Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 4-Inch High-Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife

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 4-inch fine-edged blade on this knife features slightly curved
surfaces on both the back and the cutting edge, terminating in a sharp point.
The pronounced tip makes this a great choice for peeling and cutting fruits
and vegetables and preparing meats. The blade is strong and firm; this is one
of the most versatile knives around and a must for the kitchen of any would-be
chef. Part of the popular Four Star series, this hand-honed blade is made with
Henckels’ Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which allows three different
grades of steel to be combined to form a single piece, fusing together the
blade, bolster, and tang. What does this mean in layman’s terms? It means a
strong, high-quality knife that will last a lifetime. 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,
