R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 3-Piece Fibrox Chef's Set, Molded Handles.
I just got mine and love 'em! I've been through a few bargain knives; most recently low-end Henkles; the blades were thin, badly sized, and didn't stay sharp long. I expected a little better but was pleasantly surprised! The look of them is professional but basic, not a showy knife, but they are much better than anything I've seen retail at comparable prices. They're an excellent weight and above par materials. I used all three knives immediately and they performed extremely well. The handles fit the hand comfortably and knuckles never knock the cutting board. The material of the handles is excellent. When cooking, my hands are damp but my grip stayed secure. Vegetables practically slid apart and the slicing knife cut bread with no tearing. I have never found knives at this price point that are this quality. The 10" chef's knife in the three piece set is bigger than might be necessary in many homes, but it's fine for me and a minor complaint. Besides, although substantial, it's not as heavy as a forged knife would be and that's a good thing. I couldn't have gotten the desired pieces individually at this price so I have no complaints except that I wish the line was available locally!
Update: 08/08-Four Months later and few complaints. The blades have dulled a bit, but work well. They remain straight, even and manage most jobs well. I'm looking for a proper sharpener. I did find the knives locally at The Cook's Warehouse and picked up the 8" chef's knife there. Good knife too!
Update 09/15/2010 - The often used chefs knife has not survived. It wasn't possible to keep it sharp and the cutting edge got notched. (Hand washed, kept the blade from other objects and surfaces other than the cutting board etc, etc. Who knows, bones or seeds I guess.) It last served to dig out the epoxy from a sink I had to replace and will land in the garbage. I got two years from it. I'm not a fan of things like this being disposable. It's a waste of money and resources. I'm going to try to find a life long knife next time. Dealing with a dull knife then replacing every couple of years just isn't efficient.
Description of Victorinox 46892 Fibrox 3-Piece Chef's Knife Set
Nothing is worse than going to cut with your cutlery, and having the handle slip around in your hand. To combat this potential for injury, Victorinox has created this Fibrox 3 piece knife set. The Fibrox® handles are textured and provide a firm grip, even when wet, and do not slip or slide around. They are comfortable and fit naturally to the shape of your hand, and provide an attractive and modern styling to the kitchen. The blading is carbon stainless steel, providing a sharp and hard edge for superior precision and accuracy. The set consists of a chef's, slicing, and paring knife, and is all the basic knives you need to make most meals and dinners.Previously known as RF Forschner, Victorinox knives are made in Switzerland by the makers of the original Swiss Army Knife. Stemming from pure necessity, Master Cutler Karl Elsner began producing the Original Swiss Army Knife in 1891 to meet the needs of soldiers on the field. Since then, Victorinox has become a fine cutlery company true to its Swiss roots and professional cutlery precision, quality, functionality and versatility. Victorinox is in the hands of more professionals, from the meatpacking industry to a four-star restaurant, than any other brand of cutlery.
