A classic for over 45 years, we’ve taken our bestselling Four Star collection to the next, greener level. A commitment towards a more sustainable future, Four Star Eco knife handles are crafted with a minimum amount of 75% recycled plastics. Our durable and extremely sharp blades are precision-forged in Germany. Combined with ZWILLING’s signature ice-hardening technique, these FRIODUR blades are harder, stay sharper for longer, and resist chips and stains. Honed and hand-finished by skilled artisans, this celebrated collection is the model of safety, ergonomics, and comfort. Rooted in Japanese tradition, the Bunka shape is a lighter, thinner and shorter alternative to the classic, Western-style Chef’s Knife, blending the versatility of the classic Chef style with the precision of a Santoku. Like the Santoku, the Bunka features a wide, stocky profile, with the sharply angled tip of the Kiritsuke (also known as the “reverse tanto”) for added precision and dexterity—making this shape extremely useful in the kitchen.
