[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this knife years ago. With regular honing and occasionally sharpening. It still cuts like it did on day one. Excellent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a new culinary school student, I had never had an experience to shop and compare multiple knives and styles at once. I kept returning to this knife for its feel, and it’s light weight, but feels solid and sturdy. Felt like something I could use easily for hours a day and never tire. Every knife is personal, but this one really stood out for me.
The Four Star is a classic, and I love the 7" blade. Priced right, lighter and easier to handle. One piece construction, is durable and has a fully forged bolster which protects your fingers, adding heft as well as balance. The special formula steel is 57 on the Rockwell, which helps to keep the knife nice and sharp. The 15 degree angle is similar to the angle sharper Japanese knives have, and also contribute to the excellent performance. Love the molded handle free from rivets, extremely comfortable and dishwasher safe. Lots of good reasons to select this knife!
