A great tool! June 18, 2008
beemers&brats (Wisconsin)
I have been looking for bread knife longer than the typical 8" but also one that had an offset handle. I make some larger loaves in the oven but even my breadmaker loaves are a bit big for an 8" knife. The curved blade and long length of this knife make any size loaf workable. If I have one concern it is that when cutting a heavy or stiff bread the blade drifts one direction or the other. I have learned to compensate for that characteristic. For that I would deduct a star but, this knife cuts a whole lot more than bread. I use it for meat, tomatoes, mushrooms, or most anything in the vegetable kingdom and meats (but not bones).
At $26 or so, it is a great value. I looked back on my Amazon purchase and found that I paid a lot less.
Sharp, inexpensive, comfortable. June 9, 2008

I bought this based on the America's Test Kitchen review, but was somewhat skeptical. When I used it I was completely won over. Best I've used, even though not impressive looking. If you want function over beauty, get this.
Outstanding knife May 29, 2008

I suspect that from now on, I will only buy Froschner knives. They don't look all that good, but are outstandingly engineered.
We already had the very nice Chicago Cutlery 10" bread knife when I thought of buy this since the Chicago knife tended to "pull" to the left when I cut. This knife also has a slight pull but the depth of the blad allows for more control.
The fibrox handle has a nice feel, though not as nice appearance as the walnut on the Chicago Cutlery knife.
The knife is sharp and perfect for cutting anything from delicate pasties up to crusty European bread. It's a winner.
Love it May 19, 2008

Great knife, good price. Have only had it a few weeks but so far seems like it'll be my favorite, I'll be using it a lot. Really sharp, cuts very well.

I work in a restaurant kitchen where I prep the entire menu daily. I've used the Fibrox 10" chef knife for over a year and am very satisfied. The 10.25" bread knife is a recent purchase that I use for tomatoes, romaine, squash and other items that must be sliced in bulk. This is a very good knife at a great price - not so expensive that I worry about damaging the blade but sharp enough to get the job done. Only downside? Because this knife is ground on only one side, the blade tends to travel away from straight line cuts.
