The Zwilling Four Star Wood is an 8-inch chef's knife with a stainless steel blade and a brown wood handle, made in Germany. It sits in Zwilling's long-running Four Star line, which is known for its molded, seamless handle transition and a blade that takes a sharp edge and holds it. The wood handle gives it a warmer look than the all-plastic Four Star, but wood needs more care: no soaking and no dishwasher. It suits cooks who want one sturdy all-purpose knife for chopping, slicing and mincing, and who accept hand washing. Against German rivals like Wüsthof Classic, it is similarly built and similarly priced in its class; against Japanese knives it is heavier and less thin behind the edge.

Owners of the Four Star line generally praise the sharp edge, solid balance and comfortable grip, and many keep theirs for years. The main complaints are about the wood handle needing care and the full bolster getting in the way when sharpening.
