Title: An Affordable Workhorse Kitchen Knife
As an avid home cook, a good quality chef's knife is one of the most important tools in my kitchen arsenal. After much research, I decided to give the Victorinox Fibrox 8-inch chef's knife a try based on its excellent reputation and affordable price point - and I'm really glad I did!
Right out of the box, this knife had an impressively razor-sharp edge that could slice through tomatoes with ease. The high-carbon stainless steel blade feels durable and holds its edge well between sharpenings. I've used it daily for over 6 months and it's still going strong.
The 8-inch blade length is a nice versatile size that can handle most kitchen cutting tasks from slicing meat to chopping veggies to breaking down chicken. It has enough heft for tougher foods but is still lightweight and nimble feeling in the hand.
I really like the non-slip Fibrox pro handle. It's textured for a secure grip and resists staining and odors wonderfully. The handle is shaped for a natural rocking motion when chopping and mincing. My hands never feel fatigued even after prepping lots of ingredients.
Speaking of prep, the gently curved blade shape makes for efficient chopping and rocking cuts. It also excels at tough tasks like slicing through hard squash and pumpkins with ease.
Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the high-quality stainless steel blade. Just hand wash with a sponge - no scrubbing needed even on stuck-on foods. The blade can go in the dishwasher in a pinch but hand washing preserves the edge best.
My only tiny gripe is that the blade can be prone to some minor staining over time, but a bit of Bar Keepers Friend easily restores it.
Overall, this Victorinox chef's knife vastly outperforms its affordable price tag. It's a wonderful daily driver workhorse in the kitchen that can take on any cutting task with ease. Highly recommended for home cooks on a budget!
I originally gave this product 4 starts, but 4 years later I’m updating this to 5 stars. I have both the Wusthof classic and the Bob Kramer chef’s knives, but time and time again I reach for this Victorinox one instead. Why? It’s simple, lightweight, and easy to use. I can throw it in the dishwasher after cutting raw meat and not worry about the knife rusting or damaging the handle material. I’m a Microbiologist by profession and I actually bought another one of these so I can use one for raw meat if needed. The Wusthof is heavier and after using it for multiple meal preps my hand would get tired. I use these 2 Victorinox knives for 99% of my everyday cooking needs. If I could do it over again, I would only buy these and save the $$$.

For starters I'm not a professional chef, but I love quality products with a great value and that is why I wanted to review this product.
I bought this last August after watching America's Test Kitchen's knife set video. I bought this as a replacement primary chef's knife to replace a set of 4 stainless steel knives (Wolfgang Puck I believe and not the best knives around) that have gone dull. The knife is great and sharp right out of the box, but it does feel a bit light in comparison the the European full tang knives. It's great and agile, but at the same time it lacks a bit of weight when cutting something big like a watermelon or a butternut squash. I actually loved this knife until I bought a butternut squash to cut. It did the job but wasn't with ease. I did not end up removing my old dull set and just ended up buying a knife sharpener to see if that helps, because that European styled chef's knife had a good weight and length (9" instead of 8") to cut thing like the butternut squash or watermelon. Another downside is that this knife feels thinner than my old set. I'm assuming it's because this blade is made at a 15 degree angle and the old European chef's knife was made at a 20 degree angle. The 15 degree angle offers a sharper knife but it also makes it more prone to dents. I already see little tears along the sharp end of the blade, but I'm sure that is fixable with a good knife sharpener. I wonder if the 10" version of this knife would work better for watermelon and veggies with larger surface areas. Another thing is I was taught to fast tap chop your garlic and ginger to mince it by my Chinese mother. This knife just doesn't have the weight for that in comparison to a full tang chef's knife (I wonder if the Victorinox Santoku would be better for that purpose).
I think this knife is of great value and quality and recommend it to anyone looking for a good chef's knife. I actually would recommend the set of 4 knives from Victorinox Victorinox 4-Piece Knife Set with Fibrox Handles for anyone that has a child going away to college or starting a new home. It is a good starter collection that has the essentials (at least a 10 inch bread knife, an 8 inch chef's knife, and a small pairing knife) to fulfills 99% of home cooking needs. I also read a good review on the 5" mini chef knife from Victorinox. The reviewer purchased the 10" version of this and the 7" Victorinox Santoku along with the 5" mini. That was a good review and I suggest others read that review as well to see if those 3 knives together would work better for your needs.
I know a great chef who once told me that you don't need the best knife for daily cooking but you have to hold the knife in your hand to judge if it's comfortable and to know how to sharpen/maintain a knife.
Top reviews from other countries
The handle is tapered in at the end which moves your fingers into a natural pinch grip, and it's made of a textured plastic material so that if your hands are wet the knife won't slip around. Victorinox also chose to stamp the blade and use a soft steel (55HRC). The downsides are the knife doesn't feel as hefty (not always a bad thing) and that it doesn't keep an edge as long (i.e sharpen/hone more often) but the upside is it's less brittle. If you dropped this knife on it's tip, the tip would just bend and you could bend it back, while with a harder steel the tip would
just break off.
The knife arrived razor sharp, cuts through everything like butter and it makes me enjoy cooking that much more. Eventually though, the knife will dull ,and that doesn't mean it's time to get another one! it's time to sharpen it. I suggest learning how to sharpen with a whetstone (buy the shapton 1k if you do) but if you don't have the time or care, get a nice manual pull through sharpener. Electric sharpeners will also work but it's like $200 for the one's that don't strip away tons of metal. If you get a honing rod (no diamond/grooved. only smooth steel or ceramic) and use it at least once a week you shouldn't have to sharpen the knife more than twice a year!
The only issue I have with this knife is when you're finely chopping, things will stick to the blade.
Overall, fantastic value for what you get. If you're not fussy about looks or a knife nerd (like me), this could be all the knife you need in your lifetime.
If you want this knife but prettier, you can find the Victorinox Modern Swiss Knife online which has a sleeker handle (and a gorgeous walnut handle version).
This very sharp knife is a fantastic exception and I will be looking to buy more of this brand.
Swiss knife is lighter. I am not sure which is good but a lighter knife has its benefits so do the knife made my Japs.
EL cuchillo se ve de buena calidad, con filo, buen peso, el mango se siente ligeramente diferente a otros cuchillos que he comprado de la misma marca, sin embargo viene como Hecho en Suiza y con el empaque original y sellado.
Creo que fue una buena compra, especialmente esta vez que lo encontré en oferta.
