Zwilling Four Star 6-inch Utility Knife

The Zwilling Four Star 6-inch utility knife, also called a sandwich knife, is designed for everyday tasks that need a small, easy-to-control blade with enough knuckle clearance to use on the board. It is a good knife for cutting small amounts of fruit, vegetables, meat or prepared food.

This is the knife to grab when making a quick meal, a charcuterie board or a snack: halving a sandwich or slicing salami and cheese. The molded Four Star handle cleans up quickly between jobs.

The blade is narrow enough to steer around the rind on a wedge of cheese and long enough to cut through a deli sandwich without sawing.

For a smaller, narrower blade, see the Four Star 5-inch utility knife; for a serrated edge, the Four Star 5-inch serrated utility knife.

    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.
