ZWILLING Chef's Knife, 8 Inch, Black

ZWILLING J.A. Henckels' FOUR STAR series is the top-selling knife collection globally, crafted by skilled artisans with a focus on safety, ergonomics, and comfort. These knives feature a seamless transition from bolster to handle for extended periods of use. The bolster not only ensures the right balance but also acts as a protective finger guard.

Utilizing proprietary special formula steel perfected over 280 years, combined with ZWILLING's ice-hardening technique, the FRIODUR blades in the FOUR STAR series are harder, sharper, and more resistant to staining and chipping. Precision-forged from a single piece of steel using SIGMAFORGE technology, these knives have sturdy, well-balanced, and flexible blades.

The 8-inch blade in this knife boasts a curved cutting edge and a blunt back, making tasks like chopping, dicing, and mincing easier and safer. With Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which fuses three different grades of steel into a single piece, the hand-honed blade in the Four Star series offers strength and quality that will withstand the test of time.

Established in 1731, J.A. Henckels is not just one of the oldest cutlery manufacturers but also one of the most reputable, creating reliable knives that stand the test of time. The Four Star Series, introduced in 1976, was developed closely with professional chefs to create fully forged knives with unique molded handles. These knives are suitable for a wide range of tasks and are available in various types, block sets, and gift sets.

The Four Star knives are precision-forged from exclusive-formula high-carbon steel under the Sigmaforge standard, ensuring quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The knives also employ J.A. Henckels' Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention. The knives feature high-impact polypropylene handles that are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast, with a super bolster for added weight, safety, and balance.

With features like precision-honing, laser-controlled edge, and full warranty by J.A. Henckels, the Four Star series sets a higher standard in knife construction. These knives are dishwasher-safe, although handwashing is recommended, and are manufactured in Germany for exceptional quality and durability.
