Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU France 8-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Stamped Chef Knife
Customer Review: Victorinox/Fibrox/Forschner for less
Summary: 5 Stars
Gloria's review convinced me to give this knife a try. I've translated her review to English. She deserves credit.
"When I saw the price for this knife, I did not think that it would be very good; I bought it and I am glad I did because this is the best knife I have now in my kitchen, cut with ease, and I have not had that sharp so far. I recommend it!"
The Victorinox/Fibrox/Forschner chef's knife has reached ridiculous high prices. It is used exclusively by the crew of Cook's Illustrated magazine / America's Test Kitchen. They've given the Fibrox such a rave review, that the company can barely keep up with demand. It now commands a $30 price tag for a 10" chef's knife. That's ludicrous! The knife was credited for being a great value. That is to say, excellent for the price. But when all is said and done, it's still just a stamped steel knife with a molded plastic handle. I bought an excellent carbon steel knife set (Pinzon with Pakka handles) for that price. An entire 8-piece set! There is no way anyone, let alone Chris Kimball et al, would call that a good value anymore.
Enter MIU. This company has been making great kitchen gear for 24 years. Their products span the entire gamut from lowly home cook to professional chef.
Both the Fibrox and this MIU have stamped high carbon stainless steel blades and molded anti-microbial plastic handles. That's not rocket-science. From what I've seen from their other products, MIU has a decent team of designers and engineers. I have faith that this knife will be every bit as good if not better than the Fibrox.
This is pure speculation so far. I've ordered it and I will update my review after I've tried it.
I plan to use this for camp cooking. I don't like to take my nice expensive knives out into the woods where they might rust or I may lose them.
