To complete this set, other knives in this collection are sold separately. An innovative approach in cutlery, this santoku knife has a special fluorinated-resin green coating that won't rub off when following these cleaning recommendations: handwash in warm, soapy water then completely dry by hand - never use a steel scouring brush or cleanser.

J.A. Henckels International Classic Stainless-Steel Meat Cleaver

By: J.A. Henckels
Our price: $35.95

  • Chops through joints and bones
  • 6-inch forged stainless-steel blade
  • Black plastic, three-rivet, full-tang handle
  • Made in Spain
  • Lifetime warranty

Product Description

Meat and poultry can be intimidating. But with the right tools, you can slice right through the whole prep process. Chop through joints and bones in seconds using this board blade with professional-caliber weight and balance. Lifetime warranty.

Product Description

Quickly reduce a cooked chicken or duck to bite-size pieces with this instrument. Or use it to butcher any kind of meat or poultry. It's heavy, the way a cleaver should be, so it does the work for you. The blade has a hole in its top corner so it may be hung on a hook or peg. Henckels' International Classic is a moderately priced cutlery line made in countries other than the company's home of Germany. The steel is of lesser quality than that used in its premier lines. Also, the handles are narrower and shallower--a feature those with small hands might appreciate. While this cleaver is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

Global 5-1/2-Inch Vegetable Knife

By: Yoshikin
Our price: $61.95
List price: $62.00
You save $0.05 ( %)

  • Lightweight, precisely balanced 5-1/2-inch knife for slicing, chopping vegetables
  • Blade made of high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel
  • Edge retains razor sharpness exceptionally well
  • Stainless-steel handle molded for comfort, dimpled for safe grip
  • Lifetime warranty against defects and breakage

Product Description

This 5.5-in. Vegetable Knife has a unique blade shape that encourages the cook to perform a slicing motion. A great all purpose knife for those with small hands or those that feel more confident working with shorter blades. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.

Product Description

High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 5-1/2-inch knife for precisely slicing and chopping vegetables is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety.

Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Fred Brack

Product Description

With their laser-controlled edges and durable blades, Henckels Twin Signature knives deliver quality and precision without maxing out the budget. Twin Signature knives feature high-carbon stainless-steel blades that have been stamped from a single piece of metal and put through the patented Friodur ice-hardening process to ensure their strength.

Product Description

A heavy cleaver is an extremely useful kitchen tool for splitting poultry, disjointing meat, and cutting through rib bones with utmost efficiency.

If you find yourself sawing at joints to section poultry or repeatedly hacking spareribs to separate or cube the bones, then this model is for you.

Part of the Classic series, this cleaver represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this cleaver brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners. --Arthur Boehm

J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 7-Inch High-Carbon Stainless-Steel Santoku Knife

Our price:
List price: $95.00
You save ( %)

  • Chops, minces, slices, and dices
  • High-tech welded, high-carbon stainless-steel blade
  • Black synthetic, three-rivet full-tang handle
  • Made in Germany
  • Lifetime warranty

Product Description

Possibly the best chopping knife you'll ever own. This Henckels Professional Santuko Knife has a redesigned bolster and handle that provides perfect balance and easy handling for better performance. The commercial-quality forged, hand-honed blade is made of Friodur high carbon, ice-hardened no stain steel. Full tang with superior edges. Classic, triple-riveted styling.

Product Description

This is a Japanese chef's knife, a low-tip style with a broad blade and slightly curved cutting edge. For Asians, this knife is the same kitchen workhorse the French chef's knife is for Europeans. Its cutting edge is less curved, so it provides little rocking action, but for straight-down slicing and precise chopping, it's superb. Its 7-inch blade can be manipulated by cooks of any hand size, and its balance should please. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines. Handles are smaller, a feature those with small hands may appreciate. Pro S knives this size and larger are high-tech welded to combine three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this santoku knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels's Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use

J.A. Henckels's Twin Pro S knives boast a comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design that won't wear against the hand and helps to provide control when doing any cutting task.

Dexter-Russell S5198 Chinese Chef's Cleaver 8-in.

By: Russell Harrington Cutlery
Our price:
List price: $43.50
You save ( %)

  • Material: High Carbon Stainless Steel
  • Size: 8 x 3.25-in.
  • Weight: .65-lbs.
  • Origin: USA
  • Cleaning & Care: Handwash in Mild Cleanser

Product Description

Walk into the kitchen of any Szechuan or Cantonese restaurant in America and you're likely to find this American-made knife. An excellent lightweight tool, its 8"-by-3??" blade is beautifully manageable. It minces and slices--and can it shred lettuce! Use it to crush garlic, tenderize meat, and slice scallions, carrots, and anything else that might find its way into your next stir-fry.

Product Description

There isn't really a good substitute for a cleaver when cutting through bones or thick cuts of beef. They tend to work best when they're extremely heavy--half the work is done by the weight of the knife, rather than the cook's upper body strength. The blade here is a full 8 inches long, and the knife weighs about 1 pound, which is hefty enough to tackle most bones, yet still manageable. The handle is solidly crafted and comfortable, and the weight falls right in the center of the blade--a place many chefs prefer. Hand wash this knife, and be careful--when wet, it gets very slippery and a bit difficult to handle safely. --Jill Lightner

Product Description

The Japanese version of the chef's knife, the santoku is useful for straight chopping, mincing, and slicing of larger quantities of vegetables and meat. Cooks with smaller hands may prefer this 7-inch blade as the shorter length offers better control while cutting. The width also provides a great platform for transporting chopped vegetables from cutting board to sauté pan.

Part of the Four Star series of cutlery, this santoku has a fully forged high-carbon stainless-steel blade. The blade, bolster, and tang are welded of one piece of metal using Henckels' Sinter Metal Component Technology, which distributes the right quantities of metal to each part of the knife. The result is a longer-lasting edge and a more consistent angle on the blade. The blade has also undergone Henckels' Friodur ice-hardening process, which further strengthens it and protects it from discoloration. The black polypropelene handles offer a secure and comfortable grip and are hygienically attached so there are no gaps between the handle and blade for food to become trapped. This santoku should be hand washed and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
