Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Forget gigantic block sets, this modestly-sized starter collection contains all the essentials. An eight-inch chef’s knife is the workhorse of the kitchen, chopping, dicing, or mincing. The four-inch paring knife is perfect for peeling, coring, carving decorative garnishes, and other small-scale tasks. A six-inch utility knife cuts sandwiches, carves small roasts, and slices meats.

Developed after extensive consultation with professional chefs, the Henckels Four Star line is ideal for the ambitious home cook. Forged rather than stamped, each knife is made from high-carbon, no-stain German steel. Exclusive Friodur blades are ice-hardened for strength, sharpness, and stain resistance; then precision-honed via a laser-controlled process for a stronger, longer-lasting edge. Henckels' Sinter Metal Component Technology welds blade, bolster, and tang into a single piece for easy handling and precise cutting. Unbreakable polypropylene handles are seamless--providing a secure grip even when wet. Knives are balanced and weighted to reduce hand and wrist fatigue during big chopping tasks. Both blade and handle are dishwasher safe, though Henckels recommends hand washing for best results. All Four Star knives are covered by a limited, lifetime warranty.

Whether you’re setting up your first kitchen or shopping for a wedding or housewarming gift, this set offers a great introduction to the legendary quality of Henckels cutlery. --Mary Park

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.
