a super knife at a great price! November 11, 2008
I recently bought this Victorinox chefs knife from a recent review from Cooks Magazine. They were right it's
an excellent knife for the price. You could spend much more for a knife this good, but why spend the money when this knife is so darn good!
Thanks!
Every kitchen must have! November 10, 2008
One of my magazines, Cooks Illustrated, tests out products across the board. This was voted the BEST Chef's knife by them. It beat out $250 knives by the well-known brands (they tested dozens)...so for this price, I had to try it. It is amazing - great for big or small items. I bought 2 more for Xmas gifts...a must have for every kitchen.
a chef knifen to last a lifetime November 10, 2008
I've owned thesame knife with a genuine eastIndian rosewood(Dalbergia latifolia) handle for thirty years and since I used it daily, I sharpened it monthly using my own design of a profesional grinder(I sharpenedd knives and tools professionally as a side business)the steel has narrowed by about 3/8" but otherwise is still in pristine condition so much for the criticism of stamped steel vs forged blades( today non forged blades are laser cut). My sole criticism isthat my handle is wquite massive; my hands are large but people with medium to small hands might find that feature annoying(the Fibrox hndles appear in the pictures to be slimmer.
the steel however is beyond reproach and develops an edge sharper than my Wusthoff knives which cost a small fortune.
Adding a good paring knife, Forschners are fineand priced right will get you through 90% or more of a home kitchen tasks, justfind a good pro sharpener and have your knives sharpened every three months and "steel them before each use and I recommend settinjg your steel on a counter covered with a pot holder or towel and angle your knife at a+/- 10 degrees to the steel to reduce the tendencyof steeling to round the cuttingedge, lock you wrist and use a light touch.
awesome knife! November 5, 2008

Perfect Chef's Knife October 28, 2008

For me, this knife is everything I ever wanted: quality and affordable. At first when I took it out of the box it looked huge. However, I found that for a petite girl this knife is easy to maneuver and the handle isn't cumbersome, it's comfortable to grip. The blade is sharp and thin (not flimsy), which makes chopping onions and everything else ridiculously quick and easy. I enjoy cooking as a hobby, and this makes me want to be in the kitchen even more! When I bought this item it was only $20, and there is no way you can beat that price. Add the paring knife for $5 and you'll have 2 versatile knives that can cover most any cutting task in the kitchen. I highly recommend this item, but you may want to add some blade covers to your order if you don't have other storage arrangements; I wouldn't want to leave this knife in a drawer to get banged up or cut you.
