While our BladeTamer™ sheaths will fit almost any appropriately sized knife, they are specifically designed to accommodate knives by R.H. Forschner(see size chart). In particular, the unique shape of the ergonomically designed handle along with the curved blade and raised tip of the breaking knives, make the patented design of “BladeTamer” a necessity.

R.H. Forschner, a division of Swiss Army Brands Inc., has been in business manufacturing quality cutlery since 1855.

Their blade, a high carbon stainless steel hand finished at Victorinox® in Switzerland, is made using a special tempering process to produce an edge that can be sharpened over and over again.

All of the handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They are available in the traditional classic, Rosewood, or Fibrox®, the patented NSF approved, dishwasher safe, and slip resistant material.

Due to Forschner’s unique manufacturing process, the edge on a Forschner knife can be re-sharpened over and over again. Therefore, the knife will keep its original sharpness throughout its life.

Details/ Stats

Curved blades allow for a better working angle when cutting close to and around the bone. Unsurpassed ease and control during the fillet process.

All R.H. Forschner knives feature a taper ground beveled edge. The knives are thicker on top, while the edge thinner and extremely sharp. They do not use a hollow ground blade.

R.H. Forshner/Victorinox® knives use only first grade A quality steel x 50cr MO composition with a Rockwell hardness of 55-56 HRC for high edge retention.
