ZWILLING Four Star Chef's Knife

The FOUR STAR knife series from ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is the top-selling collection worldwide. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, this celebrated range is the epitome of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. The knives' seamless transition from bolster to handle ensures comfortable long-term use. The bolster provides the right balance while acting as a safe finger guard.

These knives are crafted from a proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected over 280 years. Combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, the FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, resistant to staining or chipping, and retain their edge longer. Precision-forged from a single piece of steel, the SIGMAFORGE knives have an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The impressive 10-inch blade on this knife features a curved cutting edge and a blunt back, simplifying and safer 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), fusing the blade, bolster, and tang into a single high-quality piece.

Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is one of the world's oldest and most respected cutlery manufacturers, creating best-selling 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® line contains knives for all tasks, including parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chef's, granton edge slicer, santoku, and others, available as open stock or in block and gift sets. These knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard, ensuring improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry.

The Sigmaforge one-piece construction provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, enhancing cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. Additionally, the Friodur ice hardening process contributes to corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention.
