The R H Forschner by Victorinox Boning Knife with semi-stiff blade features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

Chef's Choice 120 Diamond Hone 3-Stage Professional Knife Sharpener, White

Chef's Choice 120 Diamond Hone 3-Stage Professional Knife Sharpener, White Review



Chef's Choice 120 Diamond Hone 3-Stage Professional Knife Sharpener, White Feature

  • Three-stage precision sharpening
  • Works for gourmet chef's knives, butcher knives, sporting knives, serrated knives
  • 100 percent diamond abrasive will never detemper
  • Unique Trizor-Plus edge provides greater sharpness and durability
  • Three-year household warranty
It may seem like a contradiction, but sharp knives are the safest. With a clean edge, a knife is more predictable and easier to control. If you've purchased a top-of-the-line knife, maintaining the quality of the blade ensures maximum value from your investment. This Chef's Choice knife sharpener performs professional-quality sharpening on any knife, from gourmet knives to hunting knives--even serrated knives can be sharpened with this machine. For top-quality edges, there are two sharpening and honing stages, which use 100 percent diamond abrasives, and a final polishing stage. Each stage uses precision angle guides to create a unique Trizor-Plus edge for maximum sharpness and durability, while a magnetic pad collects residue so the machine is easy to clean and maintain. While a sharp knife is indeed a safe knife, it's wise to use caution with your newly sharpened knives, as they'll be sharper than you expect. --Laura Cuthbert
