Product Description

The R H Forschner by Victorinox Paring Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

Customer Reviews

Razor sharp, keeps its edge and great for everyday use
We have already bought this twice for ourselves (lost the first one) and bought a couple as gifts. This Victorinox is very sharp and holds its edge for a long time. My wife swears by this knife and prefers this to using the 8" chefs knife we also own, I think largely because of how light it is. Its excellent for cutting all vegetables including squishy ones like tomatoes. We also use it for meat but not real heavy duty stuff. When cutting things like big melons, its hard to use (its too small).

As I said before, this knife is a staple in our kitchen, could not recommend this enough as an everyday knife or 'first' knife.

Not As Good As They Were
In the past, these were great knives: inexpensive, comfortable to hold, and long-lasting. However, the handles have been redesigned and are now much less substantial, being shorter, concave, and uncomfortable to grip. They are, however, as sharp as before.
