Product Description
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.

Best affordable Chef Knife September 1, 2010

Bought this because it was recommended as the best value for the money on America's test kitchen. If you don't want to spend $$$ for the high priced Chef's knife, then this is a quality choice. Stays sharp, well balance for my liking.
My "Go-To" Knife August 29, 2010

This knife is very versatile and I use it for the majority of my culinary cutting and slicing needs. Good weight, well balanced, non-slip composite grip and keeps a nice edge. I always hand-wash it and advise any users to do the same (basic advice for all high-end knives).
Overall, a great standard Chef's knife at a very reasonable price! I highly recommend this to anyone.
Great for the price August 29, 2010

This knife has become my go to knife in the kitchen. I own quite a few of the fancier, more expensive knives but I always reach for this one. Why? It's light weight, sharp [and holds it's sharpness better than the expensive ones], and does the job well. Had I known about this knife sooner, I most definately would have saved the money and purchased this brand only. There's a reason why Cook's Illustrated likes it so much. If you go into a Sur la Table, you can cut with it to feel it-they use them a lot in their classes due to their durability and price point.
 a good knife August 18, 2010

I read all the comments by other purchasers and decided that this is the knife for me. It is a bit larger than I anticipated but really works well. Although I am not a fancy cook, every kitchen needs one reliable knife and this fits the bill. If you like a smaller knife, then maybe this is not the size for you but it is nonetheless a very good performing all around knife.
Great knife! August 16, 2010

I was reading an issue of Cooks Illustrated, and they had mentioned what a great knife this was. Were they right! I literally use this knife for EVERYTHING! And when you notice that it is getting dull, just sharpen it. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good knife. I am planning on getting a paring knife and maybe a smaller chef's knife as well. I love this brand!!!!
