We gave the Forschner 3-piece Fibrox Knives our recommendation as the best $50 knife set around.
But what if you've got a bit more money and are looking for a more extensive set? Does Forschner continue to provide value at the $150 price point?
Indeed they do. This 8-piece set includes the same four-inch paring knife and 8-inch Chef's knife that is in the smaller set.
But this set also includes an 8-inch bread knife, a boning knife, a sharpening steel, kitchen shears and a wood block. The slicing knife is also longer than in the 3-piece set.
All the knives are still fantastic, made of incredibly sharp high-carbon steel. They feature the same non-slip indestructible fibrox handles.
And they still get rave reviews whenever they are stacked up against more expensive competition.
