Zwilling Four Star 3-Piece Starter Set

Zwilling Four Star 3-Piece Starter Set

The Zwilling Four Star 3-piece starter set combines knives that suit a range of needs, which makes it a good way to start a collection: the 8-inch chef’s knife, the 5-inch serrated utility knife and the 4-inch paring knife.

The chef’s knife does the chopping and slicing, the serrated knife takes tomatoes, bagels and sandwiches, and the parer covers peeling and trimming. Made of high-carbon stainless steel known for toughness and edge retention, these knives are easy to resharpen and will last for years.

A bread knife and a prep knife are the usual next additions, and both are sold individually in the Four Star line.

For only the two essentials, see the Must Haves set. For a full block set, the Four Star 8-piece set.

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.

Line	Bolster and edge	Handle	Who it suits
Zwilling Pro	Curved half bolster; sharpenable from heel to tip	Triple-riveted black polymer	Cooks who use a pinch grip and want the full edge available for cutting and sharpening
Zwilling Four Star	Pronounced bolster that guards the fingers	Molded polypropylene with no rivets or gaps	Kitchens that value a hygienic, gap-free handle and a traditional finger guard
Zwilling Spectrum	Curved bolster; 12.5-degree edge per side	Jute Micarta with a steel end cap	Cooks who want the most acute factory edge of the three lines

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.
