Dangerously sharp April 30, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Aside from the santoku's incredible popularity right now, this blade offers razor sharp utility at an entry level price. Cook's Illustrated and chefs world wide agree that with Forschner you are getting the most bang for your buck in the industry, and this knife is no exception.
It remains well balanced despite its light weight, which allows me to use this blade for a wide range of applications without any hand fatigue. The edge returns to form time and time again, and stays so sharp that I exercise special care when handling it.
I know there is a time and a place for bringing out more spendy pieces, but more often than not I find myself reaching for a Forschner instead of a much higher priced, heavier blade.
Forschner 7" Santoku April 18, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Forschner is just about the best Santoku in a shorter length that I have tried so far. The Forschner chef's knife was rated the best by America's Test Kitchen so I thought I'd give this one a try. For the low price, it's great. I've tried lots of other knives by other manufacturers and some of the higher-priced, big-name brands I wouldn't give 2 cents for. On one in particular, the spine was so sharp that it sliced open my hand. The only downside to this line of Forschners is the handle. It is not ergonomic and is hard to hold in a "chef's pinch grip".

I received my knife a couple of days ago. I own an expensive set of German knives and was curious about how a santoku knife works. Yet, I didn't want to spend a lot of money to find out! So far, I've used the knife to slice a frozen roll of sausage, peel an orange, chop an onion, slice bread, and chop a tomato. The results were fantastic! The blade is extremely sharp, so be careful. I've knicked my fingers a couple of times, but I'm sure I'll improve as I become more familiar with how to use the knife. My husband enjoys the knife too. Good knife and good value. I only wish I had a way to store it because it won't fit in the knife block I have.
 Inexpensive but a great knife April 7, 2008

This is the 3rd R H Forschner knife with Fibrox Handle that I've purchased. The 3 combined cost less than 1 of my big name knifes. I prefer to use these, the plain handles give a good firm grip and the blades remain sharp longer.
A best buy for Santoku knives March 31, 2008
After taking a knife skills class, I really wanted to acquire a Santoku knife. This brand is often recommended by Cooks Illustrated for other knife styles but I believe this one should also be a best buy. It feels solid and comfortable in my hand, is easy to control (and therefore safer) and slip resistant. I found that the Santoku-style blade is very sharp, makes even, thin slices, and also works well chopping. The Granton edge releases food easily. Admittedly, the black fibrox handle does not make it the most beautiful knife one can buy, but as far as function, it is excellent.
