 Excellent knife for the price, can't beat it! December 2, 2008
I purchased this knife based on all the good reviews and I'm sure glad I did. This knife is my main knife now, it replaced my $200 knife. It has also inspired me to work on my knife skills. Don't be fooled by the price, it really is a great knife at an amazing price!
 So so November 23, 2008
The blade is great, but the handle leaves so much to be desired that I rarely use this knife.
The BEST & SHARPEST knife I've ever used!! November 12, 2008
I absolutely LOVE this knife. I now use chopping therapy as a daily calming activity. I realize that sounds a little crazy, but I'm serious that cutting/chopping is now so easy it's not a chore. It's just the right length and just heavy enough to get the job done, but doesn't fatigue your hand/arm.
Well worth the money @ this knife! You won't be sorry with this purchase.
Forschner 7 Inch Santoku Knife - Agile and Reliable October 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The R H. Forschner by Victorinox 7-Inch Granton Edge Santoku Knife gets almost as much use in my kitchen as the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife. They both have the black Fibrox handle, which is very comfortable in the hand. They also each have a nice balance to the blade for extended use. The Santoku knife is a little shorter, making it slightly more agile for deboning or butchering. But the slightly greater heft of the chef's knife make it a tad better on larger jobs.
The ridges on the side of the Santoku knife relieve pressure when slicing and dicing. The edge seems to be less aggressive than the chef's knife, but the difference is rather subtle. Both are excellent, but the chef's knife just seems to holds its edge for a slightly longer time. Either of these could be your primary knife, and both are a worthy addition to your kitchen. These two particular models are my personal favorites and make up half of the four knives I use most when preparing meals.
Other than those two knives, I mainly only use a filet knife and a paring knife when cooking. The R H. Forschner by Victorinox 3-1/4-Inch Paring Knife is very highly rated, though I use a different older knife that I had before purchasing these other knives.
For those who prepare a smaller amount of fish than I do, the filet knife's role can really be filled by the Santoku knife. When preparing certain fruits and vegetables, I know the Santoku knife needs sharpening when it does not effectively break the skin unless you start from the point. While I sometimes will use my smaller paring knife for prepping such items, this is a good way to know when it's time to sharpen your knives.
The Forschner line-up of knives are impressive, and give you a lot of knife for a reasonable cost. I purchased too many budget knife sets that ended up collecting dust. I have come to rely on my four favorite knives and find that they do 99% of everything I need in the kitchen.
Definitely consider this knife in combination with others, instead of a knife and block set. A few carefully selected knives are better than a set of average knives any day. Though if I were to purchase a block set, you can get a decent compliment of Forschner knives in the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Piece Knife Block Set. I don't own that set yet, but I'm just putting that info here for anybody determined to get a knife block set that plans on buying one or more Forschner knives anyway. Perhaps for those that don't have a sharpening steel or chef's knife, it may be worth the investment.
If I had to choose between the 8 inch chef's knife or the 7 inch Santoku, I would take the chef's knife. But for the person who likes to cook often, you will find that both of these knives get plenty of use in your kitchen.
For those that want to gain the 3 most commonly sought knifes, the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 3-Piece Fibrox Chef's Set is probably ideal for many. For me, I prefer the 8 inch chef's knife to the 10 inch, and I like the Santoku knife over the more slender slicing knife. Either way you go, you really can't go wrong with these.
Enjoy.
Great Santoku Knife! October 13, 2008

I've been using a butcher knife to cut meat. Then I wanted a better knife set. A cooking magazine recommended Forschner and I'm so happy with this Santoku! It cuts everything like butter! This knife has cut down my chopping time in the kitchen in half! (no pun intended). It's also much cheaper than the Henckels knives I was thinking about purchasing too!
