- Great knife for smaller jobs
This knife is now my "go to" knife for smaller cutting jobs around the kitchen wether it be slicing a tomato, cutting up hot dogs or anything in between. My wife is a little shaky with larger knives but has no problem with this little gem. Of course, for larger tasks, the 8" version R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle can't be beat. Both are very sharp, hold an edge well and, when necessary, re-sharpen easily.

Rating:

- Great knife for the money.
Very light. Shape is a bit different from typical paring/chef's knife, but great for lots of all-around tasks. Good value. Not quite heavy enough to go through a carrot or similarly dense foods w/ease, but you can get used to it.

- Great knife, slightly small...
This is a great knife. It comes extremely sharp, it holds its edge well, and it sharpens very, very easily. It has a comfortable handle and it doesn't suffer from any discoloration during use.

In my opinion, 6" would be the perfect size - 5" is just a bit too small for regular cooking use, even though I generally prefer smaller knives generally (although this little guy makes a great steak knife).

- R H Forschner has the Best "Cheap" Knives
I have Knives from most all of the "Premium" makers From Mac to Wusthof.
Forschner is the best for the buck. The 5 inch chef's is perfect for small cutting jobs. It is a killer all purpose knife.

- Another hit from a fine manufacturer
I have three other Chef knives from this manufacturer and am happy with all. Cook's also has reviewed their larger Chef knife as top notch. I primarily use this particular knife for vegetable prep. I like the balance and the fibrox handle has a great feel. Additionally, the price is a fine value.
