Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Similar to a paring knife but with a narrower blade and a top running straight to a pronounced point, this 4-inch fluting knife is ideal for removing the fat from meat, either before or after cooking. Unlike longer top-grade Henckels knives, which are formed by a high-tech welding process, this knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel. Its handle doesn't have a full tang, but the grips are made of tough polypropylene. Although the knife is dishwasher-safe, it should be hand washed to protect its edge. It 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.

Features:

• SIGMAFORGE 1-piece, precision forged construction: Provides perfect geometry, high precision, and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting edge retention for lasting sharpness.
• Laser controlled edge: Is sharper and stays sharper longer. Has a more consistent blade angle.
• Friodur ice hardening: Maximum no-stain properties and more blade strength. Improved resistance to corrosion and pitting.
• Super bolster: Provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance.
• Full rat-tail tang: Provides a proper balance and greater strength.
• High-carbon no-stain steel, an exclusive J.A. Henckels formula: Non-staining, non-rusting.
• Hand, precision honed blade: Is sharper and stays sharper longer.
• Bonded polypropylene handles: Comfortable molded handles and food safe
• Dishwasher safe: Easy care (Although hand-washing is recommended by J.A. Henckels).
• Full warranty: J.A. Henckels stands behind all its knives.

This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 4-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Fluting Knife (Kitchen)

This Henckels knife is one of the most useful knives that I own. Its triangular shape is unlike most of the rounded parers. This gives the knife wonderful tip that can be used for many things. I like to use this blade to cut pockets in Chicken breasts and Pork chops. This blades tip is wonderful when you are in need of using a straight edge for precision cutting. There are many different styles of parers and I think that this is a shape that is well worth owning.
