J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 3-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set

J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 3-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set Review



J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro 3-Piece Stainless Steel Knife Set Feature

  • Special serrated edge never needs sharpening
  • Three-piece knife set: 8-inch chef's, 5-inch utility, 3-inch paring
  • High-grade, rolled stainless steel capable of withstanding extreme stress
  • Polypropylene handle is impact and shock resistant
  • Dishwasher-safe, but hand washing preferred
This three-piece set of knives benefits from J.A. Henckels's 260 years in the cutlery business. The 8-inch chef's knife is a popular all-around knife for slicing and chopping, while the 5-inch utility knife will easily slice and dice smaller items, and the paring knife is great for peeling apples or slicing potatoes. They're made from high-grade, rolled stainless steel, produced using Henckels's own Sintermetal Component Technology. This process allows different grades of steel to be combined to form a single integral piece capable of withstanding extreme stress--each part of the knife is made from the grade of steel with the optimum characteristics for that component. Cutting edges feature a specially designed serration pattern, ensuring prolonged sharpness without resharpening. The full-length tang (meaning the metal continues all the way through to the end of the handle) gives you a better-balanced and stronger knife. The polypropylene handle with rustproof rivets is nearly indestructible. It's dishwasher-safe, but be careful that the blade doesn't touch other objects; hand washing is recommended to keep steel blades scratch free. --Doree Armstrong Henckels Eversharp Pro Three Piece Kitchen Knife Set: Model HK-08336. Includes 3" paring, 5" serrated utility and 7" chef's knives. Micro-serrated stainless blades never need sharpening. Visible tang. Triple riveted polypropylene handles. Hang packaged. Made in Japan.

Wusthof 8001 Under-Cabinet-Swinger Knife Storage Block

Wusthof 8001 Under-Cabinet-Swinger Knife Storage Block Review



Wusthof 8001 Under-Cabinet-Swinger Knife Storage Block Feature

  • Stores knives off the counter surface
  • Swings in and out from under the cabnet with a touch of a finger
  • Holds 8 knives and a steel
  • Mounts with only 3 screws under the cabinet
  • Made of oak; 10-1/4 inches long, 7-1/4 inches wide, 3-1/2 inches high
When counter space is at a premium, this clever knife block stores cutlery underneath a kitchen cabinet. It mounts easily with a drill and three screws (included) that secure the block's "spacer" (a 1-1/4-inch-thick oak block) to the cabinet's bottom. Between the spacer, which ensures handles are comfortably lower than the cabinet, and the actual block are two steel plates connected to a pivoting device that permits the block to be rotated 360 degrees. Thus, when not needed, the block can be swiveled in any direction so knife handles don't protrude. When knives are needed, a push of a finger brings their handles from beneath the cabinet. Solidly made of oak, the block has eight slots for knives with blades up to 10 inches long and a ninth slot for a sharpening steel. Magnetic strips hold knives securely in their slots. The block measures 10-1/4 inches long, 7-1/4 inches wide, and, including the spacer, 3-1/2 inches high. --Fred Brack The Swinger block fits underneath the kitchen cupboard. It stores 8 knives and a sharpening steel. The block is on a swivel that easily mounts under your cabinet and swings out from under the cabnet so you can retreive your knives. A magnet inside of the block holds the knives securely.

The R.H. Forschner collection has grown in size and stature since its name was first carved in steel in 1855. Historically a premier choice of culinary professionals, it is still preferred by professionals today. Renowned for its extremely sharp, Swiss made, steel blades from Victorinox, R.H.

They are manufactured in Switzerland. The renowned rosewood handles feature a carved handle design with the unique beauty of natural rosewood and are extra durable. The fibrox handles feature a non slip, ergonomic design and are NSF approved. The blades feature a high-carbon no stain steel with the unique Victorinox polished surface and a taper ground edge. An extensive selection of professional butcher knives designed and used in food processing to choose from. Victorinox knives are conical ground on the full length of the blade as well as crosswise. This results in a wider break point with less risk of the blade breaking and less resistance for ease of cutting. A quality steel x50CR MO composition, with a rockwell hardness of 55-56 HRC for high edge retention. Also, R.H. Forschner's extensive series of fishing knives are utilized worldwide in the commercial fishing industry. Did You Know: A Granton edge, or "kullenschiff" edge, has hollowed out grooves on the sides of the blade. These grooves fill with the fat and juices of the product being sliced, which allows for thin, even cuts without tearing or shredding the meat.
