Zwilling Four Star Chef’s Knife 16cm

The story of Zwilling began in 1731, when Johann Peter Henckels registered the now-famous “twin” symbol as his trademark with the Cutler’s Guild in Solingen, Germany. Since then, the company has gained an international reputation for producing knives, shears, scissors, cookware, kitchen gadgets and beauty products of exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Blending centuries-old traditions with the latest innovations, Zwilling’s range of products is standard equipment in professional and home kitchens around the world.

Masterfully combining safety, ergonomic design and comfort, Zwilling’s Four Star Knife range revolutionises high-quality chef’s knives, making this the best selling Zwilling Series worldwide. Honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, this celebrated collection is the model of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. Thanks to their seamless transition from bolster to handle, the knives are comfortable to use for long periods of time. The SIGMAFORGE structure of the knives means they are precision-forged from a single piece of no-stain special formula steel, delivering optimum strength and balance, the blade runs entirely through the handle. This means perfect geometry, high precision and improved stability. The blades are Friodur® Ice Hardened which means greater blade strength and improved resistance to corrosion and pitting. The V-edge honing laser-controlled precision ensures the blade is sharpened to a 30° angle, guaranteeing outstanding performance in the most demanding conditions as a result of the initial sharpness of the blade. Features ergonomically aligned slim handle and bolster for precise and comfortable handling when cutting, with a 3/4 concealed tang, for impressive balance and safe, secure handling.
