What's in the Box

The set includes: 2-1/4-inch peeler; 3-1/4-inch serrated sheep's foot paring; 3-1/4-inch straight-edge sheep's foot paring; 3-1/4-inch serrated paring; 3-1/4-inch straight-edge paring; 4-1/4-inch serrated utility/steak knife. 6 items total. 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.

J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 8-inch Stainless-Steel Bread Knife

J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 8-inch Stainless-Steel Bread Knife Review



J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 8-inch Stainless-Steel Bread Knife Feature

  • 8-inch serrated blade for slicing bread
  • Stamped blade made of high-quality German stainless steel
  • Black, satin-finished polypropylene handle with triple-rivet construction
  • Fully visible tang construction provides proper balance
  • Handwash with mild cleanser; lifetime warranty
A crusty loaf yields easily to this knife, whose serrations are big enough to rate--in knife-speak--as "scallops." Henckels' International Fine Edge is an inexpensive cutlery line made in countries other than the company's home of Germany. These knives don't have bolsters and their blades are thinner and less strong. Handles are narrower and shallower than those of the company's premier lines--a feature those with small hands might appreciate. --Fred Brack Satin finish blade
