Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox 40570 Cutlery 6-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

Customer Review: This Knife Actually Irritates Me
Summary: 2 Stars

I have grave reservations regarding writing a review of the Forschner 6" Chef's knife because so many buyers seem to love it. I, on the other hand, cannot stand this knife. I am an old guy and have gone through many stages of knife ownership in my life. They are more or less as follows: cheapest thing that can cut a carrot, inexpensive stainless steel (pretty but difficult to sharpen and keep sharp), inexpensive carbon steel (not pretty but easy to sharpen and keep sharp), basic Henckels, Henckels Professional S series, and finally Wusthof Classics with an overrated Shun thrown in here and there.

I was intrigued, however, when the Forschner 8" Chef's knife kept winning accolades and I bought one just out of curiosity. It's a great knife and anyone in their right mind would recommend it- cheap, sharp, well designed, and easy to use. No beauty queen but a solid kitchen tool that gets the job done. A really good value for the 8" crowd.

But 8" for me is about cutting up big heads of collards or slicing watermelons, not mincing garlic or chopping onions so I thought, "Why not try the 6" Forschner since you like the 8" so much". And here the story goes tragically south. I really don't know how to put this in a neutral Amazon review type of way and realize this is simply my take but I cannot STAND this knife. Yes, it cuts carrots, bones chicken, and it's cheap. It's possibly perfect as an only knife if you're in college or don't want to spend more than $16, but anyone who appreciates the joy and aesthetic of good cutlery is probably not going to be super happy with this choice. I think it's awkward to use and basically a stupid knife that does nothing well. Sorry. My expensive Shun 3.5" vegetable Alton's Angle paring knife is another ridiculous knife.

Before you buy the Forschner 6" Chef's knife, you might want to try the Wusthof 4066/12cm Classic utility knife, the Wusthof Grand Prix II 4040/12cm utility knife, the Wusthof Classic 4582/16cm Cook's knife, or the Wusthof Grand Prix II 4585/16cm Cook's knife. I personally prefer the Wusthof knives over the Henckles because I like a lighter knife.

I know, I know...the Wusthof's are not cheap and, yes, the Forschner 6" would be a better choice to have at a fish camp or the Boy Scout Retreat, but, as a day to day knife I want to partner with in the kitchen, it's just not going to happen. It's the only knife I've ever owned that I gave away...gladly.
