I own one of these - it's a great everyday kinda knife. It has that very thin kerf blade width, so it slices through food items like a block of cheese with ease. Also, it's thin like a forged Japanese blade, but it's Rockwell Hardness is on the German side, so while it's very sharp, the blade does not easily chip. Great all-around knife, and a great deal at $40.

DESCRIPTION
  • This 5.5-inch prep knife is a compact all-rounder knife for precision prep work in-hand and on the cutting board. It's perfect for chopping herbs, slicing meat, and dicing vegetables. Ideal for smaller hands, chop with ease and confidence with this versatile fine edge blade.
  • Four Star knives are made of proprietary special formula steel that has been perfected for almost 300 years. Combined with ZWILLING's signature ice-hardening technique, these FRIODUR blades are harder, sharper, they will not stain or chip, and they retain their sharpness longer. Precision forged from a single piece of steel, the SIGMAFORGE knives have an exceptionally sturdy, balanced, and flexible blade.
  • Made from special formula high carbon stainless steel
  • SIGMAFORGE - Single piece, forged knife
  • Ice-hardened FRIODUR blade stays sharper, longer
  • Precision-honed blade and laser-controlled edge for superior sharpness
  • Ergonomic, polypropylene handle
  • 57 Rockwell Hardness = excellent edge retention
  • Dishwasher safe, handwashing recommended
  • Made in Germany

LMFAO - okay, so this currently has a (-1) deal rating and I looked at the reason... "poor merchant reputation." These are being sold direct from the manufacturer's own website - www(.)zwilling(.)com/us --- really?

Yes, really. Zwilling customer service sucks.

Once they sent me pre-owned knive, and refused refund or replacement.

Another time my order was cancelled and I was waiting over 6 months for refund, and got it only when made claim via PayPay.

I will never buy on Zwilling website anymore.

That's really odd. They have been on Front Page deals numerous times on SD. This is the first time I've ever read a complaint like this. Anyone else have such an experience?

Zwilling also removes negative comments (3 stars and lower) from their website. I posted few under several products, and they disappeared very next day.

I can't complain about quality. Zwilling as a brand is really good, and I very like their knives, but I would prefer buy from 'Cutlery and more' or even BBB.

Well, I love C&M and have posted a bunch of their deals. None the less, $40 for this 4 Star Henckels is a great deal. Not getting much interest I see, but even after shipping it's only like $47… still a great deal for this level cutlery.

EDIT - I was just thinking, that if you wanted to order from C&M, there's a fair chance that if you called them up and told them Zwilling is selling this for $40, direct, that C&M might match the price. Again, whether or not you love the seller - the knife, itself, is a very worthy addition to your knife block. I must have over 20 high end knives in a massive Wusthof knife block (I think it's probably the biggest one made) - and this is often my go-to knife when I'm, well, when I'm "cutting the cheese."

Good deal. Four Star is forged and hardened in Solingen. Highly stain resistant. Holds an edge. More comfortable than Pro for many. Popular with chefs.
