J.A. HenckelsHENCKELS International Forged Synergy 2-Pc. Asian Cutlery Set

Great set at a great value for these two much used knives. I love the little Kudamono and use it as I would a small paring knife. It is nice that it has the grantons on the blade like the santoku, so nothing sticks to the blade. German stainless steel and sharp, I love this set.

This is a great value. This set allows you to chop, dice and slice with the Santoku along with peeling and handwork with the parer.

Popular shapes and lengths

I've heard these two knives are popular in Asian (hence the name), but no matter who likes using them, they are ideal for prepping vegetables and fruits. The santoku will also cube and slice meats very efficiently. These are really good quality knives at a really good price. The Forged Synergy line is an elegant line of forged medium weight knives. They have gracefully sculpted handles that fit nicely in the palm of the hand, and an integrated bolster that makes them comfortable to grip. The double-riveted handles securely encase the full tang blade. These knives are forged from high quality German stainless steel and manufactured to the highest global standards. That means these knives are sharp and can resharpened again and again giving you years of enjoyment. High quality at a great price. Really good value. Although they are dishwasher safe, I recommend hand washing them. They will retain the ‘just purchased’ look.

Great set to have in your kitchen! These knives are great for chopping, dicing, etc. The hollow edge is to resist food sticking to the blade and works very well. I love that this value line is made up of a very sharp blade and comfortable handle at an affordable price.

This is a great value priced way to try a forged Asian style knife. Both this santoku and paring knife have hollow air pockets along the fine edge to help prevent food from sticking as you slice. The Santoku has a broad blade that is great for chopping vegetables plus it has a comfortable knuckle clearance. Both are forged for a sturdy feel at the bolster.

A great combo of knives that you will likely use both quite a bit! The paring is for those small jobs - peeling and slicing those apples and taking out blemishes. The Santoku can be for all those veggies - and nice to know none will stick to the knife! Perfect set for a value price!
