ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 4-Inch Paring Knife

The FOUR STAR knife series from ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is the top-selling range worldwide. Crafted by the most skilled artisans, this celebrated collection exemplifies 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.

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

The 4-inch fine-edged blade on this versatile knife features slightly curved surfaces on both the back and the cutting edge, terminating in a sharp point. The pronounced tip makes it a great choice for peeling and cutting fruits and vegetables, as well as preparing meats. The blade is strong and firm, making this one of the most versatile knives for any kitchen.

Part of the popular Four Star series, this hand-honed blade is made with Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which fuses together the blade, bolster, and tang from three different grades of steel, resulting 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. The Four Star series, first introduced in 1976, was designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs, offering a fully forged knife with a unique molded handle.

Four Star 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 Friodur ice-hardening process also contributes to cutting-edge retention and corrosion resistance.

The comfortable, break-proof, and sanitary high-impact polypropylene handles are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. The super bolster provides weight, ensures safety, and adds balance. With a Rockwell Hardness of 57 and a 15-degree edge angle per side, Four Star knives offer excellent edge retention and durability.
