good find, bread knife limited uses

Henckels international line are generally mediocre knives--they are the lowest quality line available from the company (other than for the so-called eversharp ones).

Read the desription and you will see that it says "stamped". High quality blades are "forged". The company's best lines are made in Germany. Spain is used to manufacture cheaper lines and God knows where the $10.00 stuff is made.

If you want a quality knife, buy the Henckels Pro S line. Fantastic quality and makes cooking a joy. Once you use those, using the lesser lines are impossible. I LOVE my knives.

GooberedUp I will have to disagree with you about these knives, I cook for a living and bring my lesser expensive knives to work and I have had a henckel international 8 inch chefs knife for a couple years now that I use only at work. It is made in Spain and although it is much lighter than all other henckel line of knives, its hardly mediocre. It holds its edge quite well and I would put it above alot of middle of the line knives such as chicago cutlery and forschner. This is a good price on a good knife.

I will agree. What I meant to say was the International Fine Edge Pro knives are the cheapest, which the bread knife discussed here is.

The international are better than just mediocre. But, I have to disagree with your assessment of Forschner. I own various pices of all three brands (including some Henckels International steak knives), and I would rate them in order as Henckels Pro S, Forschner (Rosewoods--don't know about the others) and a tie between the Chicago Cutlery and Henckels International. Forschner, in my opinion, is FAR superior to the CC and HI. I would rate the Wusthoff and Henckels lines as the best with Forschner a close second (but as a leader in cost/quality).

 

[shaddow]

Well I have to disagree again, in my opinion Wusthoff and Global are the two best lines of knives with henckel being not far behind. If you are not familiar with global then you should try one, they are lighter than any line of wusthoffs and the japanese steel is excellent.

 

[GooberedUp]

No, I won't disagree again. The Globals are between the Henckels and the Wusthoffs. I only had the European knives in my head while we were discussing this. Similarly, the famous french knives (can't think of the brand name right now) rate at about the same level as that of the Henckels in my opinion. I think some people prefer them, but I like the heft of the German ones (or Swiss for Forschner I suppose).

 

[GooberedUp]

Also, Kasumi and Kyocera (ceramic) knives should be thrown into the mix then as well. I haven't used either brand, but have seen them in the knife shops (there's a real nice one on Michigan Avenue in Chicago).

Cutco anyone?

<< Cutco anyone? >>



too expensive

 

[shaddow]

I worry about using a ceramic knife because of durability and cost , it's alot easier to break the tip off a ceramic knife than a knife made from german or japanese steel. Accidents happen and i would hate to break something that cost so much

Monowire!!! Ah, the old Cyberpunk days....

One of our friends was looking for a job, and decided to work for Cutco as a saleswoman, she suckered my fiance into buying a Cutco utility knife and a vegetable peeler.

I've been trying for months, but, my fiance still won't tell me how much she paid for the damn things, all I know is that it was well over $50

As for the knife, well, I cut stuff with it. It works okay I suppose, but, I don't know what the big deal is
