TWIN Cermax – Cutting the Japanese Way

The finest sushi and sashimi, wafer-thin radish, finely sliced ginger – the Japanese cuisine turns cutting into a form of art. No wonder that Japanese chefs are jealously guarding their knives like a treasure. Now is the chance to experience the real joy of working with an “Asian style” chef’s knife: ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS is launching TWIN Cermax, a knife series that leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to sharpness and cutting properties.

TWIN Cermax cuts wafer-thin slices with precision. It doesn’t matter whether fish, meat or vegetables, TWIN Cermax glides through all ingredients sheer effortlessly.

ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS has scored a spectacular success with TWIN Cermax: in addition to the typical Japanese blade design, Japanese hand honing and the blade hardness of 66 Rockwell also add to the necessary sharpness. Thus TWIN Cermax is a high-quality product among the top-grade Japanese knives.

A special triple-layered blade structure (Clad) – a corrosion-resistant stainless steel on the outside and the core made of the ultra-tough MultiCarbide powder steel – guarantees long-lasting sharpness. This way TWIN Cermax not only has an exceptionally hard blade but one that is well armed for the tough demands in the kitchen.

ZWILLING J.A. HENCKELS uses Micarta as TWIN Cermax’s handle material, a high- tech material made of linen and synthetic resin. It is highly robust but at the same time very comfortable to hold. Micarta’s distinguishing features are the unconditional form stability and the elegant wood-like image. The outstanding ergonomics and perfect balance allow for long-lasting and tireless work.

The TWIN Cermax series comprises six types of knives: the paring knife (100 mm blade), the petty knife (130 mm), the slicing knife (160 mm), the Santoku knife (180 mm) and two chef’s knives (200 and 240 mm).
