Twin Pro S Slicing Knife (10-in.) by Zwilling J.A. Henckels

It is an excellent addition to anyone's cutlery sets. It does as advertised - can easily cut thin slices without tearing.

Bought one for myself and one for a gift.

Wonderful for any slicing needs you may have; it takes a little practice, but you can carve as thick or thin as you like.

I bought this knife for cutting whole pickled salmon into thin slices. I have yet to make the salmon again, but have used the knife on several pieces of meat and poultry. It slices easily and does a much better job than my other slicing knife.<br>The longer length took some getting used to, but the ease of slicing through large roasts makes it worth learning to use properly.<br>

The first time I used this knife, it cracked one third of the way through the blade one inch from the handle. I had just thin sliced some beef for french dips and it performed beautifully, then I tried to slice a piece of medium Cheddar, there was a noticeable sound when it broke. Cooking.com is supposed to be sending me another one, but so far it has not arrived. If I get another, I hope it is not defective like this one. I have normally bought Wusthoff Grand Prix in the past, which I have been very happy with. This is my first Henckels, and if this is the quality, I wont buy another, I just wish I had the money for the Shun's.
