A Muddled Thoughts- Holiday Gift Guide: J.A. Henckel Twin Cermax Line Chef’s Knives
The J.A. Henckel Twin Micro Chef's Knife doing what it does best.
The biggest testament I can give to J.A. Henckel’s Twin Cermax knives is they survived two months of heavy use and transportation in my bar kit.
My goal with taking a look at these knives was to find a set of two knives that would cover all the needs of today’s bartender or mixologist. With the set of the Twin Cermax 6 inch Utility Knife and the 8 inch Chef’s Knife I found just that. With both knives built so well you’ll never have to worry about reaching for someone else’s knife or being unprepared for any normally difficult to cut ingredient such as a pineapple, watermelon.
With that said and done, these two Henckel knives have survived the following memorable experiences with me.
Prep for several hundred cocktails to be served at Whiskeyfest NY 2009
A book launch party for Brian Van Flandern’s new cocktail book, Vintage Cocktails.
(In which several hundred drinks were served over the course of three hours. This involved a great deal of prep at which time the knives did not fail me once.)
Several United States Bartender Guild Events
Prep for several hours and several dozen bartenders creating on the fly cocktails at a “Cocktail Jam” at Astor Center.
The Twin Micro Chef's Knife at Work in the Kitchen at Astor Center
And of course several months of becoming my go to knives for any prep work needed prior to testing out recipes for A Muddled Thought
The Twin Micro Utility Knife at Work in prep at the Kitchen of Astor Center
Throughout each of these events and experiences, neither of these knivesever failed me.
The quality and build of everything from the blade down to the very handle of the knives is built to last and to survive anything thrown at them.
