Kitchen & Housewares : R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
Rating: 
- AWESOME VALUE
Why spend $100 on a knife when you can get the same quality for $25?
Rating: - Superb for the price
I've lived with this knife for a few months, and it's become the one I reach for first. It's a joy to use, maintains a wonderfully sharp edge, and cleans up easily. I wondered if I would like the commercial-grade nonslip handle, but have found that it works well with this large knife. The balance is not what you would get in a high-priced forged knife, but considering what you'll pay, you'll be very pleased with the feel of this knife. At first, I thought the blade might be too thin for an 8-inch knife, but it has turned out to be sturdy. Very high quality-to-price ratio.
Rating: - The Test Kitchen is right
I originally tried this knife after reading the review in Cook's Illustrated. I have several heavier, full tang chef's knives that I always thought felt good in my hand. Surprisingly, this lighter weight, 3/4 tang model felt so comfortable that I started buying them for all my knife-ignorant friends and relatives (you know, the ones that don't know that a dull knife is more dangerous than a very sharp one).
Along with each gift came a little bit of advice as to how to store and maintain the knife. Even though it can probably withstand the dishwasher better than most knives, I still recommend against it.
With a price like this, how can you beat it. Also, it holds an edge much better than my other knives.
Rating: - great knife
This was a great purchase (per cook's illustrated/ america's test kitchen's recommendation) both in terms of price and performance. For a stamped knife it is pretty substantial- not necessarily a good or bad thing, just surprising. The edge is very sharp (on par with my pricey Wustof knifes). The handle is nonslip and comfortable but still cleans easily (not a given with nonslip handles). Food can collect where the handle and blade meet, but that's pretty minor. The heft and handle diameter of the 8" knife may not be right for someone with small hands. All said, this is a great knife. If I'm in the market for a knife, I'll look for this brand first.
Rating: - Great everyday knife
This has turned out to be a great knife for dicing all types of vegetables, which is what I use it for mostly. Following the advice of many others I am hand washing it. It's very sturdy and looks like it will sharpen very well.
