ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 4-Inch Paring Knife

The FOUR STAR knife series by ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is their top-selling line worldwide. Crafted by the most skilled artisans, this acclaimed collection 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 secure finger guard.

Forged from a proprietary special formula steel perfected over 280 years, these FRIODUR blades are hardened using ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, making them harder, sharper, and less prone to staining or chipping. They also retain their razor-sharp edge for longer. The SIGMAFORGE process precision-forges these knives from a single piece of steel, resulting in 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 it a great choice for peeling and cutting fruits and vegetables, as well as preparing meats. This versatile knife is a must-have for any aspiring chef's kitchen.

Part of the popular Four Star series, this hand-honed blade is made with Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which fuses together the blade, bolster, and tang, creating a strong, high-quality knife built to last a lifetime. Founded in 1731, J.A. Henckels is one of the world's oldest and most respected cutlery manufacturers, known for its best-selling knives guaranteed to withstand the test of time.

The Four Star® Series was first introduced in 1976 and has since become one of the world's most popular knife lines. Designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs, Four Star® knives feature a unique molded handle and a full range of blade types, including parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chef's, granton edge slicer, santoku, and more. They are available in both open stock and as part of various block and gift sets.

Four Star® knives are precision-forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard, which ensures consistent quality, lasting sharpness, and perfect blade geometry. The Friodur ice-hardening process contributes to their corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention. The high-impact polypropylene handles are permanently bonded to the blades without gaps, providing a comfortable, break-proof, and sanitary grip. The super bolster adds weight, safety, and balance to the knives.
