Product Review: Chicago Cutlery Forum Knife Collection

Kaitlin Coffey
I received the Chicago Cutlery ForumĀ® Knife Collection for Christmas two years ago. These are great knives because they are high carbon stainless steel, they come with a block and a steel, and they have a lifetime warranty. These knives were designed with a curve in the handle which makes holding them very comfortable. They are very strong and sharp.

When I first opened the box and took out the knives and the block, I was very satisfied with the appearance. When I felt the blade I was disappointed that it felt dull. After taking some time to sharpen my knifes I was very satisfied. They have a very comfortable grip and are just the right weight. After I cleaned my knives I tried them out on different foods.

The Chef Knife -
This is my second favorite knife, It is the perfect size and weight and I feel very comfortable cutting with it. This knife is great for cutting up fruits, vegetables, and meats.

The Serrated Slicer -
This is my favorite knife, it makes cutting a breeze. I can use it for simple tasks such as cutting bread but I can also use it to cut baking chocolate and tomatoes.

The Utility Knife -
Honestly, I am not a big fan of this knife although people tell me this is a great knife for tomatoes, I have never found a good use for it because I can accomplish most tasks with my chef knife.

The Paring Knife -
This knife is great for small tasks such as cutting shrimp. I feel very comfortable using it and the blade is not too small.

Tourne Knife -
This knife is very useful to create decorative garnishes and to peel the skin off of soft fruits. It is also excellent for removing blemishes. The only problem I have experienced with this knife is that it is very difficult to sharpen.

After two years of care these knives are still in great shape and are a great addition to any kitchen. If I did not receive these as a gift I probably wouldn't have tried them but I am very satisfied with them. The warranty was actually surprising because the company is not very well known.

    Has anyone ever seen this knife before and can it really be used on a bayonet? It is said that it can fit together with a AK47 rifle. Maybe it is a copy of some old military knife that was used back in one of the wars? The website that it is on is www.lducompany.com I am wondering if it can fit on any other types of guns or rifles. Does it look like something that would be used by Chinese, Koreans, or Russians. Here is a link to the knives page http://www.liangdianup.com/knives_1.htm and it is the knife with the number 406023 right at the top of the page.Any help would be appreciated before I order it all the way from China :)

    I am thinking about buying this folding eagle claw bayonet knife from this website. I would like to know if anyone has heard of this company before or seen this knife before. The knife looks like it is made very well but I would like to find someone who may already have it to tell me more about it. I would also like to know how to find out if this LDU Company is trustworthy. Their website is www.LDUcompany.com , If anyone has bought them before please let me know.
