Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Forschner Fibrox 7-pc. Cutlery Roll Knife Set
Customer Review: Great knife set
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great set of kitchen knives at the price. Forschner Fibrox knives have been top-rated by a lot of different groups, including Cook's Illustrated; I liked them even before I knew that, just because of the "Victorinox" stamp on the blades, just like my childhood Swiss Army Knives.
These knives handle beautifully and cut amazingly well; I've bought five or six of the "paring' knife in this set over the years (my dog likes to chew the handles up, for some reason). When I wanted to upgrade to a full set of kitchen knives and get a honing steel, I got this set, and it was a perfect purchase: the boning knife made dismembering my first whole chicken an almost comically easy process (although the directions in the Joy of Cooking helped too).
The knives are light and somewhat flexible, and they're made with stamped rather than forged steel, but they still function excellently despite that -- they give forged function at stamped price.
Drawbacks:
Some people may find the largest knife in this set, the 10" Chef's knife, a little big and a little lightweight for the size -- a slightly heavier, slightly shorter knife might be a little bit more easy to use.
The set also comes with a portable "knife bag" which is probably useless unless you're part of a traveling chef's road show, but if you're using a magnetic knife strip or buying a non-traditional knife block (like the Kapoosh brand knifeblocks, though the 10" chef knife might not fit into those), and don't want the wooden knife block most other knife sets come with, this set gives a great selection of excellent-quality basic kitchen knives at what I found to be an unbeatable price. A perfect choice for a first knife set if you don't want a wooden knife block for whatever reason.
EDIT: After having used these knives for about a year, I have to say that everything above is still valid, but they do dull a little quickly -- you might want to grab an electric knife sharpener to keep them well-honed. Alternatively, if you want to teach yourself how to hand-sharpen knives, these would probably be a good set to practice on.
Description of Forschner Fibrox 7-pc. Cutlery Roll Knife Set
Victorinox, makers of the original Swiss army knife, has been crafting fine cutlery since the later 1800's. From Victorinox comes a line of fine cutlery and kitchen tools designed for accomplished and aspiring chefs at work or in the home. Each blade from the stamped line of cutlery is expertly made in Switzerland from high-carbon stainless steel and undergoes a special tempering process for an edge that can be resharpened again and again. The result is a knife that can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Each blade is conical ground throughout its length and depth, which results in a wider break point with less risk of the blade breaking and less resistance for easier cutting, and then laser tested to ensure optimum cutting power and durability. Ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension, the unique, patented Fibrox handles are slip resistant when wet. Plus, Stamped cutlery with Fibrox handles is approved by the National Sanitary Foundation (NSF). Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of these handles minimize crevices that may otherwise offer hospitality to bacteria. Enjoy professional quality cutlery in your home at an affordable price with this 7-piece Cutlery Roll set from Victorinox. Set includes: 3-1/4-inch Parer, 5-inch Curved Boning, 8-inch Bread, 10-inch Meat Slicer, 10-inch Chef's, 10-inch Honing Steel, Canvas Knife Roll with Carry Handles and Shoulder Strap. All high-quality cutlery and kitchen tools should be washed by hand for best care, and Victorinox covers each piece with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.Chef's Knives
