Henckels Zwilling Knives Four Star Utility Knife 5in Serrated Slicer 1034603

The Henckels Zwilling Four Star 5” Utility Knife is a versatile kitchen essential designed to handle the everyday slicing tasks that fall between a paring knife and a chef’s knife. Whether you’re preparing sandwiches, slicing citrus, cutting cured meats, or tackling ripe tomatoes, this precision-crafted blade gives you the control and performance you need for clean, efficient results.

At the core of this utility knife is a 5-inch serrated blade made from Zwilling’s proprietary Friodur ice-hardened steel. Through a specialized ice-hardening process, the steel becomes exceptionally strong, corrosion-resistant, and capable of holding a sharp edge far longer than conventional stainless steel. The finely serrated edge bites cleanly into ingredients with tough exteriors and soft interiors, slicing effortlessly through crusty breads, delicate fruits, and thick-skinned vegetables without crushing or tearing. It's a reliable choice for those prep tasks where a straight edge might struggle.

With a blade thickness of just .04 inches, the knife maintains a slim, agile profile that glides smoothly through food. The full length of the knife measures 9.25 inches and weighs only 2.4 ounces, making it lightweight yet well-balanced. That balance is thanks in part to its hidden tang construction, which gives the knife a sleek look while maintaining structural integrity and a comfortable feel in the hand.

The handle is crafted from matte black polypropylene, a durable, hygienic material that’s resistant to heat, impact, and wear. It’s ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in your hand, offering a secure grip even when your prep space gets busy or your hands are wet. The minimalist design is not only timeless but also easy to clean, which makes it a favorite in both professional kitchens and home settings.

As part of Zwilling’s renowned Four Star line, this utility knife represents over four decades of German engineering excellence. Manufactured in Solingen, Germany—often referred to as the “City of Blades”—it embodies the craftsmanship and quality Zwilling J.A. Henckels is known for around the world.
