Zwilling Four Star 4-inch Paring Knife

The paring knife covers the small cuts a chef’s knife handles awkwardly: peeling an apple, segmenting an orange, trimming a strawberry or cutting a garnish. At 4 inches, the Zwilling Four Star paring knife has a little more reach than a 3-inch parer, so it can also slice small fruit and aromatics on the board.

The molded Four Star handle stays secure in a wet hand, and the bolster gives the fingers a stop at the front of the handle during in-hand work. It is the paring knife in every Four Star block set and the Must Haves 2-piece set.

Hold small fruit in the hand and draw the blade toward the thumb in short strokes. On the board, the 4-inch blade halves cherry tomatoes and slices shallots with good control.

For tomatoes and other soft-skinned produce, the Four Star 5-inch serrated utility knife has a serrated edge. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains paring 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.

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.
