J.A. Henckels Cutlery Knives | Zwilling Knife Block Sets

The Miyabi 600-S Vegetable Knife or Kudamono pares and preps vegetables and fruits. That sounds like a paring knife to me, but the Miyabi Morimoto vegetable knife actually tries to be something more.

Forged with a full bolster and full tang, the 3-1/2 inch kudamono knife uses the riveted black polymer handle ...

This 7-Piece Block Set from Miyabi includes four good knives from the Morimoto Edition of Miyabi's 600-S series.

This nicely balanced bread knife uses one blank of high carbon stainless ...

The Shotoh knife from the Miyabi Morimoto Edition of the 600-S series fits neatly between the paring knife and the utility knife with a slender point and fine edge well designed for wide paring tasks and delicate piercing work. The Morimoto Edition knife combines a Japanese style of blade with ...

Use the Miyabi Morimoto Edition 7-Inch Santoku for accurate slicing of fish, meat, and vegetables. The "three virtues" blade designed by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto slices, dices, and minces with a design that has roots in both European and Asian cultures.

The Miyabi Morimoto Edition 8-Inch Chef's Knife or Gyuto brings the refinement of a Japanese blade to one of Europe's favorite kitchen knife patterns.

The Miyabi division of J.A. Henckels came about when the company decided to team up with Iron Chef Rokusaburo Michiba. Combining German materials and German standards with Japanese styling and Japanese craftsmanship produced the 5000S series of hybrid cutlery. The 7000D series, including the Miyabi 7000D Santoku, comes closer to ...

Miyabi lists the 5000S Gyutoh 8-Inch Chef's Knife among their double-beveled blades, so don't look for the famous asymmetrical edge here. This is a standard chef's knife made with German steel. You'll find Japanese styling and Japanese craftsmanship as well as better cutting ability.

In the 5000S product line from Miyabi, ...

This small vegetable slicer or Usuba from the Henckels Miyabi 5000S series shaves vegetables and fruits perfectly and paper thin. Each 5000S knife is manufactured in Japan's Seki City, the area where the best samurai swords were once made.

Iron Chef Rokusaburo Michiba of Japan helped Zwilling J.A. Henckels develop the ...

The Henckels International Classic 2-Piece Asian knife set is much more European than Asian, but many chefs will appreciate the refinements of the santoku blade combined with the typical German craftsmanship.

Combine two of the best knife blades for the modern kitchen and you might get this knife -- the Henckels Twin Signature 8-inch Hollow Edge Chef Knife. Henckels kept the classic European Chef's knife blade shape and the riveted slab handle design, and added the mysterious hollow grind of the ...

The Henckels Twin Signature 3-Inch Kudamono Hollow Edge Paring Knife adds the hollows of a santoku to a thin, sheepsfoot-style blade. This would be a great paring knife even without the hollows.

Made from laser-cut high carbon stainless steel, the Henckels Kudamono fills out the full tang handle with slabs of ...

The Henckels Twin Pro S 3-Inch Paring Knife with serrated cutting edge should be teamed up with a good plain-edged paring knife, but there definitely are kitchen tasks where the serrated blade excels. Just don't expect peeling cuts to be smooth and flawless when clawed by this little beast.

Where you ...

The Miyabi 5000 series -- including the 5000S Three Virtues Santoku with 7-inch blade -- uses the same high carbon stainless steel as the J.A. Henckels Twin knives. Japanese craftsmen produce and finish these fine knives in Seki, Japan, where Japanese techniques are applied to meet strict German production standards.

The Henckels Professional "S" Hollow Edge Eight Inch Slicing knife is the blade to use when carving medium roasts, turkey, or hams.

Thick laser-cut steel and a cutting edge ice-hardened by J.A. Henckels' Friordur process makes the Twin Meat Cleaver strong enough for any tough chopping job in the kitchen.

The J.A. Henckels International Traditional 4-Piece Steak Knife Set uses natural hardwood handle slabs that many will prefer over the usual dark polymer versions. Plastic composites may have much the same look as finished wood, but knives with composite handles never have the same feel.

The International Traditional series features high carbon ...

The 17.5-inch Magna Bar from J.A. Henckels offers compact knife storage which fits neatly in nearly any kitchen. Make use of space you've never used before while keeping your knives close to hand. It's a fine idea for small kitchens where restricted counter space won't allow a knife block.

Triple-riveted polymer handle slabs enclose the full tang of the one-piece drop forged knife set with the durability and practicality of Henckels prep knives. The ...

For most chefs, the sharpening steel is the preferred method of resetting and honing the edges of good kitchen cutlery. Ordinary honing steels do little more than reform the edge of dulled blades. If damage goes beyond slight dulling to rounding and blunting, reworking with a stone might be the only ...

The Henckels Classic series still uses the steel alloy developed by J. A. Henckels for its distinctive high performance cutlery. This unique blend of carbon, chromium and other trace elements creates the backbone of this drop forged carving set. A slim carving knife with an eight-inch blade backed up by a stout six-inch ...

Something as simple as a honing steel seems difficult to improve, but this ten-inch honing steel from the Henckels Twin Four Star series has a few more things to like. First, it's made with steel hard enough to tune the high carbon stainless in the Four Star knives. Not ...

Henckels International products differ considerably from the traditional Henckels knives. The first impression here is lightweight -- compared to the heavy forged blades from the German branches of the company. The 7-piece International Fine Edge Pro comes from Japan, and the construction methods use stamped steel and welded handles -- ...

Along with the high-tech Twin Select knives in this 7-piece Block Set, Henckels gives the home chef room to expand with four unused slots and a space for kitchen shears in the oval granite-finished hardwood block.

It's unlikely that you'd find many knives from this Henckels budget/entry level line in professional kitchens, but for the casual home cook, a starter set for a young cook, or as a set for the "vacation" house, this set would make a fine choice.

I'm not typically fond of "sets," but ...

This Henckels Twin Select Santoku with a granton blade shows the company's idea of what a good knife should be, and does not exactly copy the familiar Japanese design. Some of the good ideas from both cultures are expressed in this high quality knife.

This handy knife sharpener, the Twinsharp from J. A. Henckels, is designed to do the same job as a honing steel without all the flash and flourish. Although the hardened steel and ceramic wheels of this gadget will do a fine job of resetting the edge of even old knives, ...

These stamped knives from Henckels aren't of the same quality as their "forged" lines. They're lighter and thinner, which as a rule makes for a more efficient knife, but they're definitely not as robust as the forged knives from Henckels -- so I'd suggest they're a bit more appropriate for ...

Although there seem to be plenty of happy owners of this 16-slot knife case from J. A. Henckels, I can only recommend it as a temporary solution. The bag has a nice look and a reasonable amount of space with the layout you'd expect from a good knife case, but ...

These Henckels Kitchen Shears, forged from Henckels' usual Solingen stainless steel, feature short high leverage blades and composite polymer handles. Lightweight but strong, the handles are unbreakable. Steel inserts allow them to be used for loosening jar lids.

Under the decorative red cap that joins the jaws is a screw ...

This black graphite finish wooden storage block from J. A. Henckels was designed for the TWIN Select series but will fit many other brands as well. The space age styling will go well with modern kitchen decor, but consider whether the block has the capacity for the knives you use daily.

This ...

The 8 inch serrated blade of this stainless steel Bread Knife from J. A. Henckels makes short work and smooth cuts of both hard crusted bread and soft pastries. Don't be tempted to use it as a carving knife even though it can definitely handle that work.

The serrated edge is special purpose, ...
