Featuring an ice-hardened FRIODUR blade with a precise 15° edge angle and 57 Rockwell hardness, it delivers long-lasting sharpness and resilience.

## Description

Honed and Hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the knives' laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these three rivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives. This is a classic French chef's knife, with a broad blade and a curved cutting edge for rocking through a chopping task. The 8-inch blade suits most cooks, though those with small hands might prefer a 6-inch knife, and those with bigger hands might choose a 10-inch one. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of knives this size and larger combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use Features.

Review: This is a great knife! Sharp, well made, just the right weight and good grip.
Review: Excellent very sharp knife. Great for cutting tomatoes and onions. My previous Zwilling 5-inch knife was losing its edge after 20 years. I took it to a guy that sharpens knives but he ruined it. No worries I bought another one and expect it will serve me well just like the last one. Very high quality. Don’t hesitate this is worth every penny.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this made? Germany?**
A: The chefs knife was made in Germany. In my opinion The Henckels made in Germany are the best choice, and the other ones, made in Spain are second. Ones made anywhere else and you might save your money and get Chicago Cutlery.

**Q: what is the blade width?**
A: At the handle the blade is 1 and 13/16" high.

**Q: Is there a case available for the Henckel 8" chef's knife?**
A: I am sorry but we do not provide a case for this knife. Any 8" sheath made for chef's knives will fit.

**Q: Does this knife arrive sharp, ready to use or must it be sharpened on stones before first use?**
A: My knife arrived sharp and ready to use. However, I have ruined one in the past by sharpening it with a stone. I now use a sharpener that you draw the knife through and it works very well.
