8" carving knife Review by 8" Carving knife

Rating

I received this as a wedding present in 1993 and it is without a doubt the BEST knife in my kitchen. I jokingly tell others I would get rid of my husband before getting rid of this knife!

Love Victorinox Knives Review by Jamichau

Rating

I have the 8" chef and the 10" carving. I first read about them in the Equipment Roundup section of a Cook's Country mailer several years ago. The 8" chef was rated the best knife under $50. The knives were very sharp right out of the package, hold their edge well, and re-sharpen well when necessary. Great knives.

a must in my kitchen Review by merrill

Rating

I have a few expensive forged German stainless and a few Japanese chef's knives. Many people told me that the quality is second to none on the Victorinox Forschner chef's knife so I just had to get it. This has officially become my daily-use go-to knife! I swear by my forschner boning carving knives already, so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. Don't get me wrong, I like my expensive knives but I'm so afraid to damage them. Do your homework "doubting thomas ", the knife is the same as it has always been. Rate the quality of the knife as well as the stamp. Furthermore, both companies have a stellar reputation. Great knife.

Response from Swiss Knife Shop:
We apologize for any confusion, but please rest assured that despite the fact that it does not say R.H. Forschner, the knife you received was exactly what you ordered. R.H. Forschner by Victorinox has a new name, but remains otherwise unchanged. As per a press release from the manufacturer (a link to the press release is included below), R.H. Forschner knives have not changed at all, they are simply being branded as Victorinox Swiss Army instead of R.H. Forschner by Victorinox. The press release includes some company history and details. Swiss Knife Shop is in the process of revising our site to reflect this change.

If you are unhappy with your purchase due to this change, please feel free to contact us for a return authorization, provided the item is in its original condition.

This knife is a must-have in your kitchen. Review by Kathy

Rating

After reading in my Cook's Illustrated Magazine that after testing, this R.H. Forschner 8 inch Chef's Knife won the distinction of Best Value chef's knife, and their review said "This is exactly what a knife is supposed to be," I decided it was time I purchase a chef's knife. I'd always been afraid to handle such a large knife before. I found this knife lightweight and very easy to handle. I use it often and enjoy all it can do. It is very sharp and handles beautifully. I have purchased many for gifts and feel good knowing I am giving a truly useful tool.
