ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 6-Inch Chef's Knife, Black

The FOUR STAR knife series from ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is the top-selling line worldwide. This celebrated collection, honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, is the epitome of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. The seamless transition from bolster to handle ensures the knives are comfortable to use for extended periods. The bolster provides the right balance while acting as a safe finger guard.

These knives are made of 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, stain-resistant, chip-resistant, and retain their sharpness longer. The SIGMAFORGE knives are precision-forged from a single piece of steel, resulting in an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The 6-inch blade on this knife features a curved cutting edge and a blunt back, simplifying and improving the safety of chopping, dicing, and mincing duties through a quick rocking motion on the cutting edge. The hand-honed blade is made with Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which allows three different grades of steel to be combined into a single piece, fusing the blade, bolster, and tang together. This results in a strong, high-quality knife that will last a lifetime.

Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is one of the world's oldest and most well-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 knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard. This results in improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, enhancing cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness.

In addition, the Four Star knives use J.A. Henckels' Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. The series features high-impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps, ensuring comfortable, break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast grips. The super bolster provides weight, ensures safety, and adds balance.

The key features of the Four Star knives include Sigmaforge one-piece, precision-forged construction, laser-controlled edge, Friodur ice hardening, super bolster, full rat-tail tang, high-carbon no-stain steel, hand-precision honed blade, and bonded polypropylene handles. These knives are dishwasher-safe and backed by a full warranty from J.A. Henckels, reflecting the company's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
