Henckels Five-Star 8-Inch Chef's Knife

The professional choice for chopping, dicing, bias-cutting, and slicing is the super-sharp 8-inch cutting edge and ergonomic handle of this top-notch chef's knife. Knife handle is rocked up and down with one hand while the fingers of the other rest lightly on the back of the blade towards the tip. Crafted in Solingen, Germany, this knife is made of a combination of ice-hardened carbon and stainless steel for edge retention, rust-resistance, and durability. It effortlessly chops through any vegetable, fruit, or whatever comes in its path.

Cutting with this knife is like slicing through butter, with no resistance to hamper the controlled descent to the cutting board. When it's time to sharpen the broad blade, it responds well to both a sharpening stone and steel. The ergonomic polypropylene handle fits comfortably in hand, facilitating strain-free use. The metal bolster acts as a finger-guard, while the blade, bolster, and tang are fused into a seamless piece for easy handling and balance. The absence of rivets and recesses in the synthetic handle allows for dishwasher use.

To care for this knife properly, hand wash it with a mild soap, rinse well, and immediately dry. The TWIN® Five Star range combines sharpness and ergonomic design, merging the famous Henckels' blade with an ergonomic molded handle for comfort and safety. Precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon, no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard, these knives offer quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The J.A. Henckels' Friodur ice hardening process enhances corrosion resistance, contributing to cutting-edge retention.

The Five Star® series features high-impact polypropylene handles permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps, ensuring durability and sanitation. The super bolster adds weight, insures safety, and provides balance for precise cutting. The knives also utilize a full rat-tail tang for proper balance and greater strength. With an 8-inch blade perfect for chopping vegetables and herbs, patented Friodur stainless-steel corrosion-resistant blade, and a polypropylene ergonomic handle for hygiene, balance, and safety, this knife is backed by a lifetime guarantee. It is also safe to use in the dishwasher.
