Product Description

In a shin bone soup the meat delicately falls from the bone after being simmered over time. But for those occasions when you have to separate meat from the bone, cooked or uncooked this knife is the ideal tool. The tip looks like a delicately bowed half spear; its point lies on the end of a straight spine where it's met by a cutting edge that rocks up to a 40-degree angle to the tip. This allows for deep accurate cuts.

Amazon.com Review
With a flexible blade that bends around big bones and joints, this knife will fillet a trout but works best with poultry and meats. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. Handles are also smaller, a feature those with small hands may appreciate. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. While this boning knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

From the Manufacturer

The J.A. Henckels Twin Professional S (or Pro S) knife series features trustworthy quality and classic three-rivet styling--it’s a line of knives admired by both professional chefs and home cooks of all skill levels. The Twin Pro S line contains knives for all tasks, including the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, steak, chef’s, Granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Twin Pro S knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets, to be sure that your cutlery needs are covered.

A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction

Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels’s Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.

An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use

J.A. Henckels’s Twin Pro S knives boast a comfortable, ergonomic three-rivet handle design that won’t wear against the hand and helps to provide control when doing any cutting task. These durable Novodur handles are perfectly bonded to the full tang on each knife for stability and durability. The impeccably balanced super bolster provides weight and adds balance for safer and more professional cutting.

Customer Reviews

Wow great knife!
This is the knife that most cutlery sets leave out (oh, and the Santoku as well), and I highly recommend getting one. It really makes deboning so much easier- especially on chickens and turkeys. I deboned a turkey in no time, especially appreciating the extreme sharpness and flexibility of the blade.

I have a mix of Wusthof Classic and Grand Prix knives, but settled on this to 'match' my Classics. There's no difference between the Pro S and Wusthof Classic in terms of performance, but I preferred the lower price tag and shorter length to its Wusthof analogue.

Multi purpose knife!
This knife is greate for deboning chicken, but its also perfect for cutting up hot dogs, chicken nuggets and other small items. I like the blade, the way it is cut and it is light weight and easy to use. Extremely sharp! Probably one of my favorite kitchen items.

IT DON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS, FOLKS
Whenever you buy Henckels Pro S knives you know you are getting the very best. They have other types (Four Star, Five Star, etc.) but the the Pro S handle stands out simply due to the construction of the handle, the only one that is a harder type of poly PLUS the handles are RIVITED, giving it a toughness second to none. The Five Star knives have the same good knife edge (don't get the Four Star...the edge isn't as good and doesn't hone as well) but lack the rivited handle as the Pro S. True, the Five Star is more "ergonomic" in handle shape, so if that is what you are after, go for it. But I don't see THAT much difference...I want the rivits!

I have tried the other names and Henckles beats them all so don't try to save a few bucks.

As for this particular knife, if you can only spend the money for ONE good utility knife, go for this knife. I use it for paring as well as for all other kinds of uses except for things that require a chefs knife or cleaver...it isn't only for boning and filleting. In fact, I don't think I have ever boned with it, (I own three of them since my husband and I both cook together and we are always fighting over who is going to get this little knife, so here I go getting another one. Hopefully the fighting will stop now!

You should always invest in the Henckles honing/sharpening stone when you buy your first Henckels knife...DON'T EVER GET ANY OTHER STONE...they are totally inferior, trust me. And don't get fooled into buying any other device for honing either.

When you first receive your stone and knife, give the knife a few long strokes (both sides) on the stone to get it at top performance from the start, wipe with a clean, damp cloth, dry and you are on your way.

...Get this knife and you will NEVER look back...or purchase any other type of kitchen knife again. I would rather have one of these than ten of any other brand names.
