Kitchen & Housewares : R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
Rating: 
- Perfect Chef's Knife
For me, this knife is everything I ever wanted: quality and affordable. At first when I took it out of the box it looked huge. However, I found that for a petite girl this knife is easy to maneuver and the handle isn't cumbersome, it's comfortable to grip. The blade is sharp and thin (not flimsy), which makes chopping onions and everything else ridiculously quick and easy. I enjoy cooking as a hobby, and this makes me want to be in the kitchen even more! When I bought this item it was only $20, and there is no way you can beat that price. Add the paring knife for $5 and you'll have 2 versatile knives that can cover most any cutting task in the kitchen. I highly recommend this item, but you may want to add some blade covers to your order if you don't have other storage arrangements; I wouldn't want to leave this knife in a drawer to get banged up or cut you.

- Great, affordable knife
Never could get myself to spend the $$$$ on a kitchen knife. This knife was so affordable I bought two, and gave one to a friend. Works great! And the graphics on the side of the knife really aren't as visible as I expected based on the graphic above.
Rating: - Forschner 8 Inch Chef's Knife - A Pretty Reliable Performer, Nice Value
The Forschner line-up of knives are pretty impressive, considering the reasonable cost. This particular model, the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle is one of my personal favorites.
This knife is excellent for general kitchen use and holds its edge for a long time. In addition, the Fibrox handle is very comfortable in the hand.
The R H. Forschner by Victorinox 7-Inch Granton Edge Santoku Knife, Black Fibrox Handle is also a nice alternative, and I enjoy both these knives. While the shorter blade and ridges of the Santoku model make it ideal for chopping, this 8-inch chefs knife is perhaps a more versatile performer overall.
Other than those two knives, I mainly only use a filet knife and a paring knife when cooking. After purchasing more than my fair share of budget knife sets, I have come to rely on my four favorite knives. The rest of the knives I own rarely if ever see any use.
Definitely consider these knives as opposed to a knife and block set. A few carefully selected knives are better than a set of average knives any day.
Enjoy.
Rating: - A good knife
Basiclly speaking, this is a good knife. It is light, and also sharp. The only thing is that the blade is too thin that it would be curved if you hit the hard place. Actually, it happened to me...
Rating: - A real spoiler
Yes, that's right. This knife is at least as enjoyable to use as my set of
Global knives. Perfectly balanced feel and sharp as a razor this is great
knife at a great price. I can see why these knives are always found in
professional kitchens. I can remember the days when I worked in
restaurants, and watched the salad chefs wailing away with these. Highly
recommended even at twice the price.
