First introduced in 1976, the Four Star® Series is one of the world's most popular knife lines. Four Star® knives were designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs. The result was a fully forged knife with a unique molded handle. The Four Star® line contains knives for all tasks, and includes the following open stock knife types: parer, bread, peeling, sandwich, utility, carving, chef’s, granton edge slicer, santoku, and others. Four Star® knives are also available in a range of block sets and gift sets.

The Four Star® series features high impact polypropylene handles that are permanently bonded to the knife blades without any gaps. These comfortable handles are break-proof, sanitary, and colorfast. In addition, the super bolster provides weight, insures safety, and adds balance.

Great value! For the chef with a desire for a lighter knife, May 11, 2001

Henckels makes a great knife and this set represents a great value. If you like a heavier knife, go with a Wustof. If you favor a lighter set, this is the one.

I have read many instructions on carving a turkey and I could never achieve nice slices. Now I can. Turns out I knew what I was doing I just did not have the proper tools. This carving set, with it's very sharp knife and strong fork, is wonderful.

The carving knife is OK and works well for both poultry and beef/pork roasts. The real thing of beauty is the carving fork!!!! After using normal(??) carving forks with tines that are 3-4" in length, the long tines on this fork is an absolute joy to work with. If you do not particularly care for the knife, buy the set for the fork, and relegate the knife to your junk drawer. I have never had a carving fork before like this, it is wonderful.
