KEY FEATURES
High-quality, lightweight European steel.
Handle design reduces hand and wrist fatigue.
Fit for dicing, mincing, chopping, slicing, and shredding.
Long, sloping curved blade that “rocks” for effortless mincing and chopping.
Flat spine for extra power to slice through hard-skinned items.
Non-slip patented Fibrox Pro handle for a secure and comfortable grip no matter the hand size.
National Sanitary Foundation (NSF) approved and dishwasher safe.
CARE AND USE
Be good to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following these simple guidelines will ensure that you get the longest life out of your knife!
CLEANING
Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately.
While Fibrox Pro knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing as dishwashers are designed to spray water at a relatively high pressure, which can jostle the silverware and cause the knives to collide, dulling the edge.
SHARPENING
For optimum performance, knives should be honed after every couple of uses. Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will keep your knives sharper and performing at their best.
FORMERLY FORSCHNER
In 1937 Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a Connecticut distributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. A well-known manufacturer of butcher scales, Forschner soon became the exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinox knives, and was the name by which Victorinox knives were known.

I have large hands and this fits me very well. You can see from the pictures that the handle has a straight top and contoured bottoms. It might not be apparent that the sides are straight, too. That makes the handle blocky. For me, this makes my grip much more secure than knives that have rounded sides. This shape fits very naturally in my hand, so it is secure and it is not fatiguing to use.
The handle has a rough texture, but it's not raspy. I don't feel like I had to build up calluses just to use it. The texture, plus the shape of the handle, makes it easy to keep a safe grip, even when my hands are wet or greasy.
There's not bolster on this knife. Instead, the handle flares down where it meets the blade (just down, it doesn't get any wider). That flare is big enough that I've never felt that my hand would slip forward and contact the blade.
The knife feels sturdy. If I grab it in both hands, I can flex it about a quarter inch. It weighs about 6 5/8 ounces, which is is enough heft to keep me aware of it, but is light enough for my daily use. I use it for veggies and meat and am very satisfied with it. I haven't tried to butcher a chicken with it.
I find the curve to be workable. I have no problems rocking it for chopping. The blade is tall enough that I don't worry about rapping my knuckles when chopping, either.
I have had no problems with it keeping an edge. I hand wash it and it hasn't developed any stains or rust spots.
Overall, it's a good knife and a great bargain. Probably the best thing about it is that at this price, I can hand it to guests and not cringe in fear when they bang away on the cutting board.
For those who are completely new to the Victorinox (formerly Forschner) brand of knives, it's like this: These knives are NOT super high-end knives intended to impress cutlery snobs. They're workhorses that perform nearly as well as - and, depending on the knife - as well or better than high-end forged instruments costing three times as much. No joke.
Q: Will they look as good as my super expensive Japanese or German knives?
A: No. They will not. They're really simple-looking. Some might even say that they look crappy. Your high-end Japanese or German cutlery will absolutely shame Victorinox Forschner knives in terms of appearance.
Q: Will they perform as well as my super expensive Japanese or German knives?
A: Maybe. If not, it will be a very close race. Think 80%-100% of the performance at 30% of the cost. Additionally, the Victorinox knives - because they're not forged - are very light. (My mom has arthritis and I got her a bunch of Victorinox knives after trying them myself. She LOVES them, and experiences much less fatigue than she did with her previous knives, which were 15 year-old Henckels.)
Q: Will they perform better than my KitchenAid, Cuisinart, or other knives that came in a set costing $30-$100?
A: Those knives will run in terror from Victorinox Forschner knives. You will find yourself using far less muscle when slicing things with Victorinox Forschner knives, if you're used to a crappy $50 box set.
Q: What's the deal with the handle? Fibrox? What's that?
A: Fibrox is Victorinox' name for a specially-textured handle material, which I'm pretty sure is just a proprietary plastic compound. This is going to sound weird, but Fibrox kind of has the texture of a cat's tongue... meaning it's a little rough. The weird thing about Fibrox - and the one reason - aside from durability and cutting performance - that so many line cooks rely on these, is the fact that they do NOT become slippery when the knife or your hands are damp. (Again, my aging mom loves that about these knives. She routinely cuts with wet hands, so she feels that these are safer than her Henckels.)
Q: So... what's the difference between the Victorinox Fibrox knives and the Victorinox Swiss Classic knives?
A: The only difference is the handle; the blades are identical, from what I've seen. (I have Fibrox-handled knives, and we bought my mother-in-law Swiss Classics.) I recommend Fibrox, to be honest. The Swiss Classic handles are good, but they are not quite as grippy-when-wet as the Fibrox knives, so I like the Fibrox ones for the extra margin of safety. That said, you'll find that the Swiss Classic knives are more likely to come as a set, which can save you a little money over buying individually.
Q: What about durability? Some people are saying they don't hold an edge.
A: In my own experience, they hold an edge commendably well. Put it this way: My wife and I cook dinner 4-5 times per week, and on top of that, these knives also get the brunt of our general, daily use (cutting bread, etc.). We mainly spread this workload across just *three* Victorinox Fibrox knives, and we've had these knives for just under a year. During that time, I've had to run them over a honing steel (also a Victorinox item) just twice, and after honing, they are good as new. I'm sure that eventually, they'll need professional sharpening, but it's been almost a year, and I can imagine going another year before they really need professional work... and even then, they might be okay with just a honing steel.
***About THIS Knife***
Okay, so *this* knife is a bit odd. It has a full-sized handle (pretty much the same as the rest of the Fibrox line), but the blade is a chef's knife blade that looks like it got hit with a shrink ray. To be perfectly honest, I find that this knife gets WAY more use than our chef's knife; it seems like for 70% of kitchen tasks, this is *just enough* knife.
Actually, I really like it's middle-of-the-road size, and I HIGHLY recommend it as a first Victorinox knife, for someone who just wants to "see what's so great about" them. In a sense, it's a "gateway" knife. You can get a feel for the brand, their handles, and their blades, and then make your future buying decisions with your experience in mind... and if you hate it... then it's not like you're out a ton of money.
Top reviews from other countries
I have an 8" Fibrox chef knife, a 6", and now a 5", all with Fibrox handles. One of the things that I like about these is that the handle is angled "up" a bit, to provide more clearance for the hand knuckles.
Victorinox makes good knives.
The everyday for all purposes knife every chef should have.
