From the Editors

The R H Forschner by Victorinox Slicing Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.
Product Description

Customer Response

Excellent Product
Was looking for a quality slicing knife that was not too expensive. The Victorinox knife fit the bill perfectly.

World Class!
I was having trouble cutting my ribs and briskets cleanly.
I tried several knives and even an electric knife.
There is no better carving knife that even comes close.
A cooking magazine rated this knife the best as well.

Terrific knife, makes a huge difference
This knife came highly recommended, but I had no idea how good this would be when I bought it. The length is perfect, and it allows me to cut a slice of meat with one stroke. Plus, the thinness of the blade lets me get really thin slices, and the Granton edge reduces friction. This knife may seem expensive, but if you ever serve sliced meat, it's a bargain.

Snick, Snick, Goes the vorpal blade !
When I took this knife out of the box I must confess that I had doubts about my judgment in having ordered such an awesome slab of steel. And, as I added it to my knife rack, I couldn't help wondering if I would ever actually find a use for it.

Now, some months later, I am happy to report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. In fact, I find I use this knife just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. All but one of these is a Forschner/Victorinox, a brand whose price performance ratio is hard to beat.

I cure and smoke my own bacon, and this knife lets me produce slices just as thin as I like, nice and even, and with very little effort. But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches. And if I ever get around to cooking myself one of those big steamship rounds, well, I'm all ready for the slicing ! This knife is great for hams and turkey breasts as well.

My only complaint (and it isn't much of a complaint) was that it could have been just a little sharper when I got it, but since regular sharpening and steeling are just part of the routine of using a knife like this, it wasn't a big deal. Just know that you may not be getting the optimum performance out of this knife if you haven't sharpened it since it arrived.

If you serve much meat, I wholeheartedly recommend you consider this knife. Nothing beats it for the ability to produce beautiful slices with a minimum of effort and skill.

Great carving knife
Searched for this knife on a recommendation from a well know cooking magazine.Amazon was the first place to have it.Received it quickly and I haven't stopped being impressed.It is undoubtedly the best carving I have ever used.Great weight,great length for larger pieces of meat,very sharp.So far extremely happy with it :)
