Henckels uses a high-tech welding process to form the knives in its first-rate cutlery lines. This process combines three types of high-carbon stainless steel into a single piece so that each part of a knife-blade, bolster, and tang-performs optimally. This 8-inch serrated bread knife easily slices a crusty loaf. Shaped like a gentle wave to fit the hand snugly, the ergonomically designed handle contains a full rat-tail tang and is fully watertight with no gaps. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, it should be hand washed to protect the edge. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. -Fred Brack From the Manufacturer The Twin Select range is a master blend of function and design.

The single-piece blade, forged from high-carbon, no-stain steel and strengthened in Henckels's exclusive Friodur ice-hardening process, retains its sharp edge through extensive cutting and chopping. Made in Germany and covered by a lifetime warranty, Twin Cuisine knives are dishwasher-safe but are best cared for when washed and dried by hand. When sandwiches are called for, the Twin Cuisine 5-inch serrated utility knife does just about everything. The serrated edge is especially adept at slicing through tomatoes and avocadoes, as well as crusty baguettes and hard salamis.
