All Henckels knives are manufactured from the very best material to the highest of standards to produce a professional range of kitchen knives. They are perfectly balanced, with ergonomic handles and are durable, easily sharpened, with corrosion resistant blades. We always advise that all knives should be hand washed and dried immediately, in order to prevent any corrosion to the blade.

Zwilling Henckels have used their own patented technology in the production of these knives – Friodur ice hardening and Sinter Component Technology (SCT), and are so confident in the quality of these knives, that they offer a lifetime guarantee on all their knives.

The Sinter Component Technology, which was innovated by Henckels, is a process in which the three components, the tang, bolster and blade, can be produced by the best grade of steel, and then be combined to produce a single piece of metal.

Henckels have several ranges of Knives available: Four Star, Five Star, Professional “S”, Twin Select, Twin Cuisine and Twin Cermax.

The Four Star range consists of 24 pieces, all designed for professional chefs with perfect handling in mind. Manufactured with a fully synthetic handle, it is designed to provide the best in both hygiene and comfort.

The best way to care for your knives is by storing them safely in a knife block or rack, and by keeping them sharp. A sharp knife is a safe knife. We offer a large range of knife sharpeners from manual and electric pull-throughs, designed to take the guesswork out of sharpening, through to whetstones and steels for the more confident cook or professional.

Sharpening your Knives

Pull-through sharpeners are a safe and foolproof way of keeping your knives honed and sharp. The Henckels Twinsharp is preset at the correct angle and requires little effort to bring all knives back to a near factory finish.

The Henckels Whetstone is a combination whetstone, meaning that each side is a different grit, one for very blunt or nicked blades, and a finer finish for honing and maintainance. Care must be exercised when using whetstones to ensure the angle is correct to avoid damage to the blade.

Henckels also produce and supply sharpening steels for use with their knives, and are available in either: steel , ceramic , or diamond coated

Each material will do the same job to as high a degree as any of the other method described above.
