R H. Forschner by Victorinox 10-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

but all I can say is wow! Great knife...sooo sharp, nice feel, and weight. Well balanced too. Great buy!
I guard mine like I do my Henckels!

I'm not a professional chef and I don't use my knives to make a living, so my review is only based on my home cooking use. I was faced with rebuilding my kitchen essentials and I needed some decent kitchen knives at a reasonable price. After doing much research I decided to try the Forschner knives, and I'm awfully glad I did.

These are the best knives I have ever used. I will grant that I've never been able to afford and have never used the very top end, top brand knives, but I have used a wide variety over my many years. In the past, if the blade was good, the handle was awful, and vice versa. With this knife, I was completely satisfied with the edge right out of the package and it has been easy to keep sharp. The handle design fits my particular hand like a glove.

The ten inch knife is almost more knife than I need, as a rule. I also have the 8-Inch Chef's Knife and find myself reaching for that knife first. Then again, I have a very small kitchen with a limited workspace and though it may sound goofy, the smaller knife is easier to use in the space I have. Having said that, if the eight-inch is waiting to be washed I have no qualms about grabbing the ten-inch and chopping away. While I suspect that someone who does a lot of heavy duty cutting of heavy items might like a heftier knife with a wider back, I haven't had occasion to need it.

I like the fact that I don't have to worry about maintaining a fancy handle. The only problem I have with the care of these knives is not cutting myself while washing them. Highly recommended.

This knife is great! It is very sharp and comes in handy almost daily.

I'm a big guy and when I cook I like to cook big. For cutting up onions, beef, carrots, etc. this knife really does the job. I find myself reaching for it first, passing over the Henkels knives. The blade is a bit more flexible and the Fibrox handle gives the knife a solid feel even when wet. A lot of people are afraid of a big knife so don't be surprised when your guests express shock when you pull it out of the knife block. This is a quality knife at a good price

This is the best knife I have ever used. Lightweight, large, and very sharp!! I would definitely buy this product again.
