Henckels, Twin Cuisine was introduced in 2004 with a major revelation: it's the first high-quality forged cutlery line to feature a molded handle with a visible, full-length tang that runs horizontally. In fact, the handle is absolutely stunning, with the shiny tang curving slightly as it courses through the black nonslip polypropylene. With no rivets or gaps, the ergonomic handle provides seamless comfort, while the full tang adds weight for precision balance. The single-piece blade, forged from high-carbon, no-stain steel and strengthened in Henckels's exclusive Friodur ice-hardening process, retains its sharp edge through extensive cutting and chopping. Made in Germany and covered by a lifetime warranty, Twin Cuisine knives are dishwasher-safe but are best cared for when washed and dried by hand. The blade on this Twin Cuisine 2-3/4-inch parer is straight on top and curved underneath, much like a boning knife. As a result, the knife is adept at not only peeling, slicing, and garnishing fruits and vegetables, but cuts away bone from small pieces of uncooked meat or fish. With its substantial handle and thin, elegant blade, the knife is a pleasure to use for not only basic but creative tasks and makes an excellent gift for any seasoned or aspiring chef. --Ann BieriFrom the Manufacturer Twin Cuisine is the first quality forged knife to combine the comfort of a truly ergonomic, molded handle with the precision weight and balance of a full horizontal tang.
