Twin Four Star 8-Inch Bread Knife

The worldwide top-selling knife series of ZWILLING J.A. Henckels is the FOUR STAR collection. This celebrated series is honed and hand-finished by skilled artisans, setting the standard for safety, ergonomics, and comfort. The knives seamlessly transition from bolster to handle, providing comfort for extended use. The bolster also acts as a finger guard, ensuring the right balance. Made from proprietary special formula steel perfected over 280 years, these knives are combined with ZWILLING's ice-hardening technique to create FRIODUR blades that are harder, sharper, and resistant to staining or chipping, while retaining their sharpness longer. Precision-forged from a single piece of steel, SIGMAFORGE knives have a sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The 8-inch blade of this knife features a curved back and a straight, scalloped edge that penetrates resistant crusts and slices through hard loaves of bread without damaging the interior. It is also ideal for slicing tough fruits like pineapples. Henckels' knives, including the popular Four Star series, are made of Friodur, a special ice-hardened steel known for exceptional hardness and resistance to corrosion. Founded in 1731, J.A. Henckels is one of the oldest and most respected cutlery manufacturers globally, producing knives designed to last a lifetime.

The Four Star Series, introduced in 1976, was developed in collaboration with professional chefs to create fully forged knives with unique molded handles for optimal balance and comfort. These knives cover a range of tasks, including paring, bread slicing, peeling, carving, and more. Precision forged from exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the Sigmaforge standard, Four Star knives offer improved quality consistency, sharpness, and geometry. The knives also undergo Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance and edge retention.

Featuring high impact polypropylene handles permanently bonded to the blades, the Four Star series offers comfort, durability, and balance. The knives include features like a super bolster for weight and safety, a full rat-tail tang for balance and strength, and a hand-honed blade for lasting sharpness. Dishwasher safe and backed by a full warranty, the Four Star knives are a testament to J.A. Henckels' commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
