knives are produced by the same manufacturer that produces Global knives, Yoshikin. Bunmei knives do not represent a recent innovation so much as they represent an innovation from another time. Bunmei knives are traditional Japanese knives. This style of knife dates back approximately 150 years. The features and various shapes of traditional Japanese knives were greatly influenced by Japanese cuisine. Today, Japanese professional chefs still use this style of knife. In the United States, more and more of the top chefs are using traditional Japanese knives like Bunmei. The major difference between traditional Japanese knives and the more familiar western style of knives is obvious at a glance. Traditional Japanese knives are sharpened with a one half to three quarter inch bevel on just one side. In almost all cases, western knives are sharpened with a one thirty second to one sixteenth inch bevel on both sides. The reason for the one-sided edge on the Bunmei knife is too improve sharpness. The large beveled one-sided edge is much thinner than a two-sided edge. It may help you to visualize this in your mind if you think of a one-sided knife as a knife sharpened on both sides and then sliced down the middle from the spine of the knife to the edge to form two thinne

From the Manufacturer

TWIN® Cermax M66 fulfills every knife lovers' dream. Special MicroCarbide Powder Steel ensures that the blade is as sharp as a scalpel and exceptionally hard. (The Cermax line measures 66 in the Rockwell Hardness Test.) The ergonomic handle is made from the latest, state-of-the-art technology and materials suggested by top Japanese Iron Chef, Rokusaburo Michiba. TWIN® Cermax M66 knives are crafted in Japan and are complemented with an attractive gift box.

A Different Standard in Blade Construction:

Traditional steel can have uneven carbides of varying size, but TWIN® Cermax M66 blades are constructed with a core of special MC66 Steel (MicroCarbide) powder steel. This special steel is even with refined carbides and is developed by atomizing molten steel into micro powder, then compacting it under high pressure. The result is a hardness of 66 Rockwell and a sharper cutting edge. The MC66 core is covered by innovative CLAD material which protects the extremely hard core, thus minimizing any chance of corrosion or breakage. The cutting edge is exceptionally sharp due to the Asian edge angle and the hand honing process.

It's All in The Grip:

The revolutionary 3-rivet, full tang, Micarta handles are made from linen and synthetic resin compounded by pressure and heat. Micarta's distinguishing features are the elegant, wood-like appearance and smooth finish. These perfect ergonomic handles have been developed in cooperation with top Japanese Iron Chef, Rokusaburo Michiba. A top quality end cap features the Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo, which is world renown as a symbol of quality.

Global 3-Inch Peeling Knife

Global 3-Inch Peeling Knife Reviews

Global 3-Inch Peeling Knife Feature

• Precisely balanced 3-inch knife for cleaning, peeling vegetables and fruits
• Blade made of high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel
• Edge retains razor sharpness exceptionally well
• Stainless-steel handle molded for comfort, dimpled for safe grip
• Lifetime warranty against defects and breakage

High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global's original knives have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives, Global also makes a European-style "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty cutlery--like this 3-inch paring knife for cleaning and peeling vegetables and fruits. Global also dispensed with bolsters on most of its knives, including this one. Most Global knives have hollow handles, but the handle on this knife is solid.p Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a sharpening guide rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. I--Fred Brack/I The two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced. The most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the Global edge is truly its signature. The majority of the Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade like western style knives. However, their edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled resulting in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter inch or more up from the tip of the knife. To balance their knives, Global uses a hollow handle which is then filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. Global uses this method rather than using a full tang and a bolster to balance their knives for two reasons. First, it is a far more precise than using a tang and a bolster. Second, Asian knives typically do not have bolsters, since they only serve as a hindrance to cutting and sharpening.
