The right tool for the jobAug 15, 2007
By Joseph Boone
Until recently, I used a standard chef's knife to fillet fish. I didn't realize at the time but it was also a very poor quality knife that wouldn't hold an edge. As a result, I found myself literally sawing away to cut through the fish and the cutting the skin was almost impossible. Finally, I wised up and decided to try to educate myself a bit and go shopping for a better solution. What I found was the Twin Cuisine line from Henckels. Here is a knife that is super-sharp, made from specially hardened steel, and designed to hold an edge for as long as possible. Cheap? No. Quality? Yes. Quite simply, you get what you pay for.
This fillet knife slices through fish and skin like they aren't even there. The weight feels just right in my hand, and the balance is superb. It's so smooth and easy to handle that it just amazes me every time I use it. The closest thing to a flaw is that it's so sharp that you really have to be careful how you handle it... and that's not really a flaw at all, is it? This is a great knife and I recommend it with no reservations.

 Great knife, lousy handleJan 17, 2012
By Patrick
This is just a quick warning about the Twin Cuisine design for all those that are interested.
Four star for the cutting ability of the knife, One star for the handles,(Because you can't click no stars)
I have been involved with the restaurant industry for some thirty years now as a Chef, management, designer, contractor etc... So I know good from bad when it comes to restaurant products.
About four years ago I decided to purchase a new set of knives. Henckel being one of my top choices, based on previous experience and ownership.
I settled on the Twin Cuisine because I liked the larger handle and overall weight of the knives and the look. Full length tang, no rivets and a more robust design of the handle. I purchased from various vendors on Amazon a compliment of around nine knives of various lengths and cutting styles. I also got two sets of the Twin Cuisine Steak Knives.
Speaking for the knife, (cutting portion) they are a great set of knives. They keep there edge, (as long as you hone them) and I think I have only had to sharpen them a few times over the years.
Now for the handles. Every one of these knives the handles are cracked, not cracking.... cracked. From my 10" chef knife to the steak knives. There is definitely a flaw in the plastic used to mold these handles. I have found references on other forums about this problem with the twin cuisine so buyer-be-ware.
Although they are warrantied for life the hassle is you have to send them in one at a time to Henckel, which frankly I have not taken the time to do, and it can take them up to eight weeks to deal with the warranty.
