Designed to be used in a smooth rocking motion, this large 10-inch chef's knife from Victorinox is ideal for a wide range of chopping, dicing, and mincing tasks. The blade measures 2-1/8 inches in width near the handle, which facilitates scooping up chopped items to place in a pan or bowl. Stamped rather than forged to keep the price reasonable, the high-carbon, stainless-steel blade is ground to a razor-sharp edge that can be re-sharpened repeatedly. The molded Fibrox handle provides a sure grip, has no grooves or rivets to harbor bacteria, and is dishwasher-safe. All in all, this is a lightweight and very utilitarian knife. Started in 1884 in Switzerland, Victorinox is perhaps best known as the manufacturer of the Original Swiss Army Knife. Today Victorinox by R.H. Forschner makes everyday cutlery for the home as well as professional forged cutlery and multi-purpose tools. Hand-finished in Switzerland, the chef's knife (model 88521) is covered with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
