This is my all-time favorite kitchen knife (the Forschner / Victorinox Steak Utility Knife, 4 3/4 in Straight, Rosewood Handle, pointed Tip Model 40002 ).The blade is strong, yet thin.This thin-ness makes it ideal for many many jobs, as it slices through fruits and vegetables much easier than a knife with a thicker blade.The size of the knife makes it good for paring & peeling, general kitchen use, or as a fine steak knife at the table.The quality of the steel is excellent.It takes a razor edge when sharpening and holds the edge for a good period of time.I have one of these knives that is over 15 years old, it gets used multiple times every day, and it is still in excellent condition.
For sharpening, I use a Chef's Choice 120 (with 3-stage honing/polishing). Then I use a sharpening steel, and after that a ceramic sharpening steel.Then the edge is as good as it was when it came fresh from the factory.I have never needed to use the coarse honing stage of the 120 on my 15-year old blade, just the two finest honing stages. (Note - I don't like the Chef's Choice 130 - it has only two-stage honing, and the built-in sharpening steel does nowhere near as good a job as a hand-held steel.The 3-stage honing of the 120 is much better).
