ZWILLING J.A. Henckels ZWILLING Chef's Knife, 8-Inch, Black

The FOUR STAR series is the top-selling knife collection of ZWILLING J.A. Henckels worldwide. This celebrated range, honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, represents the pinnacle of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. Owing to their seamless transition from bolster to handle, the knives are remarkably comfortable for extended use. The bolster provides the ideal balance while acting as a secure finger guard.

Crafted from a proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected over 280 years, the knives are made using ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening FRIODUR technique. This results in blades that are harder, sharper, corrosion-resistant, chip-resistant, and retain their edge longer. Precision-forged from a single piece of steel, the SIGMAFORGE knives feature an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The 8-inch blade on this knife boasts a curved cutting edge and a blunt back, simplifying and enhancing the safety of chopping, dicing, and mincing tasks through a quick rocking motion. Part of the popular Four Star series, the hand-honed blade is made with Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which fuses the blade, bolster, and tang from three different grades of steel into a single high-quality, long-lasting piece.

Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is not only one of the world's oldest cutlery manufacturers, but also one of the most well-respected, creating bestselling knives guaranteed to last a lifetime. The Four Star® Series, first introduced in 1976, is one of the world's most popular knife lines, designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs.

The Four Star® knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard, ensuring improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The Friodur ice hardening process contributes to their corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention. The comfortable, break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast polypropylene handles are permanently bonded to the blades, while the super bolster provides weight, safety, and balance.

Key features include Sigmaforge one-piece construction, laser-controlled edges, Friodur ice hardening, a super bolster, a full rat-tail tang, high-carbon no-stain steel, hand-precision honing, and dishwasher-safe design. Backed by a full warranty, these FOUR STAR knives from J.A. Henckels are a testament to German engineering and craftsmanship.
