## Description

Product 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.                  .com               The 2-3/4-inch fine-edged blade on this knife (sometimes called a bird-beak parer) features both a curved back and a gently curved cutting edge that terminate in a sharp point. The pronounced tip makes this a great choice for cleaning vegetables, peeling fruits, and larding meats. This slim and lightweight blade is strong yet flexible, making this a versatile kitchen choice any way you slice it. Part of the popular Four Star line, this 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? It means a strong, high-quality knife that will last a lifetime. 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 Star® Series is one of the world's most popular knife lines. Four Star® 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 Star® line contains knives for all tasks, and includes the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chefs, granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Four Star® knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets. A Higher Standard in Knife Construction Four Star® 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 Star® 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ But the handle is nice to the touch and the knife has a gazillion ...
*by K***E on August 22, 2015*

It's dandy. All my other Zwilling knives have the three bolts in the handle, so this one looks a little out of place. I realized after I bought it that this one belongs to the Zwilling line one notch below the Pro line. But the handle is nice to the touch and the knife has a gazillion uses. Just today, I used it to pick moldy raspberries out of a bad batch, using the "beak." Great for peeling vegetables and slicing, too. Got one of these for my mother-in-law, who has some arthritis in her thumbs. The blade shape and handle are ideal for cooks with sore hands.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little prunning knife.
*by A***K on March 13, 2018*

Fabulous tool, non-slip handle, easy to use. We've done without for years and had empty holes in our knife block. This matched the remaining knives we had so we now have a full set. And, a big deal was that the block we already had includes a slot for a cook's scissors (and the scissors) and it seems as though most of the blocks out there now don't do this which seems a shame as that's the tool used as frequently as any (not only for the food but also for those pesky plastic packages always needing to be ripped open).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars
*by A***E on October 3, 2015*

But the blade of the one that I previously owned snapped after about 20 years.
