Thread: J.A. Henckels - Zwillingswerk #42 1/2 ~ Abalonecrylic

Here's a drop dead gorgeous shoulderless NOS Henckels I was able to get my hands on. The blade itself was immaculate. Came all the way from East Germany.

The only thing I did was throw it on the wheels with some green rouge.

I haven't seen many of those around. And those Henckels numbers are still a total mystery to me.

As to the scales. Abalone with a black backing and acrylic top layer, tapered acrylic wedge and all that jazz.

Will hone this one up tomorrow since it's already accounted for.

Never had a Henckels that didn't perform.

Enjoy.
