Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: this IS the knife Comment: can't think of anything better than this knife. well, maybe a 10" to keep it company. Customer Rating: Summary: Great knife for the $$ Comment: I really didn't believe this knife would be this good, considering the cost. My other chef knives are $100 henkels, and they are great, but I am turning to this one all the time. I really like the weight, balance, and the feel of the handle. And it's damn sharp! Customer Rating: Summary: Be Careful! Comment: I bought this knife on the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated and because my Henkles was refusing to keep an edge. All the reviews say it comes with a "razor sharp" edge. Trust me, it does. I was chopping an onion and my index finger got a little too close. The Henkles knife would have glanced right off my finger nail. This knife sliced my finger nail right off, from cuticle to end. Other than that, it came as advertised -- good heft, excellent feel in the handle, "razor sharp" and inexpensive. Customer Rating: Summary: The knife Chefs really use Comment: I actually learned of Forschner knives from my daughter who works for a caterer and as a prep chef at an Edible arrangements store. She uses the fancy so-called professional chef's knives at the catering gig where appearences and impressions are crucial and uses the Fibrox knives at the fruit store where function and performance are most important. She loves these knives and gives them as gifts all the time. She does own a set of high end asian knives but uses the Fibrox knives where it matters....on the job. It's kinda like when those really expensive German hand tool brands claim they are the choice of pros when almost all technicians worldwide use Snap-on hand tools. I also own a few Japanese chef's knives but love the out-of-box edge on the Fibrox. The blade is deep enough so that I don't knock my knuckles and the handle is shaped so that I can hold it with a firm grip without placing too much downward pressure on the blade. I sharpen my own knives and the Fibrox is very easy to re-sharpen and maintains an edge as well as any kitchen knife I have used. Overall a great value and excellent tool. Customer Rating: Summary: Great knife for cheap! Comment: I can't say enough great things about this knife. I work as a personal chef, and it's invaluable for the hours of prep work I do each week. Stays sharp very well, with the occasional run against the back of a ceramic plate. Love it. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: The 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.
