The PROFESSIONAL "S" series are the classic knives designed for the professional kitchen. These knives are crafted using a proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected over the course of 280 years. Combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, the FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, stain-resistant, and less prone to chipping. They also retain their sharpness for longer.

Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the knives feature a laser-controlled edge that is incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these three-rivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives.

A crusty loaf yields easily to this tough knife, whose serrations are substantial enough to be considered "scallops" in knife-speak. The classic three-rivet handles distinguish the Pro S series from Henckels' other quality lines, such as TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. The Pro S handles are heavier, and the knives are less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines.

The high-tech welding of larger knives combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, resulting in distinct characteristics: a hard edge, a strong and stain-resistant bolster, and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. While traditionalists may insist on single-piece forging for strength, Henckels asserts that the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel.

The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series is trusted by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The line includes a wide range of knife types, from parers to bread knives, and is available in various block sets and gift sets to meet all your cutlery needs.

The Pro S knives are precision-forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, stain-resistant steel under the Sigmaforge standard. This results in improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The Friodur ice-hardening process further contributes to their corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention.

The ergonomic three-rivet handle design of the Pro S knives provides a comfortable and secure grip, while the impeccably balanced super bolster adds weight and balance for safer and more professional cutting. These knives are dishwasher-safe, although hand washing is recommended by J.A. Henckels.
