The R.H. Forschner 8-Piece Block Set by Victorinox features 6 Forschner knives with Fibrox handles and extremely sharp blades that holds their edges. In addition, it includes a set of 3" kitchen shears, a 10" regular cut sharpening steel and a slant hardwood oak block for storage.
The patented Fibrox knife handles are dishwasher safe and slip resistant, even when wet. They are also NSF approved, as crevices that would offer hospitality to bacteria are minimized. As with all R.H. Forschner knives, the handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension and provide a natural fit.
This set includes everything the home chef needs:
- 4 inch rabbit/utility knife
- 6 inch boning knife
- 8 inch chef's knife
- 10 inch slicing/carving knife
- 8 inch bread knife
- 10 inch sharpening steel
- 3 inch kitchen shears
- Slanted oak knife block for storage
Forschner
knives all have high carbon, stainless steel blades that are hand finished at Victorinox in
Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. Each knife is stamped from a single sheet
of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched
and finished. Victorinox uses a special tempering process to produce an
edge that can be resharpened over and over again.
The R.H. Forschner 8 inch Chef's Knife won the distinction of Best Value in the April, 2007 Cook's Illustrated test. Testers for this popular consumer magazine summarized their review by saying, "This is exactly what a knife is supposed to be."
