About this item
Product details
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 over the 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.

Review between zwilling and wursthof
Thank you love the knife and balance most the thin blade and single bevel from the edge to the spine. I've been buying swilling and wusthof from the 70s, i bought a wusthof too but it had a secondary apex bevel thinner blade which despite thinner didn't cut as well.

New go to
We got our first 4 star knives (5 piece set) in the 1980s. We have since added steak knives, another paring knife plus Santoku and Nakiri models. The 5.5" prep is a new go to that is a really interesting "in-between" the European and Japanese styles.
Seller Verified Purchase
Worth every penny.
This is the second one we purchased. The first one is so well made and performs so well that we decided to get a second one to share with our family. We would definitely recommend this handy knife to everyone.
