Chef's best friend November 25, 2007

Forschner is by far the best knife for the money. They always arrive razor sharp, and have the ability to hold an edge far longer than much more expensive knives. I purchased one for all of my line cooks as they are very durable and can be used to perform almost any task in a professional kitchen.
The "sports mom" comment that it "felt cheap" was probably due to its light weight and composite plastic handle. To an untrained eye, it could be confused for a "cheap" knife, but after de-boning a chicken, slicing through a butternut squash, it still glides through tomatoes like butter and can perform the most surgical of cuts. The composite plastic handle has an amazing grip even when your hands are covered in duck fat, it won't slip.
I own knives that can run up into the $1200 range, but still prefer this little powerhouse for everyday use. If you only own one sharp knife in your entire kitchen, this should be the one. I also have the 10 inch forschner chefs knife, but prefer the graton edge on this one, especially while slicing potatoes.

A great knife with nice weight and balance. Once you use it you will never go back to other knives. Mine arrived not very sharp but a few swipes of the sharpening stone and it was great. I love it.

The Victorinox Fibrox line of knives are all composed of the same high grade metal and well built handles. Cooks Illustrated did indeed rate these knives. However, this santoku was not one of them I believe. The article I read was of the chef's knife.
I have tried many different santoku knives but this one feels the most at home. For me the handle is a little small but it's light. Deceptively light. You wouldn't believe how easily it can go through anything you put it against.
The Granton edge does indeed help with food coming off of the knife. Unless you are chopping something that REALLY sticks to the knife, like I do many times.
Even though I prefer the chef's knife version of this line, the santoku is probably the best one I've ever used. You won't be sorry that you bought this blade. And if you are... it only cost you around $30. Sure, it's no Ken Onion, but then again, it's not over $180 either. For the price, you just can't beat it.

R H Forschner 7-inch Santoku Knife, Granton Edge, Black Fibrox Handle
Great value. Knive was razor sharp out of the box, keeps it's edge and easily takes an edge with a stone. Compares well to other more expensive knives that I own. I now find myself reaching for this one for most task in my kitchen.
Forschner 7" Santoku April 18, 2008

The Forschner is just about the best Santoku in a shorter length that I have tried so far. The Forschner chef's knife was rated the best by America's Test Kitchen so I thought I'd give this one a try. For the low price, it's great. I've tried lots of other knives by other manufacturers and some of the higher-priced, big-name brands I wouldn't give 2 cents for. On one in particular, the spine was so sharp that it sliced open my hand. The only downside to this line of Forschners is the handle. It is not ergonomic and is hard to hold in a "chef's pinch grip".
