A classic for 50 years, Zwilling has taken the bestselling Four Star collection to the next level. The 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. A step above the standard bread knife, this 9" country bread knife is specifically designed for cutting through artisan, rustic and "country-style" loaves. The longer, slightly curved blade, featuring deeper serrations that stay sharper longer, is ideal for effortlessly slicing through crusty breads and soft-on-the-inside, hard-on-the-outside foods. This hardworking design prevents tearing, squishing and delivers better control with every cut.
