Product DescriptionThe chef's knife is a kitchen staple, with a wide straight edged blade ideally suited to cutting and chopping fruits and vegetables, herbs, and so on. Some may find the 10'' length too awkward and unwieldy, and for those people we recommend this slightly shorter knife. R. H. Forschner is a division of Swiss Army Brands, Inc, renowned for the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. These knives are specially ground and tempered so that they can be resharpened over and over again, keeping a sharp edge throughout their lifetime. State of the art technology blended with old world craftsmanship produce cutting instruments of excellent quality, at reasonable prices. Forschner Victorinox Fibrox knives have earned high marks in a well-known cooking magazine which stringently tests kitchen products.
What Others Say
Best ever
Of all the knives I have (some very expensive) this is absolutely the best. It slices through food like it was slicing through butter. The quality is unmatched.
There is probably no better BANG for your BUCK in cutlery...
I am not a knife snob but we own a true classic workhorse of a chef's knife, the J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 8-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife, and when a family member got one of these VICTORINOX knives as part of her "kit" for going off to college I was keen on comparing the build quality of the two.
Put simply, the VICTORINOX is quite impressive if not as heavy-duty as the HENCKELS. With its thinner, but excellently forged and machined blade, this knife is more like a SHUN than a top-of-the-line HENCKELS. And right out of the box this knife seems to be every bit as sharp as a friend's treasured SHUN CLASSIC - which is saying a lot!

One Sharp Knife
This little puppy is once sharp knife. I've used for many years Victorinox's little pairing knife and that was the sharpest ever. I'm going to use the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife trimming meat like ribs and pork before smoking it. I compared my existing henckels to this knife using a pickle I was holding in the air. I was able to just barely touch the pickle with this knife and it sliced right through it. The Henckel knife woudn't slice it at all.. I even rubbed the Henckels on the pickle back and fourth. You can't beat the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife for the money.
Get this knife!
I had tried and tried all the techniques shown on the foodnetwork channel and just felt worthless. Nothing seemed to work. My Chicago Cutlery knifes failed me, and I was going to give up and forget about ever having good knife skills.
The I received a Cooks magazine that rated this "best value". I ordered a whole set of these and now my friends think I trained under Julia herself! You should see me reduce an onion into paper-thin slices before the first tear even breaks!
I would recommend the Chef's Station model 130 to go with your knives to keep them sharp. Once a good knife goes dull, it's no better than a butter knife. This knife only needs a good honing most of the time to shave onions almost thin as paper, ... Read More
