ZWILLING Four Star 5-inch Serrated Utility Knife, Black

Description

FOUR STAR is the top-selling knife series of ZWILLING J.A.
Henckels worldwide. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, this
celebrated collection is the model of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. Thanks
to their seamless transition from bolster to handle, the knives are
comfortable to use for long periods of time. The bolster provides the right
balance while acting as a safe finger guard. The knives are made of
proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for over 280 years.
Combined with ZWILLING’s signature ice-hardening technique, these FRIODUR
blades are harder, sharper, they will NOT STAIN or chip and they retain their
sharpness longer. Precision-forged from a single piece of steel, the
SIGMAFORGE knives have an exceptionally sturdy, balanced and flexible blade.
The 5-inch blade on this knife features slightly curved surfaces on
both the back and the cutting edge, terminating in a wide point. The serrated
edge is perfect for cutting and slicing soft products that have a firm skin,
as this type of blade penetrates more easily than one with a smooth edge. This
medium-size knife makes a handy and versatile kitchen tool for cooks of any
ilk. Most of the Henckels lines–including the popular Four Star series–
feature blades made of Friodur, 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, it’s also one of the most well respected, creating best-selling
knives guaranteed to last a lifetime. –Kim HarwellFrom the Manufacturer First
introduced in 1976, the Four Star® Series is one of the world’s most popular
knife lines. Four Star® knives were designed and developed in close
cooperation with renowned professional chefs. The result was a fully forged
knife with a unique molded handle. The Four Star® line contains knives for all
tasks, and includes the following open stock knife types: 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. A Higher Standard in Knife Construction Four Star® knives are precision
forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel
under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Four Star® knives have
improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry.
Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved
stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge
retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Four Star® knives use J.A.
Henckels’ Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also
contributes to cutting-edge retention. It’s All in The Grip: The Four Star®
series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded
to the knife blades without any gaps. These comfortable handles are break-
proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides
weight, insures safety, and adds balance. Features:SIGMAFORGE 1-piece,
