Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 5-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Meat Cleaver

Part of the popular Four Star series, the hand-honed blade on this cleaver is made with Henckels' Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT), which allows three different grades of steel to be combined to form a single piece, fusing together the blade, bolster, and tang. What does this mean in layman's terms? A strong, high-quality knife that will last a lifetime--in a size that's great for numerous kitchen tasks.  Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is not only one of the world's oldest cutlery manufacturers, it's also one of the most well respected, creating best-selling knives guaranteed to last a lifetime.  --Kim Harwell   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, chef’s, 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.
