The R H Forschner by Victorinox Slicing Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

MONROE, Wash. —
Douglas Tobin first saw shapes in the wood when he was a boy.
His father had built a backyard patio out of cedar. Tobin took out his pocket knife and started whittling, earning a spanking.
Tobin kept sharpening his skills over the decades. Now 56, he's still at it, but in an unusual setting. A 14-year prison term for a million-dollar clam poaching operation landed him in the minimum security unit at the Monroe Correctional Complex.
He has started a program there that has sparked the imagination of prison staff and inmates alike. He is teaching 10 inmates how to carve a totem pole, working within the strict confines of prison while earning 42 cents an hour for a skill that would otherwise earn him thousands of dollars.
"You do a lot of poles," Tobin said. "Some mean more than others. This one will always mean something."
Tobin, a Squaxin Island Indian, pitched the idea for the pole to prison superintendent Scott Frakes about three months ago.
