R H. Forschner by Victorinox 6-Inch Chef’s Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

R H. Forschner 6-Inch Victorinox Chef’s Knife

This Victorinox chef knife is handy for mincing shallots, slicing radishes, and also for working on larger foods, especially if the sous chef has small hands and finds a big knife hard to manage.

The high carbon stainless-steel blade provides maximum sharpness and edge retention. The blade is conical ground through its length and depth for a wider break point. Ice tempering sustains sharpness longer.

The blade is stamped from cold-rolled steel. The bolsterless edge permits use of entire blade and makes it a little easier to sharpen. The Patented Fibrox handles are textured, slip resistant, and ergonomically designed for balance and comfort.

Hand washing is recommended. Forschner Victorinix knives have a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. Expertly made in Switzerland.

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.

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.
