Victorinox 46149 Review by Brandon Blizard (Alameda CA, USA)
a good durable set for a good value, not too many unnecessary knives. and if you haven had new knives in a while, their sharpness will amaze you at first.
Victorinox 46149 Review by Joe
As a line cook in a pro kitchen, I have to have several different sharp knives at the ready every day. This set was a great foot in the door. The chef's knife and bread knife are worth the price of the whole kit. I would buy this again without question.
Victorinox 46149 Review by T. Simons (Columbia, SC United States)
This is a great set of kitchen knives at the price. Forschner Fibrox knives have been top-rated by a lot of different groups, including Cook's Illustrated; I liked them even before I knew that, just because of the "Victorinox" stamp on the blades, just like my childhood Swiss Army Knives.
These knives handle beautifully and cut amazingly well; I've bought five or six of the "paring' knife in this set over the years (my dog likes to chew the handles up, for some reason). When I wanted to upgrade to a full set of kitchen knives and get a honing steel, I got this set, and it was a perfect purchase: the boning knife made dismembering my first whole chicken an almost comically easy process (although the directions in the Joy of Cooking helped too).
The knives are light and somewhat flexible, and they're made with stamped rather than forged steel, but they still function excellently despite that -- they give forged function at stamped price.
Drawbacks:
Some people may find the largest knife in this set, the 10" Chef's knife, a little big and a little lightweight for the size -- a slightly heavier, slightly shorter knife might be a little bit more easy to use.
The set also comes with a portable "knife bag" which is probably useless unless you're part of a traveling chef's road show, but if you're using a magnetic knife strip or buying a non-traditional knife block (like the Kapoosh brand knifeblocks, though the 10" chef knife might not fit into those), and don't want the wooden knife block most other knife sets come with, this set gives a great selection of excellent-quality basic kitchen knives at what I found to be an unbeatable price. A perfect choice for a first knife set if you don't want a wooden knife block for whatever reason.
EDIT: After having used these knives for about a year, I have to say that everything above is still valid, but they do dull a little quickly -- you might want to grab an electric knife sharpener to keep them well-honed. Alternatively, if you want to teach yourself how to hand-sharpen knives, these would probably be a good set to practice on.
