Buy Low Price From Here Now
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.

 "a little pricey for a block of wood with slots, but..." 2008-11-29
By Living in Budapest (Budapest, Hungary (originally Ann Arbor, MI))
I recently started upgrading my knives to R.H. Forschner by Victorinox. I didn't continue with the block from my old set because the large 8' Chef's knife did not fit properly. I was concerned that someone might inadvertently cut himself/herself. I assumed (correctly) that my new Victorinox knives would fit this particular block would. In fact I just noticed that there is Forschner by Victorinox set that includes this block plus the knives. In the end I am happy with this knife storage block. It is stylish and very functional.

(G4, G3, G9, GS3, GS7 AND G835KB). Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention

 "Splendid Knives!" 2009-08-10
By Victoria Hawker
I recently purchased the Shun Classic 9-Piece Block Set with Bamboo Block and I realized that I have never owned a really good knife before, even though I have had some "name" brands. Slicing, cutting, chopping is effortless, like cutting through butter. The bamboo block is very attractive, however it is about 11" deep and with the projection of the knives up to 4" beyond that, it is a formidable presence on the counter. Overall, very happy to the point of euphoria!

 "The Sharpest Knives Ever" 2007-01-06
By J. Cartwright (Sunriver, OR United States)
I was introduced to the Kershaw Shun Knives in a local kitchen store, but decided to purchase a set at a better price through Amazon. These knives are absolutely top quality and make cutting even very thin slices a joy. Because of my appreciation for the quality, I purchased two more knives as Christmas gifts for my son and daughter in law.

 "Nice Knives" 2009-09-16
By Priscilla (Orlando, FL)
This set is sleek and sturdy and made a perfect wedding gift. Excellent price for such good quality.

 "Great Value" 2009-09-06
By PSach (South)
I decided to get this set from Amazon after I saw them individually at Walmart. I previously had used Wusthof and Henckels knives. Wusthof knives are about the best mid priced knives I've used - well balanced, lightweight and sharp. Henckels (Twin Cuisine) are too large and heavy and although sharp they have a weird feeling when using them in my opinion. These Chicago Cutlery Forum knives are well made, balanced, lightweight, hold their edge and fit my hands perfectly. Futhermore, you get a whole set for the price of one Wusthof or Henckels Chef's Knife. I have no problem with them staining or rusting. I wipe them (with a solution of Tide With Bleach Laundry Detergent believe it or not) and rinse and dry them after each use. I never use the Sharpening Steel because you can actually dull your knives if you don't know exactly what you're doing; I use an inexpensive manual knife sharpener that I purchased at Walmart when I feel the knives starting to lose their edge.



Finally, the wood block is well made and of a good quality wood and a nice light clean color.



This set will look especially good in a kitchen with black and/or stainless motifs.

 "Replaced old Chicago Cutlery set" 2009-01-01
By S. Kelley (Tucson, AZ)
I purchased this set over a year ago to replace my 25 year old Chicago Cutlery set. I tested each knife with the corresponding knife from the old set. I could not tell the difference. I gave my old set to a young couple who were making due with misc. cheap(er) knives. They love them.



I purchased a paring knife in this style from Walmart to try it out before I purchased this set. I did notice staining on the knife but it worked so well I purchased the whole set from Amazon. Curiously, none of the new knives have stained. They all look like new.



I don't cook a lot but use at least one knife a day. I am still well satisfied with these knives.

 "EXTREMELY disappointed" 2007-10-16
By S. Tunney (Lockport, IL)
I've owned a set of Chicago Cutlery for 16 years (a wedding gift). They have served us very well. I decided the set needed replacing, not because the blades are bad, but because the wooden handles have dulled, and a couple have cracked. I purchased this set of Forum knives at Walmart, thinking I got a great deal. I mean, it's Chicago Cutlery. They make (made) great knives. They were sharp and beautiful out of the box. But now, it's only been two weeks, and the large chopping knife got some kind of foggy looking stains on it, and rust marks. One of the steak knives did also. I used soft scrub and even steel wool to try to buff it out, to no avail. Please note: I NEVER wash my knives in the dishwasher, always by hand. Needless to say, I'm returning them today and looking for a replacement brand. Shame on Chicago Cutlery!

 "Set of small paring knives" 2009-01-19
By P. Lawrence (Texas, USA)
Three wonderful small sharp paring knives which are incredibly sharp and great to use for a variety of small cutting tasks. This it the first time I have bought and used Wusthof paring knives, and I thought the ones I had were quite satisfactory until I used the Wusthof knives. I will never go back to using economy knives again - I have been spoiled.

 "Excellent knife set" 2008-11-26
By M. Domingo (maryland)
I bought this knife set mostly because i needed a paring knife. I also wanted the Wusthof brand since all of my other knives are that brand and have proved to be of superb quality.

The price is what attracted me to this set. I figured it would be better to get more knives for this price rather than one paring knife for about the same price. At first, wasn't convinced that I would use the other two knives with the set until I received them. Now i use the other two more than I use the paring knife. I use the curved knife for boning chicken theighs and for cutting the joints when I'm carving a whole chicken. Its the perfect size. The other utility knife I use for small cutting jobs like cutting a small piece of cheese for a snack or cutting the ends off of an apple, peeling an orange, or even cubing other veggies. These knives are very sharp and don't lose their edge easy. They are also very easy to sharpen. I recommend these to anyone!

 "great knives for the price" 2008-11-30
By sb
My mom loves these. It was a gift for her last christmas and she doesn't know what she would do w/out them. Great buy for the price.

 "Not so hot.. You can do better for the same price" 2008-11-01
By Benjamin Holt
I bought these knives when the set was on special for $60 instead of the usual $100. While they look great, the pros of this knife set end about there.



They don't hold their sharpness very long and require constant sharpening to maintain a useable edge. That in itself is a rather minor complaint, but it gets much worse. These knives rust VERY easily. If you leave them in the sink for even a day, rust spots will appear. Normally this isn't a problem since you can just clean it off, but where the rust appears, the metal quickly weakens. In less than 8 months I've had 3 of the steak knives acquire CRACKS in the metal at the base, and one of the cutting knives chipped off a 3mm area of the cutting blade while being sharpened.



The only reason I've given this set 3 stars is because Chicago, after much argument, was willing to send me replacement knives at no cost. Otherwise, this set would be a flat 1.



Long story short, for $100, way not worth it.. you can do far better for the same price with other higher rated sets on Amazon. For $50 this set would be worth it.

 "Rusting!" 2008-04-24
By OS (Silver Spring, MD)
I bought this set from Bed Bath and Beyond. We used several knives, hand washed them and let them dry overnight on a rack in the sink. One knife had a large rusty stain on it in the next morning! My wife and I could not believe it. It would not happen even to one of our dollar store knives! So much for the steel made in China! We were able to return the set and bought Henckels from Amazon and have been satisfied with them. I made sure, the set is made of German steel in Germany.

 "Incredible Knives for the Price" 2007-02-01
By J. Vallager
First off, I've worked in kitchens for about eight years. All high end restaurants, so I understand what makes for high quality cutlery. For work I have a set of Wusthof Triton blades, you won't find many better knives than that. But at home I have this Insignia set because I would never trust my roommate or girlfriend with a $150 Wusthof knife. Having this set has paid off immensely.



I always wash a knife by hand, just common sense. True their stainless steel, but stainless can still rust. Some of these knives have unfortunately been through the dishwasher a couple of times and have come out just fine; I have never had any problem with rust.

The balance of these knives is superb. And the quality of the steel is very good. These knives will keep a sharp edge for weeks, and I use them daily.



People complain that they're not that sharp, but what they don't realize is you can't just run the steel over them to hone them. You have to keep the knife at low angle and maintain that with every stroke. If you know how to hone a knife, these will come very close to a brand new professional blade.



I would easily recommend these knives to anyone looking to spend $100 to $200 for a set. I have seen much cheaper quality sets for more money. This definitely is a great buy for the money.

 "Ok, but not great" 2007-01-05
By V. Lea (Hawkeye Land)
I know others had problems with rust spots - I haven't had ANY issues like that. I think if you hand wash after use you will be fine. They definitely aren't for the dishwasher.



My only complaint is that they arrived dull. Yes, there is a sharpener, I received two in fact, but still, having to sharpen all the knives (not the steak ones obviously) took a bit of the newness out of the situation, and made it work.



Otherwise, they are great, and after a lot of time spent for the initial sharpen I haven't had a problem. They are nicely balanced, and look very nice on my countertop.
