Zwilling Four Star 6.5-inch Nakiri Knife
The Zwilling Four Star 6.5-inch (170mm) Nakiri is a specialized instrument that integrates Western durability with traditional Japanese vegetable-prep geometry. Unlike the curved profile of a Western chef’s knife, the Nakiri features a signature flat edge and squared-off tip, specifically engineered for the vertical push-cuts required for high-volume vegetable processing. Each blade is forged from a single piece of proprietary high-carbon stainless steel using the SIGMAFORGE® process, ensuring a stable, well-balanced tool with a robust bolster. The blade undergoes FRIODUR® ice-hardening to 57 Rockwell (HRC), a process that optimizes the molecular structure to achieve superior corrosion resistance and an edge that remains sharp through exhaustive prep sessions while remaining responsive to honing. The seamless, molded handle—the hallmark of the Four Star series—is designed without gaps or rivets, providing a clinical level of hygiene and a slip-resistant, ergonomic grip that accommodates a professional pinch grip for surgical accuracy in julienne, brunoise, and katsuramuki-style cutting.

Zwilling Four Star 7-inch HE Rocking Santoku (1001614)
The Zwilling Four Star 7" Rocking Santoku is designed for cooks who want the precision of a santoku and the efficiency of a Western chef’s knife.

Lightweight, versatile, and easy to control, this knife is an excellent alternative to a full-size chef’s knife, especially for daily meal prep. It's also a great choice for cooks working on the line. The lightweight handle is comfortable, easy to sanitize and best of all, won't slip. Learn More$139.95 -
Zwilling Four Star 5.5-Inch Prep Knife (1001609)
The knife you reach for when a paring knife is too small and a chef’s knife feels like overkill. The Zwilling Four Star 5.5" Prep Knife is a compact, highly versatile knife designed to handle the majority of everyday prep tasks with more control than a full-size chef’s knife. Often described as a “mini-chef,” it combines the maneuverability of a utility knife with the board performance of a larger blade. Unlike a traditional utility knife, which is narrow and optimized for in-hand work, this prep knife features a deeper blade profile and a gentle curve along the edge. This added height provides knuckle clearance for cutting on a board, while the curved edge allows for a smooth rocking motion when chopping herbs, shallots, and small vegetables. The 5.5" length strikes a balance between precision and efficiency. It’s compact enough for trimming and detail work, yet long enough to handle slicing, chopping, and general prep without constantly switching knives. Forged in Solingen, Germany from Zwilling’s proprietary 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15) high-carbon stainless steel, the blade is built for durability and consistent performance. The SIGMAFORGE® construction and FRIODUR® ice-hardening process (57 HRC) improve edge retention and toughness, allowing the knife to maintain sharpness through repeated use on a cutting board. The full bolster provides balance and stability, giving the knife the feel of a larger forged blade in a more agile format. The seamless Four Star handle is molded for comfort and hygiene, eliminating gaps where food debris can collect and providing a secure grip during extended prep sessions. Whether you’re chopping vegetables, slicing fruit, or handling everyday prep, this knife is designed to be the one you reach for most often.
