Henckels Chef's Knife:
J.A. Henckels has been manufacturing fine cutlery since 1731. Made in Solingen, Germany, its knives are forged, not stamped. Blade density is improved using the FRIODUR ice-hardening process, which provides a sharper initial edge for easier maintenance over time. Larger knives are crafted using Henckels' exclusive SIGMAFORGE® standard. Part of the Four Star series, this 10-in. Chef's knife is made of high-carbon stainless steel and precision-honed, with a laser-controlled edge, a balanced super-bolster, and a tang that extends to the back of the polypropylene handle, which is permanently bonded for seamless accuracy. Dishwasher-safe.
Features of SIGMAFORGE® knives are:
New one piece construction
High forging precision
Higher stability of blade
Perfect geometry
Improved steel structure for less metal fatigue
Improved cutting-edge retention and lasting sharpness
Improved weight and balance
FRIODUR® ice hardened for maximum no-stain properties and more blade strength
by Sarah (Kihei, HI) 1 review The Henckels chef's knife is an excellent weight, comfortable in the hand and enables even amateurs to increase their knife skills. This was a decent price and was sent out promptly with a short delivery time. I would highly reccommend this knife and the service of Cooking.com
by M Gerald (Honolulu, HI) 1 review This knife is awesome! Great balance, excellent edge that makes one want to just to chop, slice, julienne just for the fun of it.
by Sandra (ALLEGANY, OR) 1 review I've known for years that I wanted this knife but had a hard time finding this size. I could have ordered one from a local kitchen store but would have paid litterally twice as much as I paid at Cooking.com. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the price.
As for the knife itself, who could ask for more! As I cook fresh foods from scratch, a lot of cutting, chopping, mincing, dicing and slicing goes on in my kitchen. This knife has made my work much simpler and my time more effecient. It holds a great edge and when I do need to sharpen it, only a few swipes of the steel is required. I would reccomend it to any serious cook.
I plan to collect a full set of Henckles and you can bet I'll be ordering them from Cooking.com.
Would purchase again
