Product Description
In 1884 Master Cutler Karl Elsner started his cutlery factory in Ibach, Switzerland and in 1897 he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time the Elsner family has continued to craft tools of percision, durability and quality. Victorinox is one of the largest producers of cutlery in the world. Victorinox cutlery has been distributed in the United States since 1884 to culinary professionals under the brand name R.H. Forschner. Each blade is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched and finished.

One Fantastic Knife!,
By
This review is from: Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife (Kitchen)
This is really a great knife at a super price! I was very skeptical about purchasing a stamped knife rather than a forged one but I took a leap of faith and purchased it based on a top rating by Cook's Illustrated. It quickly became my knife of choice. The blade remains incredibly sharp for far longer than any similiar knife. But the real beauty of this knife is in the handle feel and blade balance. Unlike any other chef knife I have ever used, I can work all day with this knife with little hand fatigue or blisters. The handle remains firm in my hand even when wet or oily. I strongly recommend this knife - you won't be sorry. It is a real winner!

It just works!,

This review is from: Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife (Kitchen)
Like the other reviewers I bought this after reading about it in Cooks Illustrated. I was looking to replace an old chef's knife I'd had for many years and figured at the price of the Forschner, the worst thing that could happen is that I'd have replace it quickly, but at minimal loss.Turns out the Cooks Illustrated review was correct. This knife as become a quick favorite. It takes and keeps and edge, is well balanced, and is comfortable to use.. Although it's supposed to be dishwasher safe, I always hand clean this blade. This knife, along with those made by Tremontina, show that really good tools don't have to be expensive. It if makes you feel good to buy high-priced cutlery, have at it. But, if having a good chef's knife that just works, buy the Forschner.

Great Knife,

This review is from: Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife (Kitchen)
The Knife has performed excellently in all situations. I have been using it frequently for 2 months and it has still kept its razor sharp edge. The only possible complaint that I could level against it is because it is stamped rather than forged it doesn't weigh much. The light weight of the knife doesn't effect its performance but gives it a strange feel. The feel of the knife is very comfortable with an ergonomic handle (Fibrox) which is very easy to clean. I would definitely suggest the purchase of this fine blade.
