Henckels Knives Information

It's over 275 years since Peter Henckels first registered the Zwilling Twin Logo. From the first office opened by Johann Abraham Henckels in Berlin, J.A. Henckels has become a large international company. A limited edition Four Star knife set is available to mark the occasion.

Always at the forefront of new technology and standards, special materials and processes developed by J.A. Henckels have improved steel quality, corrosion resistance and blade sharpness. Henckels knives will last you a life-time, unlike cheaper knives they will stand up to rigourous use, washing and sharpening. They are very well balanced and comfortable to hold even for longer periods of use.

The Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT) process developed in 1992 was developed by J.A. Henckels allows differing grades of steel to be combined to form a single integral piece. In this manner the three parts of the knife, the blade, the bolster and tang, are made from different types of steel each of which is the optimum grade for that part of the knife. The result is a knife that sets standards that other manufactures try to follow.
