What is the significance of the "zwilling" ("twin") part of the company name? Unsigned posting from 02:53, 28. Mär. 2006 69.197.241.139
The awards section needs to be cited if the page isn't going to look like an advertisement, and should be re-written for a more appropriate formatting and style. If the knives won the awards, they should be listed on an independant website, not the Henckels website.
J.A. Henckels knives and cutlery-related products have received several awards and honorable mentions over the years. In 2005, Henckels TWIN Select and TWIN Pro "S" were ranked #1 and #2 for cutlery sets by a leading non-profit consumer trade publication. In 2004, TWIN Cuisine cutlery received The GOOD DESIGN award, which is admininstered annually at the Chicago Athenaeum. In 2005, TWIN Kitchen Shears also won the award. J.A. Henckels has received the red dot design award several times over the past 10 years. The latest winners have been the TWIN Cuisine knife series in 2005, and the TWIN Cermax M66 series in 2006. In the past two years, the TWIN Nail Clipper and TWIN Cermax M66 knife series has received the iF product design award at the Hannover Exhibition Centre.

You should check out some other kitchen cutlery pages then. They provide the same information that you removed from our page. To be fair, all pages should be subject to the same rules.
Also, as far as "bragging" with awards, I would not call it bragging at all. The company received awards, its a fact. Check out the website at www.jahenckels.com. You can check out the iF design website and the reddot award website for confirmation. The awards listing in no way said anything besides the facts. Each knife series was listed with the award it received. If that's bragging, then I'm confused.
For the places to find Henckels products, several other brands list where to purchase their products.

Here are my replies to these comments:
Some early knives say "Trident Dreizack, Solingen" only and other also say Henckels, so this must a brand that merged with Henckels. David R. Ingham ( talk) 19:38, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
The History section says Henckel's son was born 40 years after he registered the company name. That would make him (probably) around 60 when his son was born. Possible I suppose but unlikely, surely? Madgenberyl ( talk) 23:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
The current (May 27, 2013) Henckels history reference linked to a non-Henckels scissors company. I tried to update the link to the real history of Henckels, at the Henckels website. My HTTP code is a bit rusty, but I think I got it right. 67.166.36.134 ( talk) 04:42, 28 May 2013 (UTC) Dave Needham needham98@yahoo.com 67.166.36.134 ( talk) 04:42, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Dear sir/Madden I have Knife/Razor I don't know which and i can not find it anywhere. It has a knife blade but at the end it looks like a razor it's about 3/4 inch wide where you could hold it as and use as a razor. it's J.A. Henckles Germany on the blade. which is about 31/2 inches long. black handles. help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.147.120.156 ( talk) 01:23, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
There appears to be three "levels" of Henckels cutlery which this page doesn't really explain, leading me to think this was all written by the PR department of Henckels. There are "Zwilling JA Henckels" made in Germany, "International JA Henckels" made in Spain, and just "JA Henckels" which are sold in big chain stores and produced in China of significantly lower quality. A skeptic would argue that they are using brand confusion to trick consumers into believing all Henckels are the same. I believe Wikipedia has the ability to clarify issues like this, and not just serve as a mouthpiece for the company. Perhaps a neutral source with more information than me can improve this page.
Thanks. I bought a set today. Didn't say "China" anywhere on the box. Thought I was getting the real deal. Will be returning them! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.132.86 ( talk) 06:33, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
Ok this brand is really confusing...
First of all, is "Zwilling" part of their brand/company name? I understand they brand their products in both "Zwilling JAH" and "JAH International" names (and a lot more), but according to de wiki their official name should be "Zwilling J. A. Henckels" after all if I was correct. Should we follow that?
It leads to second question.. which official website(s), especially English one, should we use? After a brief search I can find:

the article is using the term "ice hardened" in at least two places. The hardening that the company does has nothing to do with ice, so the term is incorrect and is used for marketing. Why should company's incorrect marketing terms be used here? 198.96.180.245 ( talk) 18:23, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
