 Great knife, slightly small... May 18, 2008

This is a great knife. It comes extremely sharp, it holds its edge well, and it sharpens very, very easily. It has a comfortable handle and it doesn't suffer from any discoloration during use.
In my opinion, 6" would be the perfect size - 5" is just a bit too small for regular cooking use, even though I generally prefer smaller knives generally (although this little guy makes a great steak knife).
R H Forschner has the Best "Cheap" Knives April 22, 2008

I have Knives from most all of the "Premium" makers From Mac to Wusthof.
Forschner is the best for the buck. The 5 inch chef's is perfect for small cutting jobs. It is a killer all purpose knife.
Another hit from a fine manufacturer April 5, 2008

I have three other Chef knives from this manufacturer and am happy with all. Cook's also has reviewed their larger Chef knife as top notch. I primarily use this particular knife for vegetable prep. I like the balance and the fibrox handle has a great feel. Additionally, the price is a fine value.

I bought this smaller blade version of the 8" Forschner Fibrox for our vacation home, thinking I wouldn't need the larger knife. Wrong. Although this knife is adequate for some smaller jobs, the 8" is much more versatile. If one had both knives, one would probably still reach for the 8" most of the time. Get that one instead, as recommended by America's Test Kitchen.
Forschner 5" Mini Chef's Knife January 18, 2008

It's amazing how many knives I have bought and simply do not use. After working in a commercial kitchen for a while, I can tell you that nothing beats the Forschner brand of knife with the Fibrox handle. They are well balanced, easy to clean, and hold a very good edge. This 5" knife is one I use often. In fact, if I'm not using my 10" chef's knife, odds are this one is in my hand. If you are looking to create a great set of knives, this is a great place to start.
