Amazon.com Review
A great gift for a novice cook (or an experienced cook with a drawer full of dull, stained blades), this three-piece set equips a kitchen with the essential knives needed to prepare any meal: a 4-inch paring knife, a 6-inch utility/sandwich knife, and an 8-inch chef's knife. As a bonus, included with the knives in a handsome gift package is a 9-inch sharpening steel to keep their edges aligned. From Henckels Four Star line, the three knives are first-rate. The paring knife is fully forged from a single piece of steel. The other two knives are formed by the high-tech process Henckels employs in manufacturing all its premium cutlery lines. Three high-carbon, stainless-steel types are welded into what appears to be a single piece so a knife's parts have distinct, desirable characteristics. Henckels says the invisible welds are stronger than the steel. Four Star handles are molded of rugged polypropylene. Their tangs are rat-tail shaped rather than full. The set carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
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. |

Four Stars for the Four Star Line,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 3-Piece Starter Set with Bonus Steel (Kitchen)
Like the knives. Good construction, appearance, balance, and works well.
The finish isn't quite up to that of the Wusthof.

Great knives,

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 3-Piece Starter Set with Bonus Steel (Kitchen)
I love my knives. The first set of "real" knives I have owned, I love the way they feel in my hands. They are sharp, and they stay sharp!
I went to a kitchen store and tested Wusthof, Henckel, a couple others. These were the most comfortable for me and they haven't disappointed me at all. Buy them. You'll be quite satisfied.

Henckels knifes,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 3-Piece Starter Set with Bonus Steel (Kitchen)
Oh, they are sharp, really sharp. Be careful with your fingers at first time of using these knifes. They are not heavy, so if you are looking for heavy ones look at next series which a little bit more expensive. Conclusion: just buy it and you'll love it. Recommended.
