This Henckels forged knife is extremely sharp and strong because it is made from one piece of rust resistant stainless steel.A special metal divider, called a bolster, helps to protect your hands from the sharp blade.The knife has a full tang, which means the blade actually extends all the way to the end of the handle. You just can't see it. A tang adds strength and durability.Both a bolster and a full tang are essential elements of top quality, long lasting knives.The JA Henckels Four Star line of cutlery has a more modern handle design than the traditional 3-rivet look. It also has an extended base for easier handling.You'll appreciate the hygienic handle, crafted from a special resin blend that's germ-resistant.
