Four Star 6-Inch Stainless-Steel Utility Slicing Kitchen Knife by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels

The FOUR STAR series by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is renowned as the top-selling knife collection worldwide. Crafted by highly skilled artisans, these knives are the epitome of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. With a seamless transition from bolster to handle, these knives are designed for extended use without causing discomfort. The bolster not only provides balance but also acts as a protective finger guard. The blades are forged from proprietary special formula steel that has been refined over 280 years, enhanced with ZWILLING's ice-hardening technique to ensure they are resistant to staining and chipping, while maintaining their sharpness for longer periods. These FRIODUR blades are precision-forged from a single piece of steel using SIGMAFORGE technology, resulting in blades that are robust, well-balanced, and flexible.

The 6-inch fine-edged blade of these knives features curved surfaces on both the back and the cutting edge, culminating in a sharp point. This versatile size falls between a traditional cook's knife and a paring knife, making it an ideal choice for novice chefs. Part of the acclaimed Four Star series, this hand-honed blade is manufactured using Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology, which allows three different grades of steel to be merged into a single piece, ensuring durability and longevity.

Established in 1731, J.A. Henckels is not only one of the oldest cutlery manufacturers globally but also a highly respected one. The company produces best-selling knives that are guaranteed to endure a lifetime of use. The Four Star Series, introduced in 1976, was developed in collaboration with professional chefs to create a fully forged knife with a molded handle that offers superior comfort and precision. The series includes a variety of knives for different purposes, such as paring, bread, utility, chef's, and carving knives.

The creation of the Four Star knives involves precision forging from a single piece of high-carbon, no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard. This results in knives with improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The knives also undergo J.A. Henckels Friodur ice hardening process for enhanced corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention. The knives are equipped with high-impact polypropylene handles that are securely bonded to the blades, ensuring durability and comfort. Additional features include super bolsters for weight and balance, full rat-tail tang for strength, and laser-controlled edges for precision cutting angle. Made in Germany, these knives exemplify German craftsmanship and are designed to last for years to come.
