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 Harwell
From 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. |

A CUT ABOVE THE REST,
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)
It seems that everyone's kitchen drawer holds more than one paring knife - ours certainly does, and this small knife by Henckels is a favorite.The three inch blade makes it perfect for paring whether it be a garlic clove or potato. With a user friendly handle it fits neatly into your hand, and is easy to grip for lengthy chores. Pop it in the dishwasher, and it's like new.

Why this is a great knife,
By Reviewer (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)
This is my favorite kitchen knife. The handle is perfectly shaped. If you look closely, you'll see that the handle is designed/curved so your little finger is braced against the part that juts out at the end and your index finger braces against the saddle at the base of the blade. This gives you a solid grip to manipulate the blade. This is generally true of Henckels' 4-star handles as compared to the wooden handles. I've found that I much prefer the 3" blade length to the 4" length. The 3" does everything you would do with a 4" but with more control. The shorter blade seems to flex less. You'll find yourself stuffing this knife in your pocket because of its convenient size. The Amazonprice is a bargain...

The only paring knife you need,
By MotherLodeBeth "MotherLodeBeth" (Sierras of California) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife (Kitchen)
As Julia Child reminds people all the time, a fine paring knife is a must. This one holds its tone or sharpness longer, and as others have noted its handle is perfect. Makes an excellent gift for someone moving into their own place. While it is dishwasher safe I suggest that washing and drying after each use is better. I also would suggest you own two.
