Victorinox / Forschner - Black Fibrox 8 inch Chef's Knife

Unlike the more high-end kinds of knives, this set is stamped and not forged. Usually the forged knives have a superior quality, but not so in the case of the fibrox line. In tests the chef's knife often scores as high as the best and most expensive forged chef's knives. It is also somewhat lighter than the forged knives, which makes them better and easier to handle. Add the much lower price--high end forged chef's knives easily run into the 100 or 150 dollars--and you have an excellent knife that can compete with the best in quality, for a fraction of the cost.
