The FOUR STAR series by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels stands as their premier knife collection globally. Crafted by skilled artisans, these knives exemplify excellence in safety, ergonomics, and comfort. Their seamless transition from bolster to handle ensures prolonged comfort during use, while the bolster itself acts as a protective finger guard, maintaining balance and safety.
The knives are forged from a proprietary special formula steel refined over 280 years and undergo ZWILLING's renowned ice-hardening process, resulting in FRIODUR blades that are exceptionally durable, resistant to staining and chipping, and retain their sharpness over time. Each knife is precision-forged from a single piece of steel using SIGMAFORGE technology, ensuring a robust, balanced, and flexible blade.
The 6-inch blade of these knives features a curved cutting edge and a blunt back, designed to simplify chopping, dicing, and mincing with a safe rocking motion. Part of the esteemed Four Star series, these knives incorporate Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which seamlessly integrates blade, bolster, and tang, translating to a resilient, high-quality knife built to last a lifetime.
Founded in 1731, J.A. Henckels is not only one of the oldest but also one of the most respected cutlery manufacturers globally, renowned for creating best-selling knives that endure through generations.
The Four Star series, introduced in 1976, was developed in collaboration with professional chefs to produce fully forged knives with molded handles. Available in various types including paring, bread, utility, chef's knives, and more, the Four Star line offers versatility in both open stock and block sets.
Four Star knives are precision-forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard. This construction method ensures superior quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and precise geometry. The Friodur ice-hardening process enhances corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention.
The series features handles made from high-impact polypropylene, bonded seamlessly to the blades for durability and hygiene. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable, break-proof grip that remains sanitary and colorfast over time. A super bolster adds weight and balance while ensuring safety during use.
