Zwilling Meat Cleaver 6-inch

ZWILLING J.A. Henckels' FOUR STAR series is widely recognized as the best-selling knife collection worldwide. Crafted by skilled artisans, this renowned line embodies excellence in safety, ergonomics, and comfort. With a seamless transition from bolster to handle, these knives ensure a comfortable grip during extended use. The bolster also acts as a reliable finger guard, providing the perfect balance. Made from the exclusive special formula steel refined over 280 years, these knives boast the exceptional durability, sharpness retention, and resistance to stains and chips, thanks to ZWILLING's unique ice-hardening technique known as FRIODUR. The blades of these SIGMAFORGE knives are precision-forged from a single piece of steel, resulting in unparalleled sturdiness, equilibrium, and flexibility.

In the Four Star series, the cleaver stands out with its hand-honed blade, which incorporates Henckels' innovative Sintermetal Component Technology (SCT). This advanced technology allows the fusion of three different steel grades into a single piece, integrating the blade, bolster, and tang. In simpler terms, this means a strong, high-quality knife that will withstand the test of time while being versatile enough for various kitchen tasks.

Established in 1731, J.A. Henckels is not only one of the oldest cutlery manufacturers worldwide but also one of the most highly regarded. Their knives are best-sellers that come with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting their commitment to quality and longevity.

Introduced in 1976, the Four Star Series quickly gained popularity and has become one of the most sought-after knife lines globally. These knives are the result of close collaboration with renowned professional chefs. The fully forged blades are accompanied by a unique molded handle, creating a distinctive look. The Four Star line offers a wide range of knives for different purposes, including paring, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chef's, granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. They are available individually, as well as in block sets and gift sets.

The construction of Four Star knives meets the highest standards. Each knife is precision-forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel using the Sigmaforge standard, resulting in improved quality consistency, long-lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. The Sigmaforge construction also enhances precision and stability, ensuring excellent cutting-edge retention. Additionally, J.A. Henckels applies Friodur ice hardening to enhance corrosion resistance and maintain sharpness.

The Four Star series features high-impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the blades, leaving no gaps. These comfortable and durable handles are break-proof, sanitary, and resistant to color fading. The super bolster adds weight, guarantees safety, and enhances balance.
