What Others Say
a true value on a great kinfe
i have used r.h. forschner knives since 1966.the best kitchen knife value there is.i like this one as much as all of my others.
Forschner Number 1 Choice of Professionals
I purchased the 8 piece Forschner block set (plus the 7 inch Santoku), and highly recommend this set and the extra 7 inch Santoku which fits in the same block.
The deciding factor for me were the comments by professional chefs and butchers on various web sites
including this one.
The problem with purchasing individual knives is that the cases are very expensive (with shipping and handling the mark up over mfg cost must be 1000%?), but you just cannot have sharp knives loose in a drawer. The block is essentially free if you compare the piece part prices, and if you have small kitchen it uses the least space, further away from kids hands, less fiddly than the knife safes as well.
As for what you get in the block set, ... Read More
A knife to make you smile
Every time I pick up this excellent knife I smile, knowing that it's going to be fun to use. It was a gift, and one of the best gifts I have received in a long time. After ten months of heavy use it looks like new.
This knife is lighter than you might expect, which I feel helps me to work rapidly, and is just the right size for excellent control-- I tend to "choke up" on the knife and grip the blade with my thumb for extra control. Its slim profile and the granton edge mean easier chopping and the ability to easily create very thin slices. The light weight means less fatigue. As a result of excellent design, this tool can mow through great quantities of all sorts of veggies. It's also incredibly sharp. A winner and an amazing ... Read More
Very, very sharp, keeps it's edge, use a steel to keep it at maximum sharpness
This is the quintisential (sp?) kitchen chef knife. It is VERY SHARP and should be used with caution. Do not just 'willy nilly' around with this knife. I have used mine twice and bare the two bandages to prove the sharpness of the knife. Use a steel to keep this knife razor sharp.
Actually, my sister, who is an amazing cook recommended this chef knife to me from other reviews that she had read. You do not need to buy a $50.00 to $100.00 chefs knife to get the quality and workmanship of this
R.H. Forschner by Victorinox (Fibrox Handle) knife. Get one now !! (and a box of bandaids if you are clumsy like me.....)
BEST QUALITY SANTOKU AND FOR THE BEST PRICE. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
By far the best Santoku knife that you can buy for the money. I purchased this for $20 +ship and would spend $30 +ship if I had to. Don't waste your money or overpriced Henckels or Wusthof, you will get what you need right here with the R.H. Forschner.
PROS:
1. Ergonomic and slip resistant handle. No concern at all of it slipping out of your hand.
2. Razor-sharp edge. Watch out, the blade on this knife is unbelievably sharp. Slicing through raw potatoes for steak fries was like cutting through butter.
3. Easy to clean. No cracks or crevices for food to build up.
4. Lightweight and well-balanced. This is not a heavy knife. When in use it feel like an extension of your arm. Not a dumbbell. I see the lightness ... Read More
