Zwilling J.A. Henckels 6&quot Utility Knife

Gave as present

There are a lot of new 'High Tech' kitchen knives out that sell for $hundreds$. Even Henckels offers a variation on this theme. But for my wife's money, (the chef in the family), why mess with a good thing. We've had Henkels Twin Four Star knives for probably 20 years and to her they just feel right, hold and edge, and are effortlessly sharpened. So why did I buy her a Twin Star II instead of the older Twin Star? I liked the SS end cap.Upon inspection, the blade has been reshaped a little to be a bit broader toward the tip but otherwise it's a wonderful SLICING knife. It's the one knife she goes to more than any other; kind of a cross between a paring knife and a chef's knife, (so expect some fexability in the blade). The only thing I'd improve on is the length. 6" can be a bit short for some applications. So guess what I did, I bought her an 8" Twin Four Star II as well. Turns out she loves this one just as much :)

An unsolicited testament to J.A. Henckels: As a lifetime patron, I own various J.A. Henckels including carving sets, and exquisite, bone-handled steak knives. Some were inherited from my grandparents, and are now treasured antiques. Eventually, the steak knives had to be restored, as some of the handles had succumbed to time and use. Although Henckels' customer service was unable to help, I located a knife company that produced outstanding results...and now, they are like new!!!Jim Jackson

I would have liked better pictures of the knife, as I was not sure if this was a match for my other Henckels knives. However, the knife is nicely weighted, very sharp and easy to clean. A great product.

This knife is the ultimate in sharpness and versitility. Of course the Zwilling-Henckels (Z-H) name introduces one to the best in cutlery, but Z-H lives up to its name with this knife. This is the one sharp knife you don't want to be without. I love it and the rest of the set I purchased from Amazon.

Having used the original top of the lone Henckels Four Star series for years, I thought I`d try their new premium series. Have to say, while the debate will go one forever choosing between Wurstof and Henckel s cutlery, these are great knives. Be careful, they are (very) sharp and handle with extreme care.

Can’t speak of the other line of knives Zwiller makes, but the Four Star ll series are the best kitchen knives I have ever owned. I recently purchased the 4” Paring knife, 6” Utility knife and the 8” Chef’s knife.

This knife was to complete a 10 pcs. set of knives with a block for 11 pcs. The knife arrived first and my daughter asked it they were all coming one at a time! Expensive but finest quality. Very happy with the product.
