The workhorse of all knife tasks

Gender:Male
Frequency of use:Daily
This has been my favorite knife for decades. I used to baby it and keep it for home use only but recently have been using it daily at work. Zwilling boasts that the knife has been made exactly the same from day one in the 70's as it is now. This is the most durable knife that I have ever used and owned. The blade is tapered to a whisper thin bevel and stays sharp as it is easy to hone and sharpen when needed. If you require a solid and nearly maintenance free knife I highly recommend Four Star knives.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Supremely sharp

My Son bought this for me several years ago for my birthday. I've had an original set of Chicago Cutlery knives that I purchased in 1978, that I still use daily (I love to cook). The J.A. Henkle knife is much superior and I've kept it reserved for special use like slicing fresh tomatoes...wish I could an entire set!! Superior in every way to all the other knives I've ever owned!

A knife of many years

Frequency of use:Daily
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family has been using this knife (an older version) for decades. It finally broke under heat and duress, and my mother bought the upgraded version (Four Star II). When I moved out on my own, I bought this version because 1) I knew it would last me years 2) doesn’t need frequent sharpening and 3) liked the feel of this one in my hand. When sharpened, it cuts precisely and beautifully. The Zwilling store associates were more than helpful and accommodating, and they allowed me to test many knives before I chose this one. I was willing to invest my time and money knowing from personal experience that a Zwilling knife would last me many years.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Not as well made as before. The knife is sharp, but the bolster is not finished well and the edge of the bolster is sharp, cutting into fingers when holding the knife. On versions I’ve bought before, the edges of the bolster are carefully smoothed. This matters when using the knife a lot.

I use this knife on a daily basis. I like the weight and the feel of the handle in my hand.
also like the full bolster between the handle and the blade. It's a great place to rest my thumb and index finger.
Super knife at a great price

Great all around knife!

I ablsolutly love this knife. The handle fits perfectly in my hand and I love how it is rounded at the edges to give a very comfortable feeling while I'm cutting. The length of the blade makes it easy to cut through things like butternut squash. If I could only have one knife, this would be the one!
