This is a great way to get three knife profiles that you'll need in any home kitchen. The chef's knife will tackle most of your cutting jobs from fruits and vegetable to meats. The serrated prep knife will be your go-to blade for citrus, tomatoes, sandwiches, rolls and bread while the paring knife helps with all your small tasks like peeling and removing strawberry stems. Four star knives are popular because they are forged from specially formulated steel to be corrosion resistant but hard enough to retain their razor sharp cutting edge use after use. The molded handles are really comfortable and nonslip.

I love these starter sets for so many reasons - they give you exactly what you want and need to start making any dishes in the kitchen, they are compact and show you do not need a lot of knives to make many dishes, the price is great for the quality and knives you get - much better than buying separately. The Four Star knives are the top-of-the-line from Zwilling and their best-seller! I can see why - Friodur process, so stays sharp, durable and rust and chip free for the life of the knives. Great full, straight bolster, so no finger fatigue and give a good grip with comfort. Also perfect for a wedding gift or for the gourmet chef!

Such a great set!
A great starter set for new homeowners, recent college grads or if you just want the essentials. The Four Star knives are nice and lightweight, great for anyone who doesn’t want something that can be tiring in hand. The Chef is a great knife to use for chopping and slicing vegetables, meat, fruit. The paring knife is great for slicing and peeling fruits and vegetables, and the serrated utility is great for slicing citrus, tomatoes, bread and meats like sausage. With the Four Star having a ice hardened forged steel, these knives will stay sharp much longer, won’t be prone to rusting, and will have lasting durability. A great set to build a knife collection or to have a couple key blades in your kitchen.

Awesome Quality, Awesome Set
Three essential knives that can perform most cutting task to fix any meal. The chef knife for chopping fruits and vegetables, or slicing meat; the serrated utility can tackle anything hard on the outside and soft on the inside such as tomato, rolls, or baguettes; and the parer can take care of all those small, "in hand" tasks.
Four Star is an amazing knife line that they've been making in Germany for over 40 years. It's forged from high carbon German steel so it has a great weight and balance as well as an incredibly sharp blade that holds the edge really well. The molded handle is lighter than the three rivet knives and is super comfortable. Just like all their forged knives made in Germany, they're going to last a lifetime.

Love these Knives
We already had a Zwilling J.A. Henckels set of knives, but had ruined one of them, trying to open a coconut. Although the large knife was shorter than the one we broke, we are actually enjoying it more. And the two smaller knives are fantastic additions to the set we already have. This is a great starter set and introduction to the quality of ZJAH knives.

It says it in the name, this is an essential knife set. What a great way to start your cutlery journey with these three amazing Four Stay blades! The chef's knife is the workhorse in the kitchen and can get almost any job done. Utilize the serrated utility knife for foods with tough exteriors and soft interiors and the paring knife for smaller cuts. Each handle is comfortable to grip and the German steel blades stay sharp for a long time. Get this set! You won't regret it.

Excellent essential gifting set!
These are 3pc. essential to have, an ideal gift set for any occasion and a traveling set for a cook who loves to travel with their knife set. Handwashing is recommended because of the dishwasher's abrasiveness may harm your knives and dull the blade. The dishwasher will scratch, chip, dull, stain, and otherwise damage your knives. This will lead to a once-beautiful knife looking worn and aged. One cycle can chip the blade or snap it in two. Then there’s the detergents, which can be just as dangerous as the machine itself, causing knives to dull or discolor. Also it is personal safety including your fingers when you’re unloading and loading, it is easy to reach for young children who may be in danger reaching their favorite spoon in the dishwasher. These have a lifetime limited warranty for any manufacturer's defects.

A perfect starter set, it contains the top three knives that every kitchen should have - a 8" chefs knife, a serrated bland and a paring knife. Four Star knives are made from German Special Formula Steel, also forged from one piece of steel so durable for a lifetime. The blades are ice hardened so the blades start sharp and stay sharper for a longer period of time. The handle is comfortable and lightweight, a nice option compared to other heavy handle knives.

Greetings, For your Vier Sterne series I noticed the omission of “ice hardened” print on the blades. Does this mean they are no longer ice hardened or…? Thank you,
Hi, our Four Star knives are made in Germany with our proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for almost 300 years. Combined with Zwilling’s signature ice-hardening technique, the Friodur blades are harder, sharper, they will not stain or chip, and they retain their sharpness longer. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email our Consumer Support Center.

Does the metal knife shank extend the full length of the knife? Dubbed the "Four Star" collection, is it a better knife than yours with the handle fasteners? (riveted on handles).
The Four Star line has a half tang, and is made with the same steel as our ZWILLING Pro and Professional "S" knives. The difference is in the handles.
