Product Description
Victorinox, makers of the original Swiss army knife, has been crafting fine cutlery since the later 1800's. From Victorinox comes a line of fine cutlery and kitchen tools designed for accomplished and aspiring chefs at work or in the home. Each blade from the stamped line of cutlery is expertly made in Switzerland from high-carbon stainless steel and undergoes a special tempering process for an edge that can be resharpened again and again. The result is a knife that can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Each blade is conical ground throughout its length and depth, which results in a wider break point with less risk of the blade breaking and less resistance for easier cutting, and then laser tested to ensure optimum cutting power and durability. Ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension, the unique, patented Fibrox handles are slip resistant when wet. Plus, Stamped cutlery with Fibrox handles is approved by the National Sanitary Foundation (NSF). Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of these handles minimize crevices that may otherwise offer hospitality to bacteria. Enjoy professional quality cutlery in your home at an affordable price with this 7-piece Cutlery Roll set from Victorinox. Set includes: 3-1/4-inch Parer, 5-inch Curved Boning, 8-inch Bread, 10-inch Meat Slicer, 10-inch Chef's, 10-inch Honing Steel, Canvas Knife Roll with Carry Handles and Shoulder Strap. All high-quality cutlery and kitchen tools should be washed by hand for best care, and Victorinox covers each piece with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.Forschner Fibrox 7-pc. Cutlery Roll Knife Set Review
I bought this for culinary school last September so I've had lots of time to really evaluate the set.chef knife - I'm a 6' 200lb guy with big hands and I find this knife unwieldy. 10" is just too big for my taste and I think many people would find it clunky. 8" would have been a much better size for the majority of buyers. The quality of the knife is fine, the edge comes sharp, has decent curvature for chopping and steels well and is easy to resharpen on a stone.
paring knife - too long for a paring knife. It extends an inch further than you want for most paring operations (peeling, turning). It's nearly big enough to be called a utility knife. Luckily I also bought the 3 piece Victorinox paring set, which has a shorter paring knife. The knife quality is fine again but why did they choose this length?
boning knife - this would be classed as "stiff", which is great for stuff like beef, veal and lamb. For chicken it's ok. For fish it's fairly useless. You need flex to fillet and it's not long enough. Get a longer, full flex knife if you need to do fish. It sharpens well, holds an edge somewhat well. I'm not amazed by this knife for butchery work.
bread knife - great edge for bread. This one would actually benefit from being 2" longer, whereas the chef/paring above are too long. A little more curvature would have been useful too. A pretty good knife for slicing bread, trimming sandwich crusts, etc.
carving - pretty decent and reasonably good length. Longer would be better but it's acceptable. Good edge and good geometry for it's intended use.
steel - works fine with these knives, a bit short especially for the carving knife. Watch it with the longer knives.
the roll - it's light, the pockets for the knives are just ok. Paring knives fall out while some other knives are too hard to slip in. It has a few pockets inside for spoons, peeler, etc. You can't expect much for a roll that basically comes free with the knives.
So overall, chef and paring are overly long whereas the bread isn't long enough. The carver is acceptable, the boning knife is maybe too stiff for broad use. A semi-stiff would be a good compromise since most people don't need a full stiff boning for beef but do need some flex for chicken and fish.
The knife quality is excellent for the money, some of the knife selection is questionable. If you are comfortable choosing each knife I would suggest that instead.
