Zwilling Four Star 10-inch Hollow Edge Slicer

The Zwilling Four Star 10-inch slicer has a granton, or hollow, edge that helps food release from the blade for smooth slicing. It is a strong choice for slicing roasts on a buffet line or for processing large amounts of beef.

Zwilling does an excellent job hollowing out the edge on the Four Star line: the dimples are deep and wide enough to really keep the meat from clinging to the blade. The steel is from Germany and responds very well to regular honing. This is a comfortable, functional knife that is well designed and built with attention to detail.

A 10-inch blade lets each slice finish in one stroke on a large roast, which gives a smoother surface than sawing back and forth with a shorter knife.

For carving at the table, the Four Star 8-inch carving knife is shorter and easier to handle. Our guide to knife shapes covers slicers and carving knives.

    Choosing a Zwilling Line

    All three lines are forged in Germany from the same special formula steel and ice-hardened by Zwilling’s FRIODUR process.

    Keeping the Edge

    German stainless at this hardness responds well to honing. A few light strokes on a honing steel before each use keep the edge aligned; sharpen on whetstones or a guided sharpener when honing no longer restores it.


    Care

    • Zwilling rates the knife dishwasher safe but recommends hand washing; wash with warm, soapy water and dry at once.
    • Cut on wood or soft composite boards rather than glass, stone or ceramic.
    • Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in an edge guard, not loose in a drawer.
