High quality, replaced one that was lost

Another great knife from JA Henckels. Just what this home cook needs.

quality, price, utility quite good

Love these knives. Have had a set for yrs.

My sister has had this knife for over 30 years... It got damaged, so I bought her a new one. Her favorite knife.... The only thing that did not measure up with the new knife in comparison to her original knife, there was a metal band at the butt of the knife that added weight and 'balanced' her original knife, the new knife I bought did NOT have this counterweight... I still gave it five stars but would only actually give it four and a half because of the design change in removing the 'balance weight' in the new knife! Pros: stays sharp... Cons: design flaw as compared to the original knife that use to be sold as the same knife as the 'balance weight was removed from this design.

So far it is great!

Lookie our its sharp

The handle of this knife I just received is lighter than my originals, the plastic differs, it throws the balance off. I have the original set I purchased in the late 1980’s, including one of the two Four Star 5” Serrated Utilities. I’ll be stopping by a cutlery retailer to see if the engineering changed or it is this distributor. It is noticeable without weighing, but I did weigh it to be sure.

Four Star 5" Serrated is a most utilitarian knife. Feels very comfortable to use - well proportioned handle-to-knife size (I'm 7 women glove size). I use for everything needing serrated edge and other uses including cutting veggies. Wanted second serrated knife so, tried Classic 5" Serrated Knife but returned because handle is way too small to grip and knife is smaller size. Bought a second of the Four Star 5" Serrated.

I got my first one over 10 yrs. ago after finding out how they were made an was truly impressed with the warranty as well as the product. Soon after I got a butcher block and customize my own set along with a large sharpening steel & 2 types of scissors. One of my saddest days was opening a box after moving into my new apartment and finding one of my favorites, my 5" serrated broken..., it was a good run an I was a little sick until I got it replaced.
