Four Star's amazing prep knife will become the go-to knife in your kitchen. This new blade shape excels at a multitude of tasks - peeling and chopping vegetables and fruit, slicing meats and cheeses, butterflying chicken breasts, deveining shrimp, and much more. The well-designed blade allows for plenty of knuckle clearance when you're chopping on a cutting board yet is small enough for in-hand paring tasks, such as peeling and trimming apples and potatoes. This masterpiece of safety, ergonomics, and comfort has become the best-selling ZWILLING J.A. Henckels knife series worldwide and is celebrating 40 years of production. Each Four Star knife is forged from a single piece of steel, resulting in a sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade. The seamless transition from bolster to molded handle makes Four Star knives comfortable for long periods of use.
