I have been using Zwilling Four Star knives for years. I am so happy that they are standing by their design and still adding pieces to it. I love this new shape. Its a cross between my chefs knife and santoku. The curved shape is great for slicing and mincing. It makes quick work of my chopped salads. All the classic Four Star features are there as well. The high carbon forged German stainless steel stays nice and sharp and is easy to maintain. The comfort grip on the handle is my favorite part.
