Product Description

Victorinox, makers of the Original Swiss Army Knife, has been crafting fine cutlery since the later 1800's.

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

This set includes every knife required in a busy kitchen. The 8-inch chef's knife is the centerpiece, while the 6-inch boning knife and 8-inch slicer are great for prepping and carving. The 3-1/2-Inch parer is an excellent trimmer and peeler, and the 9-inch bread knife is perfect for crusty loaves and delicate tomatoes. A pair of kitchen shears and a sharpening steel round out the set, which stores in the included hardwood block. All Forged knives should be washed by hand for best care, and Victorinox covers the collection with a lifetime warranty. --Emily Bedard

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.
