Victorinox's long 10-1/4-inch serrated Super Slicer with a round tip lives up to its name by slicing everything from bread to roast meats to tomatoes. Because the blade is stamped rather than forged the price is kept reasonable, yet the high-carbon, stainless steel is extremely durable and the ground, tempered edge maintains its razor-sharpness for a considerable length of time. The molded Fibrox handle provides a sure grip, has no grooves or rivets to harbor bacteria, and is dishwasher-safe. All in all, this is a lightweight and very utilitarian knife.
Started in 1884 in Switzerland, Victorinox is perhaps best known as the manufacturer of the Original Swiss Army Knife. Today Victorinox by R.H. Forschner makes everyday cutlery for the home as well as professional forged cutlery and multi-purpose tools. Included with this knife is a plastic BladeSafe protector that snaps securely in place over the blade, protecting not only the knife blade from nicks when it's stored in a drawer but hands that reach in. Hand-finished in Switzerland, the Super Slicer (model 87547) is covered with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
Product Description
In 1884 Master Cutler Karl Elsner started his cutlery factory in Ibach, Switzerland and in 1897 he crafted the Victorinox Original Swiss Army Knife. Since that time the Elsner family has continued to craft tools of percision, durability and quality. Victorinox is one of the largest producers of cutlery in the world. Victorinox cutlery has been distributed in the United States since 1884 to culinary professionals under the brand name R.H. Forschner. Each blade is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched and finished.
