Kitchen & Housewares : R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
Rating: 
- Everything they say
Considering the rave reviews that Cook's Illustrated Magazine and many Amazon customers have given this knife and the deal I got (almost half the cost of when it was originally released a few years ago) this purchase seemed like a no brainer. I've owned a couple of different forged chef's knives and I'd yet to find one that felt truly balanced. Not long after receiving this knife, I was preparing a fairly complex skillet chicken dish that involved bone-in skin-on chicken breasts. Before searing them in a skillet, I had to cut the large breast pieces into thirds. I was using a forged and fairly hefty cleaver and I was slipping around on my wood cutting board trying to get through the bones. Frustrated and pressed for time, I put the cleaver aside and took out the Forschner knife. It felt much lighter in my hand and I have to admit, even after reading all the reviews, I was skeptical that this knife would succeed where a hefty cleaver was failing miserably. The Forschner cut through the bone like it was butter and I got all my chopping done in seconds. This chef's knife now has the spot in my knife block that the cleaver had. Since then, I've also used the knife for everything from chopping vegetables to mincing garlic. I've experienced unprecedented ease of use with this cutlery and got a fantastic deal on it too. This chef's knife is an excellent value and I can't recommend it enough!
Rating: - Nice Knife!
Great knife for the money! A real pleasure to use when slicing tomatoes etc. Sharp!

I've only had this for 2 days now, but I've made salsa, and cut up veggies for dinner with it already. I have never had a knife like this. It is sharp and the handle is comfortable. I felt that I had a lot of control with the knife, and my chopping was much quicker than usual.

Cook's Magazine, which does almost ridiculously extensive testing of kitchen products and recipes, says this is the chef's knife to buy at any price. Fortunately, at about $20 on Amazon, the Forschner Victronix knife is a bargain. It's sharp, balanced well and makes food prep a breeze. I'd also read about the knife on a blog by an amateur chef in the Bay Area. Those two sources, and my frustration with every knife I'd ever bought previously, convinced me that everyone needs at least one good knife at their disposal, so I ordered this one. There may well be a $90 knife out there I would like better, but for 20 bucks, you can't go wrong with this bad boy...

I had had 2 of these knives (a roomate left with one) and it is reliable, sharpens well and is easy to use and handle. Much better then some of the more expensive chef's knives.
