Came nicely packed in an over-sized double box/ Other than that the knife is awesome. Super sharp, even after using it on different items.

The grip on this knife is second to none when wet, and is a nice big size. If possible will get a smaller version of this too.

Sharpest knife in the drawer
The Forschner knife is the sharpest knife I have ever used. I have a Chicago Cutlery set that I have kept sharp and used for years and swore they were the best. The Forschner was recommended to me by the CountryCook magazine as being relatively inexpensive and better than the Chicago so I ordered it. CountryCook is right: It is better.

Slice and dice with the best knife
This is the best knife we own. The handle is not cumbersome at all. The weight of the knife is perfect for cutting everything from cabbage to herbs to nuts and fruit. This a real keeper for years to come.

Swiss Made Excellence!
Swiss made, this knife by Forschner is the highest grade you can purchase. It's technically an 8" chef's knife and the stainless steel can be sharpened repeatedly, even though it holds it edge very well. The fibron handle has a strong grip and prevents slipping. The Swiss make great clocks, army knives and now this `series' of culinary knives that are `top-of-the-line'. It's so good there is a lifetime warranty. In fact this IS the company that makes Swiss Army Knives! I suggest buying a set if you are truly into good cooking. Voted #1 by "Culinary Magazine".

Good deal
I received this chef's knife about a month ago and have used it exclusively for all my carving, slicing and daily uses. It is very well balanced and the blade is thin enough to slice very thin sheets without dragging. It holds it's edge very well without constant use of a steel. I have not seen any rusting of the blade as some others have. I would highly recommend it without hesitation.
