I'm considering getting this knife because it got high ratings on the Cooks Illustrated website. Does anyone have this knife, and if so how do you like it?

It's a beauty! Money we'll spent! I own a few victorinox knives and they are great. This chef knife has a large blade which is great because fingers are more easily protected: the knuckles keep it away from the finger tips and the blade is easily kept vertical.
Bravo! Great choice
It's a good knife for the price. Edge retention isn't amazing but for a home cook it should be just fine.

Personally, I don't like a chef's knife and haven't used one for years. My Amazon.com: Victorinox Forged 7-Inch Granton Edge Santoku Knife: Kitchen & Dining
does everything a chef's knife can do, only better.
+1, Kayelle. I use mine most of the time, too. It fits my hand better and is easier for me to control.
I suggest you go to a good kitchen store and handle the various knives. It's the only way to know what's best for you.
I don't know if this is a sub-brand name or a series, but I have several Forschner knives I use for fish cleaning/processing. They are made by Victorinox. Except for the boning knives, the blades are curved like a scimitar.
