Amazon.com Review:
A mid-range line for the proficient or aspiring home chef, this R.H. Forschner block set consists of a selection of the most commonly used kitchen cutlery. The blades, hand-finished in Switzerland, are constructed of high-carbon, no-stain steel, with a full tang for superior strength and balance. The knives retain their sharp edges and are readily resharpened when necessary. All the utensils feature black fibrox handles, molded in an ergonomic shape that is designed to reduce wrist tension over extended periods of use.
The five knives in this set consist of a 4-inch paring, 6-inch boning, 8-inch chef's, 8-inch bread, and 10-inch slicing. Completing the selection are a 10-inch sharpening steel and pair of kitchen shears. All come with designated slots in the solid hardwood block, angled for quick access. Covered by a lifetime warranty against defects, the cutlery in the set is dishwasher-safe, although washing by hand is recommended. --Ann Bieri

- Perfect knife selection for all your foods
I was very pleased with the quality of both the knives and the knife block.Looks very nice on the kitchen counter, yet does not have so high a profile that it cannot be placed on it's side in a locked cupboard if you have small children.
For the price of the entire collection, the quality is unsurpassed.
I highly recommend this product.

- Unbelievable value
These knives are balanced, comfortable and very sharp.I am extremely impressed with the quality.Cutting is effortless.They feel very solid and sturdy.They are dishwasher safe, although I hand wash mine.There are extra spaces in the block to put some other knives or expand your Victorinox collection.Great knife set!
Rating: - Best Knives
These are the BEST knives and quite possibly the ONLY knives I'll ever use again!
Sharp, they hold a great edge, sharpen easily and will cut paper thin slices from the softest of tomatoes. The bread knives work great on any bread... I can't say enough about these knives other than if you don't have a set yet, get on it!
Rating: - Wedding gift for daughter
I have used this brand for going on 45 years, and when it came time to pick out something for my daughters wedding, I immediately thought of these knives. PS I carried them all the way to New Zealand where my daughter lives. She was thrilled.
Rating: - fabulous knives
You will love these knives.I purchased them on a review from Cooks Illustrated, and I have to admit they are a five star knife all the way around.They feel very comfortable in your hand and unlike some handles, don't get slippery when your hand gets wet.The whole set looks very professional, with a large knife holder and if you didn't notice, the Swiss Army logo is on the front.If you are hesitant, just buy the chef's knife to see what you think.I guarantee you will buy more of the set. ...
