Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Make sure everyone enjoys their steak with this smooth cutting set of six steak knives from RH Forschner by Victorinox, packaged in a handsome gift box that's great for storing for special occasions. The 4-1/2-inch serrated blades have a rounded tip and ergonomically designed black polypropylene handles. Made in Switzerland, the commercial quality blades are made from stamped stainless steel with a high carbon content. All blades are conically ground on the full length of the blade as well as ground crosswise, which results in a wider break point with less risk of blade fracturing and less resistance for ease of cutting. 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.

Hand washing is recommended, as the heat and the agitation of a dishwasher is not good for the edge of the blades and detergents can cause spots. The handles will also discolor with constant use of the dishwasher. The knives are backed by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturers defects.

Product Description

RH Forschner by Victorinox is the knife of choice for professionals and consistently receives high accolades in product testing. This best-in-class commercial grade cutlery is now available for home use. RH Forschner by Victorinox knives feature high carbon, stainless steel blades, 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.

I'm always baffled by people that give a bad review for a feature that is obvious from the pictures shown. Yes, the handles are thin. I could use a thicker handle as well, but I knew that going in.

We've had these for long enough to give an opinion and that is that they have not me down. Still sharp, still look good after many trips through the dishwasher and that is why I bought them.

I love the blunt/rounded tips as they don't cut up the silverware basket in the dishwasher.

Incredibly sharp. The handles could have been better but I am very happy with the knives. They make cooking and eating better when you don't struggle cutting something. As sharp as Cutco at 1/5 the price.

This review is from: Victorinox Cutlery 6-Piece 4-1/2-Inch Wavy Edge with Round Tip Steak Knife Set, Black Po (Kitchen)

Way back in 1992 - my husband was on a business trip to Switzerland. While we were there, we were looking at the big name European knives. We happened to purchase a set of these as steak knives since they were very reasonable in price compared to the big brand names. At the time, the only Victorinox knives available in the US were the Swiss Army knives.

These were the best purchase from that trip. They stay sharp - we used them more as a utility knife rather than a steak knife. Tossed them into the dishwasher, pretty much abused them and they still continued to be our knife of choice for every day cutting.

Now, 18 years later, I still have a couple from the original set - the others were lost or misplaced but never broken. I am so glad I can replace the missing ones. Yes, the knife is light weight and yes it does have a textured plastic handle. However that textured surface makes it easy to hang onto when your hands are wet. I want a knife that cuts and that I can count on without having to perform a lot of maintenance. I have no problem gathering these up to use for guests but then I prefer function over looks and these fit the bill.
