4 out of 5 stars Great knife for the money.   October 2, 2008
PAW (Atlanta, Georgia)
Very light. Shape is a bit different from typical paring/chef's knife, but great for lots of all-around tasks. Good value. Not quite heavy enough to go through a carrot or similarly dense foods w/ease, but you can get used to it.


5 out of 5 stars Great knife, slightly small...   May 18, 2008

This is a great knife. It comes extremely sharp, it holds its edge well, and it sharpens very, very easily. It has a comfortable handle and it doesn't suffer from any discoloration during use.

In my opinion, 6" would be the perfect size - 5" is just a bit too small for regular cooking use, even though I generally prefer smaller knives generally (although this little guy makes a great steak knife).



5 out of 5 stars R H Forschner has the Best "Cheap" Knives   April 22, 2008

I have Knives from most all of the "Premium" makers From Mac to Wusthof.
Forschner is the best for the buck. The 5 inch chef's is perfect for small cutting jobs. It is a killer all purpose knife.



5 out of 5 stars Another hit from a fine manufacturer   April 5, 2008

I have three other Chef knives from this manufacturer and am happy with all. Cook's also has reviewed their larger Chef knife as top notch. I primarily use this particular knife for vegetable prep. I like the balance and the fibrox handle has a great feel. Additionally, the price is a fine value.


3 out of 5 stars A bit too short for all purpose   March 3, 2008

I bought this smaller blade version of the 8" Forschner Fibrox for our vacation home, thinking I wouldn't need the larger knife. Wrong. Although this knife is adequate for some smaller jobs, the 8" is much more versatile. If one had both knives, one would probably still reach for the 8" most of the time. Get that one instead, as recommended by America's Test Kitchen.
