Product Description
The bread knife is handy for slicing bread, of course, but also for slicing through croissants, cakes, and soft-fleshed tough-skinned fruits and vegetables such as citrus and tomatoes. R. H. Forschner is a division of Swiss Army Brands, Inc, renowned for the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. These knives are specially ground and tempered so that they can be resharpened over and over again, keeping a sharp edge throughout their lifetime. State of the art technology blended with old world craftsmanship produce cutting instruments of excellent quality, at reasonable prices. Forschner Victorinox Fibrox knives have earned high marks in a well-known cooking magazine which stringently tests kitchen products.

Great knife January 6, 2009
This is my favorite knife to use and the price was unbeatable. It arrived quickly and packaged nicely.
Great Bread knife December 30, 2008
Purchased on the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen and again have not been disappointed. It slices through bread clean and easy.
A Bread Scalpel December 26, 2008
Sometimes you don't know how good something is until you try something else. At Christmas time I make a bread-like "cake" that has candied fruit and nuts in it and is frosted all over. It's not an easy thing to cut cleanly without the sharpest of knives. This was proven again today when I needed to bring only half of one of my cakes to my friend's house.
At home, I was able to use my Forschner bread knife to cut the cake in half, and what a fantastic job it did - a nice clean cut that showed off the texture of the cake beautifully. When I got to my friend's house and had to cut it into slices, what a disaster. Even with the very best knife she had, the best I could do was hack off a few slices. The difference between the Forschner and her knife was like the difference between a scalpel and a chainsaw.
I've been very pleased with all the Forschner knives that I own, and would highly recommend them to anyone. I'm not a professional cook and do not use my knives for hours on end, but for a home cook, the quality of the edge and the ease of maintaining the edge, as well as the wonderful fit of the handle to my particular hand, makes these knives the best value available.
Thank goodness for Cooks Illustrated. . . December 19, 2008
because they do all the hard work, and I reap the rewards of their efforts! I got rid of two inferior bread knives (one of which came with my bread machine) to make room for this knife. I have the smaller 8" version on my wish list and hope Santa sees it before Christmas! P. S. Although he doesn't mention it by name, I think this is the knife Alton Brown uses in his Super Apple Pie episode.
Now this is a Knife December 18, 2008
They send it in a box large enough for a small car and the knife looks imposing, but boy does it slice. I carved an entire loaf of Challah bread in 1" increments for French toast. Each slice was a perfectly straight cut (like a bread slicing machine). So put away those spindly flexible, too short knives and use what the pros use. Now, why that box was so big ... perhaps you could cut it up with your new knife.
