Review of J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 7-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Fillet knife

I have owned this particular knife for 5 years now and it is one of my favorite and most useful knives.As a professional chef, i own several boning and filet knives both curved, straight,and stiff and flexible.At 7 inches it is long enough tobe used for everything from trimming tenderloins to cutting through tuna loins. it has a decent heft and the handle is large enough to fit my hand (a problem i found in other knives) another feature i enjoyed with this knife is how smooth itis without any crevices to harbor microorganisms in its handle or bolster.My girlfriend on the other hand finds the blade a bit too long for use in our home. prefering the 5.5 inch pro s boning knife.I also enjoy the slight flex in the blade it allows me to use knife in situations suitable for either a flexible or a stiff bone.All in all it is extremely useful in a professional kitchen and not a necessity in a home kitchen but it is very nice to have in both settings.

Product Description

Larger knives are crafted using Henckels' exclusive SIGMAFORGE?? standard. Part of the Four Star series, this knife is made of high-carbon stainless steel and precision-honed, with a laser-controlled edge, a balanced super-bolster, and a tang that extends to the back of the polypropylene handle, which is permanently bonded for seamless accuracy.
