One of the newest premium lines from Zwilling J.A. 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 non-slip 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’ 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 three-inch kudamono hollow-edge paring knife is a smaller version of a santoku knife, which proves to be excellent for fruit and vegetable peeling, slicing, and garnishing. The parer features hollowed-out ovals along the razor-sharp edge that reduce friction during cutting, resulting in paper-thin slices of fish, meat, or vegetables. This knife make a superb addition to the kitchen of a the chef who enjoys preparing Asian cuisine. –Ann Bieri
