R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

I bought this knife because of the Cooks Illustrated review. I love it. It's a versatile size, very sharp and comfortable in my hand.

"America's Test Kitchen" recommended the Forschner as a good knife. It Is. The knife arrived quickly, and in great condition.

i saw this one on amazon, and bought one on the good reviews here. this one cuts great! my wife was pleasantly surprised at how well it cuts for the price we paid. highly recommended if you are looking for a budget/everyday knife.

can't beat the quality for the price. a perfect everyday knife you don't have to baby.

I recently received this chef's knife and I find it very sharp and well made. It is noticably sharper than my older Wustoff knives and the blade is nice and wide for scooping items off the cutting board. It was sharp enough to effortlessly cut paper thin slices from some stringy leftover steak tips that I pulled out of the fridge for fajitas. The grip is rather large which may not be great for those with small hands but it is a rubbery non-slip surface that would make it great for commercial applications. I may get the 10" version as well. This knife combined with a good paring knife and a serrated bread knife would be all you need to start out with. I have a small MAC knife and this knife is just as sharp. This inexpensive item would make a great gift to anyone who cooks for themselves and their family. The blade is stamped I believe but it is not flimsy at all and has a nice heft to it. I do not believe that you could find a significantly sharper blade for 10 times the price.
