Zwilling Four Star 7-Piece Knife Block Set, Natural

Four Star has been Zwilling’s molded-handle line for decades, and this 7-piece set is its eco version, with handles made largely from recycled plastics. The block holds the 4-inch paring knife, 5.5-inch prep knife, 8-inch chef’s knife and 8-inch bread knife, with a 9-inch honing steel and kitchen shears.

Those four knives cover fine slicing to heavy chopping. The natural birch block has 10 slots, which leaves room to add a carving knife or a santoku.

Buying the knives as a set gives every blade the same handle and the same sharpening angle, so the included steel is the only maintenance tool the block needs between sharpenings.

The same selection comes in a brown block. For an added serrated utility knife, see 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.

    LineBolster and edgeHandleWho it suits
    Zwilling ProCurved half bolster; sharpenable from heel to tipTriple-riveted black polymerCooks who use a pinch grip and want the full edge available for cutting and sharpening
    Zwilling Four StarPronounced bolster that guards the fingersMolded polypropylene with no rivets or gapsKitchens that value a hygienic, gap-free handle and a traditional finger guard
    Zwilling SpectrumCurved bolster; 12.5-degree edge per sideJute Micarta with a steel end capCooks 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.
