Customer Reviews

you like bread?4
if you like bread and don't cut it 24h hours a day, buy this knive instead of the 4 star version.

why?

- the twin select are nice sharp knives
- it is a bread knive, you don't use it so often like a chef knive!
- the handling is fine
- it's cheap

I own 2 twin selects and 4 4 stars. And must say the handling of fourstar is better and you want to have the filet knive or chefs knive from this series, or better some japanese knieve ( way sharper, but hard to maintain, I'm lazy), but for cutting bread, go with this one, the handling is not so important for cutting bread, and it does'nt squeeze my ciabatta or french bread!

My Son says its the best knife ever!4
I sent this knife to my son who is a baker by profession--he loves this knife. It doesn't mash the bread and cuts through crusty crusts! I higly recommend it to anyone.

Henckel Bread Knife5
Was pleased that the Henckel Twin Signature Bread Knife met the quality and craftsmanship expected of this manufacturer. Cuts easily thru bread and is excellent for slicing tomatoes and onions. Excellent buy

Customer Reviews

sharp knife, great design5
This knife looks better in person than in the pictures. It's sharp, looks cool, and is thin enough to cut easily.

Good quality for what you pay for.5
I got this (and the set of synergy knives -- different product) for my mom as a gift. If you can spend the money to get the twin series or better with Henckels, then go for it, but the Synergy line is a great second-rate knife that Henckels makes, as long as you avoid putting them in the dishwasher. I really don't know why they bother using "dishwasher-safe*" as a selling point, since they don't recommend it in the first place.

The blades will keep their sharpness, and the molded handles, even though they're made of plastic, are dense and have some good heft to them, which I like in my knives.

Henckel knives5
Great knives. Highest quality. I have a complete set and they are the best knives I have ever used.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Classically shaped (center-tip style, with curved back and edge), this knife comes in handy at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In the afternoons, when no one is looking, it'll slice open a package. Henckels' International Classic is a moderately priced cutlery line made in countries other than the company's home of Germany. The steel is of lesser quality than that used in its premier lines. Also, the handles are narrower and shallower--which the small-handed might appreciate. While this parer is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

perfect...especially for the novice.5
First, I preface my review by stating I am not a professional chef, nor am I a very experienced cook, but in fact I am a novice who enjoys learning to cook. My parents have the entire set of the same Henckels International Classic set and thus this is the only set I had ever really used for most of my short cooking life. I presumed all knives were like this and this is the norm. Well, I recently moved and also recently had been cooking at friends and family's houses who don't have this set of knives...well let me just say, I now know the importance of a good set of knives. The knives cut cleanly and easily, leaving clumsy people like myself less opportunity to injure themselves. So, one of my first purchases in my own place was of course the same set of Henkels International Classic knives that I had "grown up on." (The store near me didn't have a complete set, so I bought this little paring knife essentially to complete the set.)

I should also say that in choosing a set of knives, I called the Henkels company to ask about the difference between this set and the Henkel Pro or 4 star. I was told that the difference is in the weight and that this set is a little lighter than the pro and also that this set is designed in Germany but built in Spain. The staff was very friendly and told me honestly that unless I was a professional chef or professional cook that I really did not need to spend almost double the money on the pro and that the international set would be quite sufficient and perhaps even more appropriate.

I would recommend this set and this company to anyone and everyone especially the novice...because good and safe cooking starts with a good set of knives.
BTW I don't compliment companies easily.

Affordable quality5
Henckels is known for making quality knives and that quality is even evident in this less expensive line of knives. I always hesitated to spend $20-$30 on a paring knife, but no more! I have been using this knife daily for nearly two years. I have others, but always pull this one out. The size is perfect and it's easy to handle. The notch formed into the end of the handle keeps it from slipping out of your hand, especially when working in water in the sink. Occassional sharpening keeps it like new.

My new favorite knife!!5
This knife was bought for me by my husband from my wish list for Christmas to replace my old Henckels that accidentally got broken (trust me it took alot!) It is much heftier than the old one and took a few uses to get used to, but this knife is GREAT and for the price, just can't be beat. I'm one to take my knife with me when I travel, as I tend to cut myself when using "foreign" (Inlaw's) knives. So this one will be now travelling with me every summer and of course is my "daily driver"!!
Love, love, love this knife!!

Amazon.com Review
High-quality knives need tender loving care, which is why the most recognized name in knives, J.A. Henckels, makes a case for storing and transporting the cutlery tools of the trade. And this black vinyl carrying case is so slick, you might want it for a handbag. Two silver, briefcase-like locks secure it; there's a luggage tag for identification and a strong handle for easy carrying. Inside, canvas pockets hold up to 16 knives or other must-have tools in place. It measures 20-1/2 inches long (to fit the lengthiest French knife and steel), 8 inches high, and 3 inches deep. There's also one long zippered pocket on the exterior for storing slim items, such as shopping lists for the gourmet on the go. --Lynne Sampson

Customer Reviews

Okay, but...3
Having never purchased a knife case like this before, I have no concrete basis for my rating. However, in the few months I've owned the case, I can say that there just HAS to be a better way to carry your knives around. This one doesn't seem to hold them securely enough, as they occasionally "rattle" during transport (and, if you're not careful, they could fall out of the case). It's serviceable, but I expected more.

nothing but the best for my babies5
I've had my knife case for almost 12 years now, and it still keeps up with the abuse that comes with my profession as a chef. It was given to me by the knife sharpening guy as a thank you gift for the business, i had given him. Day in night out, it has been reliable, and worn well (even though it looks as good now as it did then)This case keeps my babies, (yes i said babies) save and sound, everyone has become accustomed to seeing me with my knife bag, where i go, they go, and even though i've had my henckel 4 stars for much longer, the case still gives them the ohhhs and awwes, from being protected. This is a must for the serious.

Excellent for the fisherman, hunter, hobbyist or chef!5
My daughter purchased the knife case for my birthday. I am an avid saltwater fisherman and, as such, need an assortment of knives, cleaning tools,and sharpening steels. I have many different shapes and sizes. This case is absolutely the best. It is designed wisely and is constructed very well. I thoroughly recommend it.

Good set. Great price.5
I purchased this three piece paring knife set in addition to a more expensive Henckels paring knife J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Paring Knife. This set is good quality. Stamped on the blades are the words "German Stainless Steel" and "Made in China". They have a good sharp edge and a textured, shaped plastic handle that provides a good grip. The package says that the knives are "stamped one-piece blade construction for strength and durability". It also says that the handles are "fully closed polypropylene", "breakproof, dishwasher safe, and hygienic." They are lightweight and have a nice finish on the blades.

Nice knves5
Great set of paring knives. They are very sharp & do well after several trips in the dishwasher.

For the price, an amazing set of knives.4
I have owned knives with riveted handles for as far back as I can remember. While they are fine for Chefs Knives and Utility Knives, I have never liked their bulky feel for paring knives. After using some "As Seen On TV" knife with a similar ergonomic handle I was hooked on the feel and decided to purchase some new paring knives.

My only complaint would have to that the edge, right out of box, felt a little rough. They cut well enough, but on tougher foods I felt it was grabbing a bit too much. Five minutes on the Lansky Universal Sharpening System quickly corrected that, though.

They may not be the best knives you have ever used, but for the price I could hardly ask for more. I certainly don't foresee replacing them anytime soon.

Dull cutlery is dangerous cutlery. One of the easiest ways to maintain sharp edges on your fine cutlery is to store the knives in a block. An added benefit is that your knives are conveniently ready and waiting for the next time you need to carve a roast or julienne some veggies.

Good quality for the price5
The knife block is made in Malaysia with typical hardwood. Nothing fancy. It's good for the price. What matters is that 19 slots, especially a slot for a cleaver that I really need it. It holds 2 santoku knives very well. The 8 steak knives slots are very useful that use to store paring and peeling knives instead. Also easy to acccess and grab the knives. It looks big in the picture and it is a lot bigger than my old standard block, but it doesn't take much more room since I put it in the corner. Happy that I bought it.

Excellent packing and shipping5
This knife block was very good quality, and was very well packed. I received it very shortly after I placed the order. I bought this for my daughter who requested one for her birthday present. I had a lot of time to research this on the Internet and found out a lot about knife blocks. One thing is that it's hard to find one without the knives included in the sale. The other is to find a high quality wood and large enough holes because I didn't know what sizes her collection included. I finally chose the one with the best wood (my son-in-law does a lot of wood restoration around their house), the largest one with the most and largest holes, and one with the least advertising on it so they could display it out on their counter where they wanted it. This served all purposes and she was very very pleased with it! I kept the receipt in case she wanted to return it, but she loved it and was using it the very next day.

excellent utility piece5
After years of storing knives in a drawer, putting fingers at risk in searching for the right one, and dealing with consistently dull or damaged cutting edges, I finally decided to "sacrifice" some counter space for a knife block. This one is perfect! My steak and utility knives fit in the front lower slots and are easily accessible. (However, my set of large steak-house style knives have blades that are too wide for the lower slots.) The upper portion of the block holds everything else, including wide-bladed vegetable knives and very long serrated blades like bread knives. The angle of the block is just right for the counter height, neither too high nor too low. The knives set well into the block and don't rattle about or risk spilling out onto the counter. The block is heavy enough that it never moves as I remove or return knives to it. It's great! Just as advertised.
