Wusthof and Henkels what is the difference in the levels within each brand?
Each company has many levels in quality, I understand that a knife should have the metal go from end to end, and have the rivets thru the handle for support. I find that each brand has so many choices that seem all to similar anyone know how to break the code what is the difference, which one is better? Like Henkels have a 4 star, double 4 star, signature, pro s, the list goes on and on. Anyone know how to tell the difference.
You have the top features other than a forged blade - this will normally (not always) be indicated by a solid hand guard/bolster (wide end of the blade where the handles are applied).
Zwilling J. A. Henckels' top lines are:
#1) "Twin Cermax" (Japanese style - Micarta handles - very expensive - exclusive steel)
#2) "Twin Select" (all stainless)
#3) "Pro S (best selling - the line I have)
Henckels has 12 lines - top 3 are only ones I would buy - be wary of the International (single Zwilling/Gemini figure) especially.
Wusthof's top lines are:
#1) "Ikon" - (tapered bolster which enables better sharpening at handle/bolster end)
#2) "Le Cordon Bleau" - (Wustof's Japanese style line)
#3) "Culinar" - (all stainless)
#4) "Classic" - (Wusthof's best selling line)
"Pro S" (Henckels) and "Classic" (Wusthof) are the best lines for the money in these brands, IMO. Another German brand, F. Dick, has comparable knives (maybe slightly better) and is a little cheaper.
If price is not an object, then you get into very high quality (very expensive) Japanese knives like the Misono, Masahiro, and Shun Elite lines.
I also feel compelled to mention Mac, a lesser known Japanese brand which might well be the best value of any knives made.
