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

This product was highly recommended by the America's Test Kitchen program which is why I got it. The 8 inch blade is very sharp and the handle is very comfortable. I haven't had it long enough to require sharpening it yet -- only 4 months. The price is very, very good. I would rate this knife much higher than the more expensive Henckels knives.

This was the Best Buy Recommendation in Cook's Illustrated magazine and with good reason. This is a fabulous knive, ergonomic, easy to use and slices and dices like a dream. This is my new "go to" wedding and shower gift.

I LOVE this knife!!! It's the first knife I go for when I want to cut/chop anything. I returned a Henckels set b/c it didn't compare to the sharpness of this knife.

This knife is a great value. Recomended by America's Test Kitchen and they know what they are talking about. It is sharp and balanced. Easy to clean. My favorite to use.

Opening the package I was skeptical. It looked so plain with its stamped steel blade and molded handle. After using it once I could see why the ratings were so high. The blade is very sharp. The curve of the blade makes for a natural rocking motion for mincing. The fibrox handle always gives a sure grip even with slippery hands. My only problem with this knife was the fact that it was a bit too wide to fit in my knife block. No problem, it's worth going to the drawer for this knife.
