Zwilling J.A. Henckels Fillet Knife

FOUR STAR is the top-selling knife series of ZWILLING J.A. Henckels worldwide. This celebrated collection is honed and hand-finished by skilled artisans, making it the model of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. The seamless transition from bolster to handle ensures long-lasting comfort during use, while also acting as a safe finger guard. The knives are made of a proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for over 280 years. Combined with ZWILLING's ice-hardening technique, the FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, and more resistant to staining and chipping, maintaining their sharpness for longer periods. The SIGMAFORGE knives are precision-forged from a single piece of steel, resulting in a sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.

The 7-inch hand-honed blade on this knife features a modest curve near the bolster and a straight cutting edge. It is long, slim, and flexible, making it ideal for filleting fish or chicken. The thin edge allows for clean separation of the meat's fibers, effortlessly tackling even the toughest tuna. Most Henckels lines, including the popular Four Star series, feature blades made of Friodur, a special, ice-hardened, no-stain steel created and patented by the company in 1939. This special formula was designed for exceptional hardness and high resistance to corrosion. With a rich history dating back to 1731, J.A. Henckels is one of the world's oldest cutlery manufacturers, renowned for creating best-selling knives that are guaranteed to last a lifetime.

First introduced in 1976, the Four Star Series is one of the world's most renowned knife lines and was developed in close cooperation with professional chefs. The result was a fully forged knife with a unique molded handle. The Four Star line includes a variety of knife types, such as parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chef's, granton edge slicer, and santoku. Additionally, Four Star knives are available in block sets and gift sets.

Four Star knives are created with precision, using the Sigmaforge standard in which they are precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon, no-stain steel under a new construction standard. This results in improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The knives also undergo Friodur ice hardening by J.A. Henckels, enhancing their corrosion resistance and cutting-edge retention. The knives feature high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades, ensuring a seamless grip without any gaps. The super bolster provides weight, safety, and balance.

Features of the Four Star series include precision-honed blades that stay sharp for longer periods, laser-controlled edges for consistent blade angle, and a high-carbon no-stain steel formula that prevents staining and rusting. The comfortable molded handles are made of bonded polypropylene and are food safe. The knives are dishwasher safe, although hand-washing is recommended. J.A. Henckels stands behind all its knives and offers a full warranty. The Four Star knives are proudly manufactured in Germany.
