10" Kullenschliff Roast and 12" Bayonet Fork.

As with the company’s other top-of-the-line models, the Culinar knife is precision-forged-blade, bolster, and tang-from a single piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. The blade is tested by lasers and honed by hand, with computer-controlled front-to-back tapering, grinding, and polishing. The beautiful satin-finish 18/10 stainless-steel handles, attached with a near-seamless construction, offer a pleasing grip and a slightly heavier weight than synthetic alternatives. In use, the Culinar knives are excellently balanced, handling with incredible sharpness and precision. They promise a lifetime of dependable use. Designed specifically for carving, this 8-inch Culinar carver uses a hollow-ground blade to turn out deliciously thin slices. Shallow, oval-shaped depressions run the length of the blade on either side, creating air pockets during slicing that keep the meat from sticking to the knife. Because it is not serrated, the knife can also be honed on a steel with the rest of your cutlery collection. Satisfying to hold and highly maneuverable, this knife should be washed and dried by hand for optimum results. -Emily Bedard.

A Higher Standard in Knife Construction Four Star® knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Four Star® knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Four Star® knives use J. A. Henckels’ Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. It's All in The Grip: 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.
