Product Description

The R H Forschner by Victorinox Utility Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

All these years I thought Old Hickory made a good knife and when I finally got tired of sharpening it and wiping the rust off, I got this Victorinox - holy cow, what a great little knife!

Holds a great edge for weeks (we use it multiple times every day) and when it needs sharpening just a couple of strokes with the disc sharpener and it's brand new again.

The handle is tough as nails and of course unlike the Old Hickory, it's red, so you can find it easily on the wooden cutting board ;)

Finally, the handle shape and blade flex really seem to be a great combination. Both my wife and I find it just about right for any light to medium cutting we're doing.

UPDATE: 05/06/2011, still using this knife daily and still loving it. I see it's no longer available - too bad!

This little knife is sharp and works great on slicing and dicing the smaller veggies and the price was great. I also bought one for a family member who loves it, too. I would highly recommend it.
