Four Star knives are precision forged from a single piece of J.A. Henckels exclusive high-carbon, no-stain steel formula under the all-new SIGMAFORGE standard. As a result, Four Star knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. SIGMAFORGE one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Four Star knives use J.A. Henckels' FRIODUR ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. Manufactured in Germany.
