Summary: Simply amazing
Comment: I purchased these with the need for affordable knives, and I saw the perfect review score for this set on Amazon (18/18 reviews at 5 stars). I figured I couldn't go wrong.
I didn't.
Obviously the most important trait of a knife is how sharp it is. These are simply the sharpest knives I have ever used. I've used cheap ones that cheat and use a serration to achieve sharpness, and I've used pricier Henkels and similar. A sharper knife is actually a safer knife, since your cuts will be precise. A duller knife won't cut where you expect and can cause injuries that way. To give an idea of how sharp these are, I was able to easily slice a bagel without using a saw motion at all. Not impressed? I did the same with a ripe tomato. Yes, slicing a tomato with just pressing down. I'd never been able to do that with the Henkels even after a fresh sharpening. These knives have made so many kitchen tasks so much easier.
What's even better is that for the price of that Henkels chef knife, you get 3 of the most useful knives to have in the kitchen. This price is simply amazing for what you get.
Well, nothing is perfect and unfortunately these knives are no exception. After being used to the Henkels chef knife, this Forschner was startlingly lightweight. I know that over time I will adjust for it, but I would have liked more weight I suppose. I would just suggest that until you're used to the weight, just be extra careful with the chef's knife. All said, this is such a minor setback for how amazing these knives are otherwise.
There is a reason why these knives have so many 5 star ratings. They are simply that good. For the cost, there is no way you will regret buying them. I purchased these on a budget, and down the road when money isn't an issue, I'll be looking first at Forcshner/Victorinox.

Summary: sharpest knives ever
Comment: We've had umteen different sets of knives through the years. None have come close to these! Cuts through an uncooked potato like a hot knife through butter. I don't think anyone would be dissapointed buying these knives!

Summary: Knives a revelation
Comment: My husband likes to cook and complained about our knives for years. So, I bought these for our 20th anniversary. When they arrived, I thought they looked huge and scary and almost sent them back. Good that I didn't . . . he loves them. Even more surprising, I summoned my courage and used them. What a revelation! You don't work to slice anything . . . the blade just gently touches an object and, voila, it's instantly effortlessly cut. These knives just feel so right in your hand and make food prep so easy. Should have listened to my hubby years sooner.
