Twin Four Star 8-Inch Bread Knife by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels

ZWILLING J.A. Henckels' FOUR STAR series is the top-selling knife series globally. Crafted by skilled artisans, these knives are renowned for their safety, ergonomics, and comfort. The seamless transition from bolster to handle ensures prolonged usage without discomfort. The unique bolster provides balance and acts as a finger guard for safety. Made from a special formula steel perfected over 280 years, these knives feature FRIODUR blades that are harder, sharper, and resistant to staining or chipping. The precision-forged SIGMAFORGE knives have sturdy, balanced, and flexible blades.

The 8-inch blade of the FOUR STAR knife boasts a curved back and a straight, scalloped edge, perfect for slicing through hard bread or fibrous fruits like pineapples. The serrated edge maintains cutting abilities well, although it is not easily sharpened. The Friodur steel, patented by J.A. Henckels in 1939, offers exceptional hardness and resistance to corrosion. Founded in 1731, J.A. Henckels is one of the oldest and most respected cutlery manufacturers, known for producing best-selling knives that last a lifetime.

Introduced in 1976, the Four Star® Series was created in collaboration with professional chefs, resulting in fully forged knives with molded handles. The line includes a variety of knife types suitable for different tasks. Precision-forged from high-carbon no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard, these knives offer quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The durable polypropylene handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast.

Other features of FOUR STAR knives include Friodur ice-hardening for corrosion resistance, a super bolster for weight and balance, and a full rat-tail tang for strength. With a laser-controlled edge and high-carbon steel formula, these knives are sharp and precise. Dishwasher safe and covered by a full warranty, FOUR STAR knives are a reliable choice for any kitchen. Made in Germany, these knives uphold a tradition of excellence in cutlery craftsmanship.
