Best Quality
Chef Knives under $60
If you are looking to buy a quality Chef Knife at an affordable price
listen to what the reviewers are saying. In this case they like: Forschner
Victorinox ($35.51) and the Wusthof Gourmet ($79.95 - ok a
bit more than $60, but worth the price).
Cook's Country Magazine Review:
Cook's Country Magazine (sister magazine to Cook's Illustrated) chose
these two budgetary chef knives after a test trial:
1. Forschner Victorinox Fibrox 8"Chef's Knife
|
|
Priced from: $35.51
|
About this knife:
What the test kitchen experts said- "Premium-quality
knife at a bargain price. Knives costing four times as much would
be hard pressed to match in performance."
Blade
- Forshner blades are made of high carbon, stainless steel that
are hand finished by skilled craftsmen in Switzerland. The blades
are sharp and are made using a special tempering process that produces
an edge that can be sharpened repeatedly.
Handle
- This knife uses a NSF approved Fibrox handle. It is slip resistant,
hygienic, and dishwasher safe. The handle is also designed to minimize
tension in the wrist.

About this knife:
The Gourmet knife line consists of Wusthof quality, but offers
consumers the the quality behind the Wusthof name at an affordable
price. Wüsthof Gourmet Cook's Knife is stamped versus hand
forged. This method allows for a lower price point as manufacturing
is done primarily by machine. Made in Germany.
