Famous for its line of Swiss Army knives, Victorinox is also renowned for its fine kitchen cutlery. The Forged line is a great example of beautiful functionality blended with impeccable craftsmanship. The name of the line refers to the construction of the knives' blades, which are hot-drop forged and ice-tempered for exceptional strength and integrity. Made in Germany from high-carbon, stain-proof steel, the knives are finished in Switzerland with a twice-sharpened, laser-tested edge. They feature a single-piece full-tang construction for stability and balance, and their comfortable handles are triple-riveted for durability. An extensive range with open-stock pieces as well as sets, the Victorinox Forged collection is a lifetime investment, suited to accomplished and aspiring home cooks.

An indispensable duo, this Forged set includes a pair of knives for jobs both heavy-duty and precise. The 8-inch chef's knife has a classic shape and size perfect for chopping, mincing, and dicing. On small-scale jobs, the 3-1/2-Inch parer makes quick work of peeling, trimming, and garnishing. A great gift or place to start a Forged collection, the knives should be washed by hand for best care and carry Victorinox's lifetime warranty. Coordinating serrated, steak, and santoku knives are also available. --Emily Bedard
