Features:
Knives include 8-inch chef's, 6-inch utility 5-inch serrated utility, and 3-inch paring
Product Description: A sharp, superior quality knife can be a cook's best friend. Cutting, slicing, chopping, with speed and precision will reduce prep time, ensure uniform cooking time, and lead to more visually pleasing results. This set equips your kitchen with the basics and provides a safe and convenient way to sharpen and store your fine knives.
Amazon.com Review: This set places a lot of useful kitchen cutting edges within reach. The set consists of an 8-inch chef's knife, a 6-inch utility knife, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 3-inch paring knife, a pair of multipurpose kitchen shears, and a 9-inch sharpening steel to keep knife edges in order. It all fits in a heavy wood block with four extra slots for future acquisitions or old favorites. Except for the fully forged paring knife, the knives in this set--like other top-grade Henckels knives--are formed by a high-tech welding process that combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics. Traditionalists might insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are stronger than the steel. These knife handles don't have full tangs, but they're made of tough polypropylene. Hand washing is recommended. --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, 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.

Average Rating:
Rating: - Excellent knife set
I own the Henckels Four Star 7-Piece set. It is everything a cook could wish for unless you need a dedicated boning knife and a longer bread knife. I use the serated blade for slicing tomatoes and eggs, the shears for opening packages and trimming fat from chicken, and the longer blades for chopping and dicing. The paring knife is for removing the eyes from potatoes and peeling apples and the like. I can't remember how I got along in the kitchen without the 8" knife. It is the one I use the ... Read More
Rating: - Five years and still cutting....
We've had this knife set for five years and it works great. We use the Henckels 8" chef and 6" utility knives to cut meat and vegetables on a daily basis. The knives cut easily through everything from meat to melons to tomatoes (just keep them sharp). One of the great things about these knives is that you can sharpen them time and time again. Another great thing is that they are well balanced and the handles never come loose. We would buy this set again in a heartbeat. Every few years we add ... Read More
Rating: - Did not like handles
I bought this set, and then returned it because of the handles. The plastic handles, while I suppose are very durable, did not feel well balanced in my hands. The 4-stars are not the full tangs that I expected (while they are full "rat tail" tangs, you cannot see the tang because its embedded in the plastic handle and "rat tail" I guess refers to the shape and amount of blade material that is embedded in the handle), which really diminished the weight/feeling in my hand. I returned them and got ... Read More
Rating: - Great, but not as good as the 5-Star.
I had these knives for a year or so and really enjoyed them. Then I was given the 5-star knives for Chistmas and fell in love. The handles are better on the 5-star and they're a little heavier than these knives giving you the feeling that your really holding something sturdy. My advice is to go with the 5-star line instead of these. Sure they're more expensive, but you'll thank yourself in the long run.
Rating: - No comparison...
First, I can't attest that these knives are better than similar knives by other makers, such as Wusthof or Global. I did my share of research based on online reviews but I haven't had the privilege of working with knives by other high end manufacturers. My wife and I mostly limit ourselves to preparing relatively simple foods.
This being said, the experience I can relate with absolute authority is the sheer joy I've felt using the Henckels 4-Star knives over the past several months after ... Read More
