The Zwilling J. A. Henckels logo is one of the oldest trademarks on record and is recognized the world over as a symbol of highest quality and function. The Zwilling J. A. Henckels brand was established on June 13, 1731, the day knife maker Peter Henckels registered the Zwilling logo with the Cutlers Guild of Solingen. He chose Zwilling because June 13 falls under the astrological sign of Gemini and the German word Zwilling means twin or Gemini. Since then, the brand has been committed to uncompromising quality and form. Today, nearly 280 years later, Zwilling J. A. Henckels is appreciated around the world for its excellent innovative products. Zwilling J. A. Henckels stands for knives that are sharp, tough, durable, cut well, ergonomic, and beautiful.

The Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won't skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 7.5 inches long by 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.
