 Nice small chef's knife March 23, 2008

This is a wonderful knife. I don't think I've used a really good knife since I was growing up. My dad was a master cook and always had good knives that he kept razor sharp, but I've never owned a good set of knives. I wanted to buy some good quality kitchen knives but didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars, so I started reading reviews here and other places online. The Forschner knives had great reviews and I liked the idea of the Fibrox handle, which is slightly textured. I feel like I made a great choice. The knife is sharp, lightweight, and has good balance. The Fibrox handle is perfect for me; easy to grip and non-slip. I have arthritis and some weakness in my hands so knives with wooden or hard handles hurt my hands. This knife is a joy to use; it makes slicing and chopping for meals fun and easy and I find myself cooking more because of it. I intend to buy more of this line of knives. Highly recommended.
Great utility/small chef's knife March 12, 2008

I bought this knife primarily for cutting up chickens, which it handles with ease. It outshines my cheapo chef's knife from college so much that I've been using it for all of my slicing and dicing until I can get the 8-inch version. The six-inch blade is a bit small for some tasks, so it's better as a compliment to a larger knife rather than a replacement. It's a great knife to have around when a chef's knife is too big for the job. You really have to work to get the knife to slip out of your hand; the Fibrox is an amazing material. Also note that the blade is angled somewhat from the handle, which keeps your fingers from hitting the cutting board when you're slicing.

I purchased this knife and an 8-inch chef's knife (Forschner) at the same time, thinking that the 8-incher would be my primary knife. Everyone in the family uses this 6" knife all the time. It fits the hand so well and chops veggies superbly. A great bargain too.
Well-made, tough, and extremely sharp April 15, 2009

This Victorinox 6-Inch Chef's knife is a great value because it is extremely sharp, holds an edge, and lasts forever. It saves money with more expensive meats because it allows you to leave the meat as intact as possible by quickly and cleanly removing only silverskin, fat, and gristle. No, it is not as good as the Wusthof 6-inch Classic Chef's knife, but the Wusthof is for cooks who are in the kitchen every single day, and the Wustof Classic series enjoys one great advantage over its other kitchen competitors -- balance.
Still, I strongly recommend this Victorinox 6-inch knife because it is well made and tough. For the price, it can't be beat!
Smaller, light and sharp May 2, 2008

Bought this knife after buying and using the 8 inch, top rated chefs knife. I was hoping for an equally good, useful but smaller knife -- and got it!
At first the knife seemed to be really light, and it is, much lighter than the 8 inch. But there are no compromises on strength or quality. The handle is the same material (Fibrox) as the 8 inch and really easy to hold onto if your hand gets wet or greasy.
The blade is/stays sharp like it's bigger brother. I found it easier to cut a bagel with this knife than with the bread knife I usually use. Last night I sliced up a large roast Boston Butt and the 6 incher did the job as well as the larger knife, especially with near the bone cuts, where the smaller blade was easier to use.
All in all, another great knife from Forschner!
