Amazon.com Review
Part of the popular Four Star series, the hand-honed blade on this cleaver is made with Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which allows three different grades of steel to be combined to form a single piece, fusing together the blade, bolster, and tang. What does this mean in layman's terms? A strong, high-quality knife that will last a lifetime--in a size that's great for numerous kitchen tasks.
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. |

3.0 out of 5 stars
Close...but not quite.,
By Jim Krupnik "jkrupnik" (Watchung, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 5-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Meat Cleaver (Kitchen)
This is a nice cleaver, but it is a tad small for all around work. I used one for a while, and prefer the 5 star cleaver. I wrote this review because someone said that the only difference between the 4 and 5 star is the handle. Not so. Catalog pictures reveal a similar profile, but the 5 star is a 6" cleaver, while the 4 star is a 5" cleaver. The extra inch makes a huge difference. It can tackle larger jobs, yet does the smaller ones with less effort, and better control. I know that the 5 star description says 7" length, but that is not the blade length. It is 6". Trust me. Also, the 4 star cleaver advertises the use of the multi alloy, sintered (powdered steel pressed into a single mass) construction that is supposed to offer good edge quality while allowing for less labor intensive production, while the 5 star cleaver is made of a single forging of their premium "ice hardened" Friodur steel. Maybe it doesn't matter, but the top line still seems to prefer the fine characteristics of forged steel. Handle style is a personal choice. I prefer the 5 star handle for comfort and control, but some will prefer the other. I just wanted to set the record straight, and let prospective buyers know that there are real differences between the 4 and 5 star cleavers. Some people might need a larger one, but I have never met anyone who would give up a 6" cleaver for a 5" model. It's a cleaver, not a slicer. Even if you are just preparing wings for the fryer, you will appreciate the difference.

The Ultimate Meat Cleaver,
By cs2001 (Western NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 5-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Meat Cleaver (Kitchen)
The Henckels Four Star High Carbon Stainless Steel Meat Cleaver is the ultimate meat cleaver. We like it a lot - it's heavy; the balance and fit are perfect. The only difference between the Four Star & Five Star meat cleavers is the shape of handle; and we're much prefer the Four Star's handle.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 5-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Meat Cleaver (Kitchen)
This is a hefty, well balanced cleaver that tackles any job with aplomb, then cleans up in the dishwasher and stays sharp almost forever. It will not fit in any block though, so (carefully) arrange a space in your knife drawer for this beauty.
