Editorial Review:

The R H Forschner by Victorinox Chef's Knife features an 8-inch blade that is 2-inches wide at the handle.

one of the best I have ever used:

I have ALWAYS loved forschner knives, I worked as a professional chef for better than 25 years, and I have to say I POSITIVELY HATE plastic handled knives,...I ALWAYS bought rosewood. A fellow chef suggested that I give the "black fibrox" handled knives a shot, it might change my mind on the plastic,......well, he was right,...the handle stays "grippy" even with your hands covered in oil, chicken fat, water, flour,...it didn't matter, the handle ALWAYS stayed "grippy",...amazing.
