Victorinox Cutlery 7-Piece Cutlery Block Set, Rosewood Handles

Product Description

RH Forschner by Victorinox is the knife of choice for professionals and consistently receives high accolades in product testing. This best-in-class commercial grade cutlery is now available for home use. RH Forschner by Victorinox knives feature high carbon, stainless steel blades, 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.

Enjoy professional quality cutlery in your home at an affordable price with this 7-piece block set from RH Forschner by Victorinox. This set includes an 8-inch chef, 8-inch bread, 6-inch boning, 3-1/4-inch paring, and 10-inch slicing knives as well as and a 10-inch sharpening steel. The knives have gorgeous rosewood handles and are stored in a solid slant oak wood block. Made in Switzerland, the commercial quality blades are made from stainless steel with a high carbon content. All blades are conically ground on the full length of the blade as well as ground crosswise, which results in a wider break point with less risk of blade fracturing and less resistance for ease of cutting. 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.

The rosewood handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension, and they feature a finger guard for a better grip. Hand washing is recommended, as the heat and the agitation of a dishwasher is not good for the edge of the blades and detergents can cause spots. The handles will also discolor with constant use of the dishwasher. The knives are backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturers defects.

Customer Reviews

Great Knife Set!
These are very high quality and sharp knives. I was planning to buy the Henkels Four Star II, but didn't like the weight of the handles in my hands. After doing much research, I decided order and try the Victorinox knives since they had ergonomic handles, and they felt perfect in my hands. These knives should be sold in more local stores!

Amazon.com Review
Six of these handsome steak knives from R.H. Forschner by Victorinox come tucked in this press-fit storage box. Each shows a rosewood handle in traditional triple-rivet styling, and a five-inch, serrated blade stamped out of high-carbon, no-stain steel that is hand-finished in Switzerland. Unlike many stamped knives, these have a full tang for superior strength and balance, and the sharp edge slices through a fine steak without tearing. Forschner recommends washing the knives by hand even though they're dishwasher-safe, and covers the set with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

Great knives at a great value
I was using a Wustof Classic chef's knife to do everything in the kitchen, and wanted a set of "beater" knives that would provide some other functions, and also so I wouldn't yell at guests for mistreating the Wustof. I chose the Victorinox set over lower priced sets such as Chicago cutlery because nearly every knife in this set was rated #1 (over much fancier knives) by Cook's Illustrated. In fact, when Cook's Illustrated rated knife sets, I guess victorinox didn't have one available, and their recommendation was to buy a block and populate it with Victorinox models.
In a head to head comparison with the Wustof, the Victorinox chef's knife was a few ounces lighter, and the balance was more blade heavy. The Victorinox out of the box was as sharp as the Wustof, which is about halfway between professional sharpenings. that is to say, the victorinox is impressive right out of the box. The slightly different balance takes a little getting used to if you've been using big german steel all your life, but it's not bad. The victorinox has a great handle design and is better for two handed mincing.
The selection of the knives in this set is perfect. there are no useless knives to pad the number in the set, this has everything you'd need except a cleaver. It also offers a 10" slicer instead of the 8" slicer offered by chicago and other, cheaper sets, and has very good quality shears.
It's hard for me to think of these as beater knives now, until I remember the price. If I accidentally burn my place down and have to get new knives, I would probably just buy this set and not replace the Wustof, then maybe add in a cleaver and the 5" mini chef's knife from Victorinox.
These knives are an incredible value.

Excellent Value
These knives feel very good in your hands. The Fibrox has a texture that helps you maintain a firm grip even if your hands are damp. The Chef's knife cuts through vegetables like they aren't even there. Knowing that I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for this set makes me even happier.

Amazon is my favourite supplier
i love a sharp knife and when i travel to Europe i always bring back at least one knife
seeing this offer at amazon i ordered the set and i am over the moon as the quality of the product is the best i have seen

Swiss Army Perfection
The makers of Swiss Army Knives know their cutlery. Here is a magnificent kitchen cutlery set containing all the basics of fine knives needed in home kitchens. You cannot go wrong here. No knife stays sharp forever, it is the ability of a knife to resharpen quickly and easily that distinguishes it from cheaper knives. Victorinox uses German Solingen blades and then finishes and perfects each knife in their Swiss factory. These knives perform as well as a fine Swiss watch. No good home chef should be without them.

Customer Reviews

Superb knives for the price (especially when they're on sale)
We put these knives on our wedding registry after reading Cooks Illustrated's kitchen knife review. They most highly recommended these and a set of high-end Wustoff knives. We chose these because they're a much better value (when these go on sale, you can pick up the whole Victorinox set for about the same price as one good Wustoff knife).

We've been very happy with our choice (and our friends who bought them for us--gotta love registries!). The blades are very sharp, the knives are very well-balanced and comfortable in the hand, and everything is very easy to clean. We've had our set for a few months now and the blades are still as sharp as the day we got 'em. And the physical design of the knives is very functional.

They aren't quite as sharp as the heavier forged metal blades of some higher end knives like the fancier Wustoffs. These are stamped from a sheet of metal rather than being individually forged. But they're still very good, and are a much better value than their forged competitors.

One note: We were a bit confused about the difference between the Forschner and Victorinox versions of this knife set. But it turns out that they're the exact same knives, just distributed under two different labels. Forschner is the brand name they've used for years to sell to professional chefs. They only recently started selling under the Victorinox name in an attempt to reach home gourmets, under the theory that people already associate the Victorinox name with quality. But we have the Victorinox version, and they're exactly the same as my friend's Forschners. So you can buy either (whichever is cheaper).

Surprisingly wonderful knives
I, too, put these knives on our wedding registry after Cooks Illustrated liked them so much. The handles are light-weight and easy to grip; but the knife blade itself is sturdy, strong and really, really sharp. I never knew how easy chopping, slicing and dicing could be. Buy these knives - you won't be disappointed.

Great knives for an even better price
These knives are more than a bargain. These are high quality knives, durable and sharp. I am very pleased with their performance thus far. The block even comes with 2 empty slots which was perfect for me because it gives me a place to store specialty knives that I have purchased separately.
