Description

FOUR STAR is the top-selling knife series of ZWILLING J.A. Henckels worldwide. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, this celebrated collection is the model of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. Thanks to their seamless transition from bolster to handle, the knives are comfortable to use for long periods of time. The bolster provides the right balance while acting as a safe finger guard. The knives are made of proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for over 280 years. Combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, these FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, they will NOT STAIN or chip and they retain their sharpness longer. Precision-forged from a single piece of steel, the SIGMAFORGE knives have an exceptionally sturdy, balanced and flexible blade. The impressive and somewhat daunting 10-inch blade on this knife features a curved cutting edge and a blunt back; chopping, dicing, and mincing duties are simplified--and made safer--by utilizing a quick rocking motion on the cutting edge. Part of the popular Four Star series, the hand-honed blade is made with Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which allows three different grades of steel to be combined to form a single piece, fusing together the blade, bolster, and tang. What does this mean in layman's terms? A strong, high-quality knife that will last a lifetime--in a size that says you mean business in the kitchen. Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is not only one of the world's oldest cutlery manufacturers, it's also one of the most well respected, creating best-selling knives guaranteed to last a lifetime. --Kim HarwellFrom the Manufacturer First introduced in 1976, the Four Starยฎ Series is one of the world's most popular knife lines. Four Starยฎ knives were designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs. The result was a fully forged knife with a unique molded handle. The Four Starยฎ line contains knives for all tasks, and includes the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chefย’s, granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Four Starยฎ knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets. A Higher Standard in Knife Construction Four Starยฎ knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Four Starยฎ knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Four Starยฎ knives use J.A. Henckelsย’ Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. It's All in The Grip: The Four Starยฎ series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These comfortable handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance. Features:SIGMAFORGE 1-piece, precision forged construction: Provides perfect geometry, high precision, and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting edge retention for lasting sharpness. Laser controlled edge: Is sharper and stays sharper longer. Has a more consistent blade angle. Friodur ice hardening: Maximum no-stain properties and more blade strength. Improved resistance to corrosion and pitting. Super bolster: Provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance. Full rat-tail tang: Provides a proper balance and greater strength.

  • Cut like butter
Size: 10 Inch Color: Black
Very nice knife with great steel for holding an edge. A little bit shorter than I desired but a great knife.

  • The perfect knife for big jobs by cooks of all skill levels
Size: 10 Inch Color: Black
I am a typical home cook without any formal training. I thought it would be a waste to spend a lot on knives, but this knife completely changed my philosophy. This knife is excellent. After the first use of chopping vegetables for a stew, I have wanted to cook more. I also look forward to trying new recipes and ways to put my knife through its paces. This workhorse knife feels powerful in my hands, and makes me feel confident in my meal preparation. I can see the difference a knife makes in efficiency and quality of preparing meals. I have not had any problems with keeping it sharp. The knife is heavy enough for serious chopping, but light enough for extended use. I did not want to spend a lot replacing all my knives, but after experiencing the quality of this chef's knife, I have added the other Henckels versions of the Santoku, utility, paring, and bread knives to my wish list. One word of caution: This knife is huge. I received it as a Christmas gift, and even though I asked for an 8" chef's knife, I was given this 10" beauty. I am not complaining, but I have found it to be larger than what I am accustomed to using. Sometimes it can chop into other foods nearby. I figure trained chefs likely do not have concerns, but duffers like me will find this knife slightly larger than optimal for their needs. I also put the Henckels 8" version on my wish list, and once I get it, will use this 10" knife for large cutting jobs and for holiday carving of hams, turkeys, and prime ribs. ... show more

  • Strong, Durable, Easy to Sharpen
Size: 1 EA Color: Stainless Steel
This has been my go to kitchen knife for 3 years now. It comes beautifully sharpened and the edge lasts for a long long time. Sharpening again makes it like new and the steel is thick enough that you will be able to sharpen it many times over its lifetime.

  • Absolutely love this knife!
Size: 10 Inch Color: Black
Iโ€™m not sure why all the bad reviews. I ordered this knife to replace one in the set Iโ€™ve had over 30 years. It arrived and was HUGE but I love it. I knocked the tip off of the one I lost, and it seems itโ€™s not even made in that size now. This was more than Iโ€™d bargained for but I have no regrets! Just be aware, as all good knives, itโ€™s sharp as heck! ... show more

  • This Henckel (4 star twin) makes a great gift for a person that is not a knife ...
Size: 6 Inch Color: Black
This Henckel (4 star twin) makes a great gift for a person that is not a knife person(my daughter), while it is not a Pro S it is so much better than the average knife found in the average home. I've read that it is the same steel as the Pro S so I assume that it will hold an edge as well as a Pro S. Before I gave her the 4 Star I bought a 6-inch 4 star and tried it for over a year and never found anything to complain about. I've also given her an 8" as well as a 4". My son-in-law seems to have a greater appreciation of the knives than my daughter but i hold hope that one day she'll realize just what these knives are. Also let me say that the 6" chef's knife felt a little too small in my hand, I use an 8" as well as a 10" chef's knife and love them both. ... show more

  • Great knife
Size: 6 Inch Color: Black
This was a gift for a person with a small apartment, who asked for "something small." I've had one of these knives for several years now, plus I have a sharpening steel; the knife is my "go-to" knife and I love it! If it gets a little dull, I use the sharpening steel. It's a wonderful, sharp, strong knife. ... show more

  • 25 years and going strong - I could probably get another 10 years out of it.
Size: 6 Inch Color: Black
This knife is fantastic. I've had mine for almost 25 years. I just bought one for my son. Pretty funny to see how much metal has been lost to sharpening over the years. I'm getting ready to buy a replacement for mine, but I'm not quite ready to give up on the one I have. The blade has stayed true, it holds an edge well, the handle has not degraded at all. It's a true workhorse. I only wash it by hand. I might consider putting it in the dishwasher, but I use it so frequently, I couldn't stand not having it available. Updated 03JAN2016 Yes! I got a new one for Christmas. I thought I would retire my old one, but I'm not ready to let it go just yet. So now I have two excellent knives in the drawer. ... show more
