Product Description
The R H Forschner by Victorinox Chef's Knife features an 10-inch blade that is 2.25-inches wide at the handle. High carbon, stainless steel blade is hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

Product Details
  • Light weight and long blade make it great for cooks with larger hands and frequent big chopping jobs

Review Date: March 18, 2010
Reviewer: Ten to 5, West Lafayette
I was a little hesitant about buying a knife this expensive. After all, I'm a new cook. I try to research my purchases beforehand so I don't buy the wrong products and this knife is really good. After researching, Victorinox seems to be one of the best brands out there and it definitely is the best value for your money.

It's unfortunate that the knife doesn't have a sleeve. Otherwise, it would have gotten a five star. Then again, it's probably because most of the professional cooks already have a sleeve for the knife whereas I don't, since this is my first knife.

The first time that I used this knife, I can feel the difference between this and the cheap knives bought in Walmart. I've never had to buy knives since I usually share with a roommate and they usually have one. However, I decided to buy one and I would never buy one in walmart again. This knife is really sharp and it's been 3 months and I haven't had to sharpen it yet. Hopefully not soon anyway. This is my only knife so I use it to cut meat and vegetables. The knife glides through meat and vegetables very easily. I also cut frozen meat sometimes, without defrosting it, it still cuts through it.

Reviewer: Sue Smith,
We had a whole set of these knives at home already. I bought 2 more for some cooking workshops that I host (after totally wasting my money on cheaper ones that wouldn't cut worth a darn). The knives work fabulously, especially for being relatively inexpensive.

Cooks Illustrated rated this knife the best in their comparison of chef's knives. I bought one for myself a year ago and liked it so much I got one for a friend last Christmas. Victorinox seems to have won all their tests. I would really like a Robert Kramer Damascus steel knife for the sheer beauty of the workmanship but at $100 an inch, it's too steep for my blood. I took myself off his 3 year waiting list. Darn it!
user comment R H. Forschner by Victorinox 10 Inch Chefs Knife, Black Fibrox Handle Unbelievable Value

Reviewer: P David, Salt Lake City, Utah
Purchased based on Cook's Illustrated review of the 8" version, and I am not disappointed. If you are accustomed to a heavy knife, as I was, it will take a little bit of time to get used to the light weight of this one. But, it didn't take long for me to appreciate the lighter weight (chopping and slicing for Thanksgiving dinner). I have since ordered the 8" and the round-tip slicer, and have been happy with all of them. My next order will be for the boning knife and a 6" chef's for the smaller hands in the house. The ideal size for me would be a 9"... I find the 8" to be a little small and the 10" to be a little large, but I find myself reaching for the 10" more often than the 8". Another review complained that the knife does not hold an edge. I have not found that to be a problem in two months of relatively heavy use; I only use wood cutting boards and that may be a factor in the edge life. For a knife that costs less than $30, this is a great buy!
