Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The BEST & SHARPEST knife I've ever used!! Comment: I absolutely LOVE this knife. I now use chopping therapy as a daily calming activity. I realize that sounds a little crazy, but I'm serious that cutting/chopping is now so easy it's not a chore. It's just the right length and just heavy enough to get the job done, but doesn't fatigue your hand/arm. Well worth the money @ this knife! You won't be sorry with this purchase. Customer Rating: Summary: Forschner 7 Inch Santoku Knife - Agile and Reliable Comment: The R H. Forschner by Victorinox 7-Inch Granton Edge Santoku Knife gets almost as much use in my kitchen as the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife. They both have the black Fibrox handle, which is very comfortable in the hand. They also each have a nice balance to the blade for extended use. The Santoku knife is a little shorter, making it slightly more agile for deboning or butchering. But the slightly greater heft of the chef's knife make it a tad better on larger jobs. The ridges on the side of the Santoku knife relieve pressure when slicing and dicing. The edge seems to be less aggressive than the chef's knife, but the difference is rather subtle. Both are excellent, but the chef's knife just seems to holds its edge for a slightly longer time. Either of these could be your primary knife, and both are a worthy addition to your kitchen. These two particular models are my personal favorites and make up half of the four knives I use most when preparing meals. Other than those two knives, I mainly only use a filet knife and a paring knife when cooking. The R H. Forschner by Victorinox 3-1/4-Inch Paring Knife is very highly rated, though I use a different older knife that I had before purchasing these other knives. For those who prepare a smaller amount of fish than I do, the filet knife's role can really be filled by the Santoku knife. When preparing certain fruits and vegetables, I know the Santoku knife needs sharpening when it does not effectively break the skin unless you start from the point. While I sometimes will use my smaller paring knife for prepping such items, this is a good way to know when it's time to sharpen your knives. The Forschner line-up of knives are impressive, and give you a lot of knife for a reasonable cost. I purchased too many budget knife sets that ended up collecting dust. I have come to rely on my four favorite knives and find that they do 99% of everything I need in the kitchen. Definitely consider this knife in combination with others, instead of a knife and block set. A few carefully selected knives are better than a set of average knives any day. Though if I were to purchase a block set, you can get a decent compliment of Forschner knives in the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Piece Knife Block Set. I don't own that set yet, but I'm just putting that info here for anybody determined to get a knife block set that plans on buying one or more Forschner knives anyway. Perhaps for those that don't have a sharpening steel or chef's knife, it may be worth the investment. If I had to choose between the 8 inch chef's knife or the 7 inch Santoku, I would take the chef's knife. But for the person who likes to cook often, you will find that both of these knives get plenty of use in your kitchen. For those that want to gain the 3 most commonly sought knifes, the R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 3-Piece Fibrox Chef's Set is probably ideal for many. For me, I prefer the 8 inch chef's knife to the 10 inch, and I like the Santoku knife over the more slender slicing knife. Either way you go, you really can't go wrong with these. Enjoy. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Santoku Knife! Comment: I've been using a butcher knife to cut meat. Then I wanted a better knife set. A cooking magazine recommended Forschner and I'm so happy with this Santoku! It cuts everything like butter! This knife has cut down my chopping time in the kitchen in half! (no pun intended). It's also much cheaper than the Henckels knives I was thinking about purchasing too! Customer Rating: Summary: a true value on a great kinfe Comment: i have used r.h. forschner knives since 1966.the best kitchen knife value there is.i like this one as much as all of my others. Customer Rating: Summary: Forschner Number 1 Choice of Professionals Comment: I purchased the 8 piece Forschner block set (plus the 7 inch Santoku), and highly recommend this set and the extra 7 inch Santoku which fits in the same block. The deciding factor for me were the comments by professional chefs and butchers on various web sites including this one. The problem with purchasing individual knives is that the cases are very expensive (with shipping and handling the mark up over mfg cost must be 1000%?), but you just cannot have sharp knives loose in a drawer. The block is $30+ if you compare the piece part prices, and if you have small kitchen it uses the least space, further away from kids hands, less fiddly than the knife safes as well. As for what you get in the block set, it has just about the right combination of knives for me, the Santoku knife fits in one empty slot as well (thanks to reviewer who commented on that). There's a steel included as well which is essential. The boning knife is longer than the one in my old set, but I don't do use it that much. There's one spare slot for a smaller knife. These knives are all very sharp, and I'd say the 8 inch chef's knife is the largest I would ever need, better for heavier cutting, but also OK for fine cutting as well. The 7 inch Santoku is lighter and I like using it-I can see why it's popular, better for potatoes/vegetables but can also handle heavy cutting as well. They both are great for fine chopping using a rocking motion, and with plenty of knuckle room. With a 2 cook kitchen having the two knives in the block seems a good plan. The Santoku has slightly different handle shape than the other knives which may be for Asian style chopping (versus rocking), I'll have to experiment. As for using in a dishwasher, one Forschner supplier recommends no, the reason being the plastic cover on the dishwasher rack will be cut and may cause the underlying metal to corrode, not to mention knife edge wear, and change in blade temper (although I am sceptical about this last one) . If you clean them as you go this isn't a problem.
