Everyday Cutlery

By Lisa VanWilliams

I finally broke down a bought a new all-purpose kitchen knife and it is an incredible feeling to be able to cut through things once again with precision, ease, and quickness. I have to remember to be careful with this tool, as it's not my old dull blade. I must have been using my old knife for 15 years and resharpening it every so often, til it was running out of blade to sharpen.
 
Zwilling J.A. Henckels is a company that has been offering classic quality German steel designs since 1895. They are headquartered out of Germany but have a U.S. location in Hawthorne, New York. They have one of the oldest trademarks in the world. The knife line is top of the line and great to work with. They also received high ratings in this Good Housekeeping knife product review article:

I picked out the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 6-Inch Utility/Sandwich Knife and it's ideal for "peeling, slicing, chopping, and carving". I found this knife at Chef's Equipment Emporium in Orange, CT. They have a great selection of different style and brands of knives there. You can also look up a local retailer on their website, or you can order on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Zwilling-J-A-Henckels-Signature-Sandwich/dp/B0000TPCWC/ref=sr_1_19?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1421864472&sr=1-19&keywords=zwilling+ja+henckels+twin
