What J.A. Henckels Has to Say About Their Knives

  J.A. Henckels Four Star Knives; Henckels Four Star knives are made from high carbon, no-stain steel and crafted using the FRIODUR ice-hardening process for maximum blade strength and a long-lasting edge. Knives in the Four Star series feature full tang construction, a precision honed, laser controlled blade, balanced super-bolster, and a hygienic, slip-proof, polypropylene handle which is permanently bonded for seamless accuracy

J.A. Henckels Five Star Knives;    Henckels Five Star knives are made from high carbon, no-stain steel and crafted using the FRIODUR ice-hardening process for maximum blade strength and a long-lasting edge. Hygenic and slip-resistant, the polypropylene handles are seamlessly fitted to the bolster for safety and comfort during use. Knives in the Five Star series feature a special "no-corners" ergonomic handle for an especially comfortably grip and minimal fatigue of the hand. Full tang extends throughout the handle.

 J.A. Henckels Professional-S Knives;  Henckels Professional S knives are made from high carbon, no-stain steel and crafted using the FRIODUR ice-hardening process for maximum blade strength and a long-lasting sharp edge. Knives in the Professional Series feature a triple riveted Novadur handle with fully visible tang construction for proper balance and great strength.

 J.A. Henckels Twin Select Knives;  Henckels Twin Select knives feature FRIODUR ice-hardened, high carbon, no-stain steel blades that provide an extremely long-lasting cutting edge. The Twin Select Series is a masterful blend of sharpness and ergonomic design. The long and slightly curved 18/10 stainless steel handle is ergonomically designed for safe and comfortable use and has no seams, no gaps making it fully hygienic.

What I have To Say;                             As you can see J.A. Henckels offers a great selection of knives to choose from as well as serving utensils, cutting boards, sharpening steals and knife blocks for storage. There are 210 excellent knives in the five Henckels collections, which range from 14.95 for a Twin Select Serrated Slicer to 849.99 for a complete professional set. This is ideal for the beginner or even the professional chef.

J.A. Henckels has been manufacturing top quality knives since its founding in Solingen, Germany, more than 260 years ago. In my opinion you will find when you are searching that the knives and other kitchen utensils they offer are reasonably priced and outstanding quality. These knives are very popular and easy to find this is an important aspect if you eventually want to add more to a set you already have.

Kitchen knife sets also make a perfect wedding or shower gift or even a birthday gift for someone in your life that loves to cook. There is also a wonderful steak knife set or several different Carving Sets that come in beautiful Presentation Boxes for those hard to buy for people in your life.

 Whether you are buying for your self or a gift for someone you care for, I am sure you will be delighted with the durability and practicality of what ever you pick from the J.A. Henckels collection.
