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. | | | Features: | |

Forschner knives rock!Mar 27, 2008
By Paul T. Coynes
I bought this strictly because I was so pleased with the Forschner 8-inch chef's knife I bought a few months ago and was not disappointed. Chopped rock hard bulk chocolate like it was butter, made short work of crusty-outside soft-inside baguettes, and effortlessly sliced tomato wafer thin.
These Forschner knives are the best quality for value PRODUCTS, not just knives, I've ever encountered. Buy some!

THIS IS A FANTASTIC BREAD KNIFE. SLICES RIGHT THROUGH CRUSTY BREADS WITH- OUT TEARING THEM APART. ALSO IS GREAT WITH TOMATOES.

Does its jobFeb 26, 2009
By Lanie
I bought this knife based on reviews. I would have gone with the 10 inch but it was not available through Amazon and I think having to pay the additional S&H ridiculous. That and reviewers had spoken of it being such a big knife! The 8 inch size is great and it cuts bread very well, but I did expect it to be a bit sharper. It is sharp enough, however, for me to wish it was sold with a blade guard!

Fabulous knife at an amazing price!Jan 17, 2010
By Gluten-Free Foodie
I've owned one of these knives for 8+ years and love it so much that I recently purchased another as a gift for my college-age nephew. The serrations on this knife are concave, and as a result, the blade immediately "bites" into whatever you are cutting. (Convex-edged knives have a tendency to slip until they've penetrated the crust or outer surface of the food.) After more than eight years of frequent use, the blade is still in excellent condition. It is every bit as good as a knife costing three or four times the price.
One more note: I have Victorinox knives with both rosewood and Fibrox handles. Although the rosewood handles feel great in the hand and look beautiful, the Fibrox handles do give you a better grip. That's not as critical an issue with a knife used mainly to slice bread, but if you're looking to buy a chef's knife for cutting hard foods like winter squash, I would go with the Fibrox.

Quality break knife cut bagel pretty easilyFeb 23, 2009
By Ravyn
I bought the Victorinox Cutlery 8 Inch Bread Knife to add to a set of Victorinox knives. It's a quality knife which is lightweight -- a plus, I think -- and it cuts through bagels pretty easily: the real test of a bread knife as far as I'm concerned. Only had this a few months but very pleased with it so far. If you're looking for one of those super sharp ginsu type knives -- the kind where with one slip you've amputated your finger or arm (those type of knives terrify me) -- this might not be sharp enough for you as you do have to put a little pressure on the knife to saw through thick bread. But I've also used this knife to slice French bread and other types of breads and found it to work very effectively and easily.
