Editorial Review:
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.

Sharpest knife in the drawer:
I bought this knife to replace a much-loved bread knife whose wooden handle had gotten dried and cracked. Wow! I hadn't realized how dull my old knife was until I used this one the first time. The bandaid on my finger attests to the keenness of the edge: on the very first draw through my morning bagel, it sliced as much as my old knife would have done in 3 draws, and reminded me that there is a correct slicing technique. Great knife! Handle with care.
Excellent bread knife:
I, too, ordered this knife, as well as the paring knife and chef's knife, based on the review in Cook's Illustrated. It's light-weight, but extremely sharp and makes cutting home-made bread a breeze. It's also excellent for cutting tomatoes, much better than a chef's knife. The price is right, too, a real bargain.
Great Knife:
I had recently acquired a taste for buying and eating extremely large loafs of bread from the local Andronicos and was in desparate need for a bread knife. This knife has exceeded my wildest imaginations, bought it based on all the rave reviews lauding the Forschner brand of knives.
I feel it certainly lives up to the hype.
Add me to the rest of the happy people.....:
I won't write a lengthy review here because there are so many good ones that pretty much cover how great this knife really is!! It is an FANTASTIC value and I LOVE THIS KNIFE!! The quality is outstanding, and it is much larger than most serrated knives that I've come across, but takes less work to get the job done.
What a great gift it would make.
