Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star II 8-Inch Scalloped Bread Knife



An Everyday Bread knife

First off, a little about myself: I frequently make home-made breads and probably use this knife 4-5 times a week. I have owned this knife for about 4 months. I don’t really use the knife for anything other than cutting breads. This was purchased as an addition to a JA Henckels 4starII set.


Pros:

1) Build quality: The steel used to construct this knife is excellent quality with high strength. There is some minor lateral flex in the blade however this hasn’t caused uneven cuts. This is likely because of the thinness of the blade so I consider this a positive. When compared to other high quality knife sets such as Wusthof, this knife is noticeably higher quality build and feel in the hand.


2) Balance: The knife is well balanced with a center of gravity where the blade meets the shaft. It makes it easy to slice through thick breads.


3) Cutting ability: there isn’t any crust that this blade can’t cut through. Even my thick crusted french bread isn’t…

Very good knife

This is an excellent knife. It is extremely sharp and works very well. What set it apart from other high quality knifes, at least for me, is the handle it fills my hand perfectly which makes the knife easier to control. It is a pleasure to use.

Great Knife

Just what I was looking for. Great balance, nice grip and cuts bread. High quality steel that will forever look new. Plus arrived on time.

Masanobu sujijiki 10.5 Great knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.

TBCL Utility Knife 17 Centimeters

Image
took a chance on these knives I think $100 knives are hype so I took a chance on these more moderately priced knives and I believe it was worth it. They are the most expensive knives I have and now I have two of the utility knives (did give one away though), one of the boning knife, and one of the 15cm kitchen knife. You have to be careful with these knives because once they start cutting they will slide through, so you have to have good control and positioning or will cut yourself. The bad is that the one 17cm utility knife I’m using came with a not so perfect blade though it’s still very sharp. It has like three tiny knicks that are hard to see. The blades are thinner then normal blades but I was hoping the material be harder then this. Another problem is that even after washing/drying the utility knife after every use there is a tiny spot on the blade with a small discoloration in the metal. I wonder if it was used for something it shouldn’t have been used for or maybe the crafting
