Get this knife! August 11, 2008

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, and it's incredibly comfortable to hold and control.
You *can* put this on the top shelf of the dishwasher if you want, but be prepared for more work keeping it sharp. Handwash this best-buy for sharpness longeveity, and mention Americas Test Kitchen in your prayers.
A good knife does not necessarily make a good cook, but good cooks have good knives, and this is a perfect knife that's worth twice or three times it's price.
This is a must have. Better yet, shop for the whole set with the block.

R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
This is an excellent knife - great design, razor sharp.
 Great handle, good blade August 5, 2008

I love the fibrox handle - cutting bbq from my smoker or trimming meat for any type of cooking, it never feels slippery. 8 inch blade is easy to handle. My wife and I found the blade to not be up to our standards for sharpness out of the box and testing against her favorite chef's knife proved first impressions to be true. Sharpened, it became the workhorse knife of the kitchen.
I just chipped the blade abusing it by substituting it for my missing butcher knife and am back to buy another. If the "boneless" frozen pork been truly boneless, it would have survived. Coming back to buy another is probably the highest recommendation I can give but it has as much to do with it's price as it does it's utility.
My wife still prefers her Japanese knife but we certainly wouldn't try to substitute it for a butcher knife due to the cost. With the relatively low cost of the Forschner, I don't have to worry. Wish I could graft the handle to all my knives.
