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.

5 out of 5 stars Great knife for cheap!   July 3, 2008
Cindy S. Harris (Mountain View, CA United States)
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.


5 out of 5 stars It Cut My Entire Hand Off!   July 3, 2008

It's that sharp. For it cut my entire hand off. maybe you will want a more dull knive for kniving. I had to use the other hand to type this very message! It's a good thing I have several. All I wanted to do was chop broccoli, but it felt so good. You know what it's like to get carried away.

Crunch (Chicago)
Went to a "knife skills" class at a Chicago cooking school and realized what a good knife can do in the kitchen. But, then I gagged at the prices. Surfed the Internet and found the reviews for the Forschners, and decided to take a chance. Got the 8" Chef and 7" Santoku about a month ago. Fantastic knives. Light weight, very sharp and great balance. All in all, I think they are superior to the $150 to $500 knives we used in the class.


5 out of 5 stars Great knife -- awesome price   June 19, 2008

Recommended by one of my cooking magazines; excellent quality -- low price. They have several in their test kitchen; what more could be said?


4 out of 5 stars Great Product at a Great Price   June 16, 2008
Deborah J. Vessey (Hockessin, DE USA)
Received my knife a few weeks ago. I love how it fits my hand and how it cuts. My only reservation is that it now has a couple of stains on the blade that won't clean off. I will be buying more of their knives.
