Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little hesitant about buying a knife this expensive. After all, I'm a new cook. I try to research my purchases beforehand so I don't buy the wrong products and this knife is really good. After researching, Victorinox seems to be one of the best brands out there and it definitely is the best value for your money.
It's unfortunate that the knife doesn't have a sleeve. Otherwise, it would have gotten a five star. Then again, it's probably because most of the professional cooks already have a sleeve for the knife whereas I don't, since this is my first knife.
The first time that I used this knife, I can feel the difference between this and the cheap knives bought in Walmart. I've never had to buy knives since I usually share with a roommate and they usually have one. However, I decided to buy one and I would never buy one in walmart again. This knife is really sharp and it's been 3 months and I haven't had to sharpen it yet. Hopefully not soon anyway. This is my only knife so I use it to cut meat and vegetables. The knife glides through meat and vegetables very easily. I also cut frozen meat sometimes, without defrosting it, it still cuts through it.
Customer Review: Great knife for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I received this knife as a Christmas present and so far, I am pleased. What struck me first about this knife is how wonderfully sharp it is. I also own a Wusthoff Santoku (which I love, too) and this knife was just as sharp right out of the box as the Wusthoff was. It is rather comfortable in the hand and the shape of the blade allows for very smooth rocking and chopping action, which is wonderful when you are chopping vegetables. It is also wonderful for carving meats, with its long sharp blade. The grip is slightly larger than I would like, making it a bit more cumbersome to hold than my Wusthoff, but that is not a big issue for me considering the price point of this knife. If price were not an issue and I had to choose between a Wusthoff and a Forschner Fibrox, then I would probably choose a Wusthoff. But being that a Wusthoff of this size would be at least $50 more, then price does come to play. If money is no object, then choose the wonderful German steel of a Wusthoff or look into the Japanese steel of a Shun. But if you are like most of us and have to consider price, then I do believe you will be happy with a Forschner Fibrox Chef's Knife.
