Our take on the ZWILLING Four Star 8 Piece Self Sharpening Knife Block Set

The Zwilling Four Star 8-piece self-sharpening knife block set pairs forged German stainless knives with a block that hones the edges each time you pull a knife out or put it back. The set covers the core kitchen jobs: chef's, santoku, bread, paring and utility knives, plus kitchen shears, in Zwilling's long-running Four Star handle shape. Blades are single-piece forged at 57 Rockwell hardness with laser-controlled edges, and the polypropylene handles are dishwasher safe though handwashing is recommended. At $499.99 at Home Depot as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the top of its recent range, so it is a buy-now price only if you want the self-sharpening block rather than the knives alone.

Questions and answers

Is the self-sharpening block worth it over a plain block?
Yes if you never want to think about honing. The slots realign the edge each time a knife goes in or out, which keeps the 57 Rockwell blades cutting longer between sharpenings. A plain block plus a honing steel costs less but needs regular attention.
How does this compare with the Zwilling Pro set?
Pro uses a curved bolster and slightly different handle shape, aimed at pinch-grip cooks. Four Star has a straight bolster and a more rounded handle, and this set adds the self-sharpening block. Both use forged German steel; pick Four Star for the block and lower price.
Are the knives dishwasher safe?
Zwilling lists them as dishwasher safe but recommends handwashing. Detergent and heat dull edges and can cloud the polypropylene handles over time. Hand dry and return them to the block.
What is included in the 8 pieces?
The set includes a chef's knife, santoku, bread knife, paring knife, utility knife, kitchen shears and the self-sharpening block, which accounts for the eighth piece. There are no steak knives or honing steel.
When is the best time to buy this set?
Holiday sales and Zwilling's own promotions are the usual low points. At $499.99 at Home Depot as of November 3, 2026, it is at the top of its recent range, so waiting for a sale is reasonable if you are not in a hurry.
Can I buy replacement knives for the block?
Yes. Four Star knives are sold individually and fit the block's slots, so a lost or damaged knife can be replaced without buying a new set.
