Victorinox/RH Forschner Cutlery

VICTORINOX - Domestic and Professional Chef's Knives and Kitchen Cutlery

Victorionx Swiss Army Brands have been producing high quality chefs knives and kitchen cutlery for over 125 years. Exacting standards combined with superior materials and qualiy craftsmanship produce a long lasting edge with superior performance.

The Forschner brand has represented the Victorionx Chef Knives and Kitchen cultery products in North America since RH Forschner began importing the victorinox butcher knife in 1937.

The Forschner Butcher and Scale Company of New Britain, Connecticut, eventually used Victorinox Swiss Army brands to replace Forschners complete line in 1957. 

Since then , the Forschner Chef Knife has evolved into the most complete line up of quality, professional chef knives on the market today.  Made to withstand the riggers of commercial use, the Forschner/Swiss army brand kitchen knives are perfect for every kitchen. Each knife is constructed from heat treated high carbon stainless steel, and is specially tempered to produce an edge that is razor sharp, easily sharpened but will maintain its edge even after repeated sharpening. The handles are ergonomically comfortable, non-slip fibrox which are ideal for sanitation and safety.

Though most Forschner chef knives are stamped blade in construction rather than forged, the knives tend to receive high marks in consumer comparisons, and have been consistently identified as particularly good values by the American magazine "Cooks Illustrated", performing comparably to higher priced competitors like Henkel and Wusthof.
