Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 3-Piece Starter Set with Bonus Steel: Kitchen & Dining. Bonded polypropylene handles: Comfortable molded handles and food safe Dishwasher[5908] The J.A. A great gift for a novice cook (or an experienced cook with a drawer full of dull, stained blades), this three-piece set equips a kitchen with the essential knives needed to prepare any meal: a 4-inch paring knife, a 6-inch utility/sandwich knife, and an 8-inch chef's knife. As a bonus, included with the knives in a handsome gift package is a 9-inch sharpening steel to keep their edges aligned. From Henckels Four Star line, the three knives are first-rate. The paring knife is fully forged from a single piece of steel. The other two knives are formed by the high-tech process Henckels employs in manufacturing all its premium cutlery lines. Three high-carbon, stainless-steel types are welded into what appears to be a single piece so a knife's parts have distinct, desirable characteristics. Henckels says the invisible welds are stronger than the steel. Four Star handles are molded of rugged polypropylene. Their tangs are rat-tail shaped rather than full. The set carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer First introduced in 1976, the Four Star® Series is one of the world's most popular knife lines. Four Star® knives were designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs. The result was a fully forged knife with a unique molded handle. The Four Star® line contains knives for all tasks, and includes the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chefs, granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Four Star® knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets. A Higher Standard in Knife Construction Four Star® knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel 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. It's All in The Grip: The Four Star® series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These comfortable handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance.
