However, this line is an improvement on the original, offering the weight, balance, and style of a commercial-quality knife, while meeting current design trends and performance expectations.

Edges are still as low-maintenance as ever and never require sharpening. The blades have full tangs that extend through lightweight bakelite handles and are triple-riveted for strength. Ginsu covers these International Traditions knives under a limited, lifetime warranty and recommends manual cleaning with hot, soapy water to keep them in top shape.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener Review



Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener Feature

  • Suitable for all knives with a fine edge
  • Comprises two modules: one for coarse sharpening and one for fine sharpening
  • Rubber feet prevent skidding on the counter top
  • Measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall
  • Works well for both right- and left-handed people
Henckels Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won't skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper. Stylish stainless steel. Hard sharpen is easy and efficient to use. 2 module positions will restore even the dullest knife edge. Full instructions included in box.
