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 5-inch blade on this knife features slightly curved surfaces on both the back and the cutting edge, terminating in a wide point. The serrated edge is perfect for cutting and slicing soft products that have a firm skin, as this type of blade penetrates more easily than one with a smooth edge. This medium-size knife makes a handy and versatile kitchen tool for cooks of any ilk. Most of the Henckels lines--including the popular Four Star series--feature blades made of Friodur, a special, ice-hardened, no-stain steel created and patented by the company in 1939. This special formula was designed for exceptional hardness and high resistance to corrosion.
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 Harwell
From 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. In addition, Four Star® knives use J.A. Henckels Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention.
It's All in The Grip:
The Four Star® 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.

Purchased to replace the one that broke from not being used properly. Hankel knifes are great it just takes a little longer to get a sharp edge. But holdes it's sharpness longer than most knifes.

This knife was originally part of a set that I have used for over 20 years, every day. It still cuts as good as new. I used it so much I ordered another one so I would not have to wash to reuse while cooking. It has an excellent hand and is the perfect size. Excellent tomato knife. Also ordered my mom one and she loves it. Worth every penny. A quality knife that never needs sharpening.

great knife. razor sharp. it will cut through anything, it's serrated so it works like a saw. the cutting edges are vertical. rather than horizontal as in a flat-edged knife. for some reason they only serrated one side, which I always associated with cheap serrated knives, since i own an expensive bread knife that is serrated on both sides and has cut nicely for 40 years. so you have to learn how to apply a sideways twist to the Henckles to keep it from "wandering" to the left as you cut down. it becomes automatic after a while. another thing is that if you google "henckles utility knives" you get about 8 slightly different knives and I have no idea how they compare to this one. they start at $8 and go up to over a $100. this one was about $80. Together with my 10" Wusthof chef's knife and an inexpensive Chicago cutlery 4" paring knife they do everything.
