The FOUR STAR series is the top-selling knife line of ZWILLING J.A. Henckels worldwide. This celebrated collection, honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, 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.

Crafted from a proprietary special formula steel perfected over 280 years, these FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, and resistant to staining or chipping. They also retain their sharpness longer, thanks to ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique. The SIGMAFORGE knives are precision-forged from a single piece of steel, resulting in an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The 8-inch blade on this knife features a curved back and a straight, scalloped edge. The serrated edge can easily penetrate resistant crusts and slice through even hard loaves of bread without crushing the delicate interior. This knife is also well-suited for slicing tough, fibrous fruits, such as pineapples. While serrated-edge blades are challenging to resharpen, the primary cutting surfaces on the curved part of the scalloped edges tend to maintain their cutting abilities quite well.

Most of the Henckels lines, including the popular Four Star series, feature Friodur blades – a special, ice-hardened, no-stain steel created and patented by the company in 1939. This special formula was designed for exceptional hardness and high resistance to corrosion.

Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is not only one of the world's oldest cutlery manufacturers, but also one of the most well-respected, 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, these fully forged knives feature a unique molded handle. The Four Star® line contains knives for all tasks, including parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chef's, granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Four Star® knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets.

The Sigmaforge one-piece construction ensures high precision, improved stability of the blade and steel structure, and enhanced cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. Additionally, the Friodur ice hardening process contributes to corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention.

The Four Star® series features high-impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These comfortable, break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast handles are complemented by the super bolster, which provides weight, ensures safety, and adds balance.
