A knife to make you smile |
Every time I pick up this excellent knife I smile, knowing that it's going to be fun to use. It was a gift, and one of the best gifts I have received in a long time. After ten months of heavy use it looks like new.
This knife is lighter than you might expect, which I feel helps me to work rapidly, and is just the right size for excellent control-- I tend to "choke up" on the knife and grip the blade with my thumb for extra control. Its slim profile and the granton edge mean easier chopping and the ability to easily create very thin slices. The light weight means less fatigue. As a result of excellent design, this tool can mow through great quantities of all sorts of veggies. It's also incredibly sharp. A winner and an amazing bargain.
I own other Forschner products, including the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle and R H. Forschner by Victorinox 3.24-Inch Paring Knife, Small Black Polypropylene Handle. Both are also excellent. |

Very, very sharp, keeps it's edge, use a steel to keep it at maximum sharpness |
This is the quintisential (sp?) kitchen chef knife. It is VERY SHARP and should be used with caution. Do not just 'willy nilly' around with this knife. I have used mine twice and bare the two bandages to prove the sharpness of the knife. Use a steel to keep this knife razor sharp.
Actually, my sister, who is an amazing cook recommended this chef knife to me from other reviews that she had read. You do not need to buy a $50.00 to $100.00 chefs knife to get the quality and workmanship of this
R.H. Forschner by Victorinox (Fibrox Handle) knife. Get one now !! (and a box of bandaids if you are clumsy like me.....) |

BEST QUALITY SANTOKU AND FOR THE BEST PRICE. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. |
By far the best Santoku knife that you can buy for the money. I purchased this for $20 +ship and would spend $30 +ship if I had to. Don't waste your money or overpriced Henckels or Wusthof, you will get what you need right here with the R.H. Forschner.
PROS:
1. Ergonomic and slip resistant handle. No concern at all of it slipping out of your hand.
2. Razor-sharp edge. Watch out, the blade on this knife is unbelievably sharp. Slicing through raw potatoes for steak fries was like cutting through butter.
3. Easy to clean. No cracks or crevices for food to build up.
4. Lightweight and well-balanced. This is not a heavy knife. When in use it feel like an extension of your arm. Not a dumbbell. I see the lightness as a positive.
CONS:
n/a
If you do not already have, I recommend purchasing a Blade Saver (holster) for this knife. (1) Because you don't want to dent or damage the blade wherever you place it and (2) So that you don't cut yourself when locating it in your drawer. This is what I recommend: "The Ultimate Edge BS4 4-Piece Knife Blade Saver Set" |

Fantastic Knife ~ The Best I have used. |
I have owned good german Wusthof knives ~ an eight inch chef's knfe and a 3 1/2 inch paring knife. They were of substantial heft, served me well and I enjoyed them, though they were not particularly ever super sharp, especially the paring knife. None the less, I enjoyed them. They were stolen when I left them on the patio after preparing some food for the grill. I replaced the Wusthof knives with some Japanese knives that were highly rated by a respected serious culinary magazine. The Japanes knives were sharper than the Wusthofs and were of acceptable to very good quality but were fragile. They were costly too, but less so than the Wusthofs. I have also used other German and French knives of equal repute as the Wusthof line. Why this background? Just to indicate I have used high quality knives, cook often, and have the experience with decent knives to compare to the Forschner knife in question.
This Forschner 7-inch Granton Edge Santoku is superior to all my previous knives and 80% less costly than the Wustoff eight inch chef knife I previously owned. It is EXTREMELY SHARP and cuts thin slices of tomato perfectly with no effort whatever. I find it a has more a sense of weight than the Forschner six inch chefs knife in the same line. By the way, that is a great little knife too. But this knife has a satisfying bit more heft for heavier jobs, yet is still light and easy to use. It has a great shape for me, and is angled just right to my cutting block. I love the feel of the fibrox handles they use in this line and this one fits my hand perfectly. I have a moderately sized hand.
In my opinion, you cannot find a knife that touches this one for the price. I doubt you will find a better one at five times the price. I would be quite surprised if you found a sharper one. If you want to treat yourself to an excellent, user friendly knife at a very reasonable price, you cannot go wrong with this knife. You will be very pleased you decided to select it. It is a gem. It is simply an excellent kitchen tool you will find excuses too use. |

Great knife for the money. |
|
This knife works really well and cuts and slices with ease. I checked out various reviews of knives and this one always came under "good knife for under $50," and that is absolutely the truth. No frills, cuts well, will probably only last about 7-10 years, but that's okay for the value. Very happy with this purchase. |
