I bought this knife after starting my first job out of college. My friends and family thought I was crazy. I also bought a 4" pairing knife and a steel. To this day, both the 10" is my #1 trusted knife. It cuts, slices, crushes - it is an extension of my right hand in the kitchen. I have 13 Henckels knives, including 3 Miyabi (a Birchwood, a Morimoto and a Kaizen), 3 Mikado, one Pro "S" and two "cheap" Henckels. My four-star knives are my favorites and my three work horses: the 10" Chef's, 6" utility, and 4" paring. If you want a knife that will never let you down, get this one!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought the 10" Four Star Chef's Knife in 1992 or 93. Used it pretty much every day since. Certainly have used it more than once per week since. It is my preferred knife of the 4 Zwillings I own. I use it for every kitchen task.
In the 32 +/- years of use these are the simplest of my observations; 1. It takes a good edge when sharpened. 2. The handle can become a little slick when wet and will then twist in my hand due to the "round" plastic handle. 3. The weight and balance of the knife feels very good to me every time I pick it up and use it. 4. It is hard to sharpen, it takes a lot of work running it through the sharpener to put an edge back on it but it holds that edge well for a satisfactory length of use.
I would buy it again, but only if the Zwilling Pro knives were no longer available. This knife, after 32 years of use, will most likely last me the rest of my life so even though it was very expensive when I bought it in 1992 it has turned out to be an excellent investment.

This 10" Four Star chef knife is sure to be a 'giant' help in the kitchen. I really like the Four Star handles as they perfectly balance out the blades while being amazingly comfortable to use. The full bolster also helps to keep optimum balance and control while that sharp blade easily cuts through food.

Chef's favorite!

A Four Star knife is so comfortable despite of its size. A 10" chef is perfect one big knife, will cut large food with control that is ergonomic.
Comfortable, balanced size will quickly become the go-to knife for everyday tasks. This knife will cut large chunk of meat, and even vegetables. A delicate big piece of fruits like Cantaloupe or watermelon will be manageable for this knife.
It's the most easiest to sharpen for its special formula high carbon stainless steel, easy to sharpened either stone or machine.

Four Star is a classic! On the market since the 1970's this knife has stood the test of time and still looks fresh and relevant.
The molded handle feels secure and fits nicely into the hand. The balance is great and the edge stays sharp due to the ice-hardening process.

Using a 10" chefs knife is more productive especially with big prep jobs. This knife is made from German Special Formula Steel, also forged from one piece of steel so durable for a lifetime. Its also ice hardened so blade will stay sharper for a longer period of time. The handle is comfortable and lightweight, a nice option compared to other heavy handle knives.

This is a great option for those wanting a 10 chef knife. This knife is great from chopping, slicing, dicing, etc. It is very sharp and will handle your kitchen needs!
