Product Description
The professional choice for chopping, dicing, bias-cutting, and slicing. Knife handle is rocked up and down with one hand while the fingers of the other rest lightly on the back of the blade towards the tip.
Amazon.com Review
This is a classic French chef's knife, with a broad blade and curved cutting edge for rocking through a chopping task. Its 10-inch blade suits strong and/or big-handed cooks; those with smaller hands might prefer an 8- or 6-inch knife. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of larger knives combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer  | The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series features trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling--it's a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chef's, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered. | | A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. 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. These durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife for stability and durability. The impeccably balanced super bolster provides weight and adds balance for safer and more professional cutting. | | Features - Sigmaforge one-piece precision-forged construction: Provides perfect geometry, high precision, and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness.

 Henckels 10-inch Chef's knife October 7, 2008
JoeSchmoe155 (NY USA)
This knife has 2 noticeable drawbacks:
1) Not as sharp as it can be right out of the box.
2) Spine edges are too sharp - sharp enough to cut yourself. I will have them smoothed out.
FYI: 8-inch chef's knife suffers from the same issues.
Also: 10-inch is exactly the same weight as 8-inch. The spine of 10-inch is noticeably thinner than the spine of the 8-inch. However, after using it I cannot say it is a drawback - the knife feels right, not too light, not too heavy. There is very little flex.
That being said knife does deserve a solid 4. It is very convenient to slice hard cheeses from the large wedge - 8-incher sometimes was too small for this. You definitely need to be very careful with it and you will need a cutting board that is large enough.
A staple in my kitchen. September 22, 2008

Henckels Twin Pro-S Chef's knifes are a staple in my kitchen. The 6 inch knife blade is my favorite. It is easy to hold, the weight and balance make preparing meals enjoyable and I feel like a professional. The edge stays sharp - Even though I should sharpen it more often than I do.
Another great Henckel product. July 18, 2008

My husband insisted on upgrading our knives and this is a very welcome addition to our kitchen. It has the capability of being able to be sharpened when it becomes necessary.
Great Knife May 26, 2008
Stefan Stoianov (blacksburg, VA, usa)
I finally decided to get top quality knife, to replace my Chicago Cutlery 8"
chefs knife (I got tired of sharpening it every other week).
It was supposed to come 5 days after it shipped, but I got it in two, it came in a nice black box, sharp and ready for work.
So far I can tell you it is worth every penny, now I can do large volume of work with little effort. Chopping, dicing, slicing etc is easy due to the heftiness and sharpness of the knife. I remember watching a video on YouTube of some guy slicing a piece of paper in very thin horizontal strips with a Shun, well let me tell you that this knife can do the same with ease.
The handle is very comfortable for me, I have large hands, but it fits perfectly well in them.
Blade is about 2 " wide, very sharp and can cut through anything with ease, for example I was able to cut onions in almost transparently thin slices. The heftiness helps a lot with cutting and when doing big volume jobs because it saves effort pushing down with the knife.
Balance is great,when I hold the knife with the pinch grip with two fingers right before the bolster it maintains perfect horizontal position. Size is also good, I didn't really expect it to have a mini-sword like look, but the definitely impresses.
Overall great knife well made and balanced, now I regret I didn't buy this in the first place but went for cheaper brand.
Best gift ever April 8, 2008
Ma Feliza J. Galang (Manila, Philippines)
I got this knife as a wedding gift 7 years ago in a set and have been using it every day...at least twice a day and it is just the best! Only after 6 years did I need to use a stone to sharpen them. I really only needed the sharpening steel. I love to cook and this knife makes prep easier and faster. It is well balanced and solid to hold without being too heavy. The only thing i noticed about the blade is that when i slice turmeric it sometimes stains the blade...but it comes out after 3 days or so of using and washing (hand wash only). I highly recommend this knife.
