This knife is built not only to last but to tackle all those small cutting jobs in the kitchen. Use it for cutting small onions, mincing garlic, shallots, herbs and apples and citrus fruit. Great all around multi purpose knife with plenty of knuckle clearance. Four Star has a really nice feeling handle. Is easy to grip even when wet and works with smaller hands. Premium German Steel, made in Germany, ice hardened to hold an edge longer these knives are ready to take on the toughest challenges in the kitchen.
I bought this for my daughter, she loved it! This is her everyday go-to knife. It is perfect size for her hands, comfortable handle and sharpness is exceptional. It feels great and function well for daily use. These are forged knives from a single piece of solid steel, ergonomic polypropylene handle. German made special formula high carbon steel with 57 Rockwell Hardness = excellent edge retention.
I use this knife when I want to cut with precision.. In particular, i use this for slicing potatoes for baked dishes. It's a great choice for longer, leaner vegetables and fruits. This knife also makes a great parer!! Light, sharp and durable. Great to add to your 4 star collection
This prep knife is a good inbetween size. It can be used as a paring/utility knife for something small, while the wider heel of blade allows for chopping something larger on the cutting board. Good weight with molded comfortable handle.
Although I use a chef knife often, this has become a favorite. I love the shape of the blade. It's wide enough so you can use a cutting board and your knuckles don't crash onto the board. The soft material of the handle is really comfortable. I definatley recommend it is you are looking to add a knife to your collection.
This is my grandmother’s go to knife. This is a great alternative blade instead of having to use a chef. She really likes using a smaller blade for when she cuts and slices her food, and she loves how lightweight the prep is so she can hold it and it won’t get heavy in her hand after using it for an extended period of time. A well made stainless steel blade, this forged knife will hold up for a long time and stay sharp, so you don't have to worry about sharpening as often.
I love this versatile 5.5" prep knife! The Four Star handle is extra comfortable and the blade stays super sharp for a long time. The knife is perfectly weighted and balanced.
