Victorinox 14-Piece Gourmet Cutlery Set, Rosewood Handles with Attache Case

Product Review

RH Forschner by Victorinox is the knife of choice for professionals and consistently receives high accolades in product testing. This best-in-class commercial grade cutlery is now available for home use. RH Forschner by Victorinox knives feature high carbon, stainless steel blades, 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 superb set for the home or professional chef, this one offers 14 knives and other tools in a handsome black attaché case with latches and carry handle. The seven knives included are a bread, small chef's, large chef's, paring, shaping, boning, and carving. The other tools consist of a chef's fork, spatula, lemon peeler, lemon zester, melon baller, potato peeler, and sharpening steel. The knife blades are made-finished in Switzerland of high-carbon, no-stain steel with tapered, ground edges, and the handles are made of rosewood in traditional, three-rivet styling.

R.H. Forschner by Victorinox has long been a favorite cutlery company in commercial kitchens where sharpness and durability are crucial. Lightweight yet balanced to reduce tiring over extended use, the knives retain their sharp edges and are readily resharpened when necessary. Forschner recommends washing the knives by hand even though they're dishwasher-safe, and covers the set with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
