Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-Piece Steak Knife Set with Box Review



Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-Piece Steak Knife Set with Box Feature

  • 4-1/2-inch serrated blades slice steaks, chops, roasts
  • Made of high-carbon stainless steel with synthetic handles
  • Wood storage box has hinged top, two snap closures
  • Dishwasher-safe knives; made in Spain
  • Lifetime warranty against defects
From one of Henckels' moderately priced cutlery lines, these eight steak knives divide any rib eye, chop, or roast into bite-size pieces and then store in a handsome wood box. The thin, curved blades are perfect for precise cutting, although their fine serrations tend to tear meat fibers rather than slice neatly through them. Stamped from high-carbon stainless steel, the knives are lighter in weight than forged knives and don't have bolsters, which might not be essential when confronting a thick prime rib. The synthetic handles feature classic three-rivet styling with full tangs for strength. The storage box is stained a rich auburn. It has brass hinges and snap closures and measures 15-1/4 inches long, 1-3/4 inches high, and 5-5/8 inches wide. The knives are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-Piece Steak Knife Set with Box
