Product description

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, but remember that a honing steel will not sharpen a dull knife. Honing steels are maintenance tools and are used to help keep an already sharp blade from degrading. During use, a knife edge becomes rolled or turned from direct contact with cutting boards, bones or other hard objects. In this case, honing is necessary to straighten the edge of the knife. After significant use, the steel particles become damaged and the edge cannot be brought back by honing, so sharpening is necessary. If your knives are dull, pitted, or you see visible nicks on the cutting edge, you'll need to sharpen with a Swiss sharp handheld sharpener (49002) or bring to a professional for re-sharpening.

User questions & answers

Question:	The "about this item" section says "ergonomic fibrox handles are slip resistant." does this really have a fibrox handle or just hard plastic
Answer:	Fibrox is a material made from an elastic polymer with rubber-like quality and a non-elastic polymer with plastic quality. Fibrox is also the name of a line of knives made by Victorinox. The Victorinox Swiss Army line of knives also have the Fibrox handle.
Question:	Is the single serrated knife a full 4 1/2 inches or is it actually 4 1/4 inch? I need the 4 1/2 which is better
Answer:	The blade is 4" long from the base of the blade to the tip. The entire knife is 8 1/2" long.
Question:	Does this knife have a serrated blade
Answer:	Yes, the blade is serrated for the Pink knife #6.7836.L115. It is also serrated for the other colors: Yellow 6.7836.L118, Orange 6.7836.L119, and Green 6.7836.L114

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this knife be washed in a dishwasher
Answer:	Yes, the knife is "dishwasher safe", though I recommend hand-washing to increase longevity of the blade and hilt and decrease the need for honing/sharpening, as I do with all my "working knives."
Question:	So is there a guarantee? Mine just snapped at the handle cutting broccoli
Answer:	Contact the seller or contact Amazon. The questions here are generally about the product itself, not the policies of Amazon or individual sellers. It is strange it would break if not being torqued at an odd angle or something while cutting something tough. I have seen some nasty, tough broccoli stems before! Been using these knifes all day every day as a grocery store produce guy (utility and parring) for well over a decade with no issues. I'll misplace one once in while... long before any sign of failure. Cheap enough I really don't mind having to get a new one every year or so. The plastic is not heavy duty but should hold up to normal use. A drop or usps" tlc" when it shipped may have resulted in micro-cracks that resulted in breakage I guess. One note is that I do not subject mine to the dishwasher very often, especially the dry cycle which can make hard plastic brittle over time. Good luck in getting a replacement.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this knife full tang
Answer:	Simple science, the knife is steel. I used a magnet to try and determine the dimensions of the tang. I speculate that the tang is a trapezoid shape. On the spine side of the blade, the tang goes back the furthest, about 1 inch. On the cutting edge side, it is shorter goes back about 5/8 of an inch. I didn't try to be precise, so let's say ± 1/8 inch.
Question:	Does it come with a sheath
Answer:	No, it does not come with a sheath. It is a very sharp, excellent paring knife.
Question:	The description says this knife comes with a fibrox handle, but the picture doesn't seem to show this. What kind of handle does it have
Answer:	The handles on these small Victorinox paring knives are either Polypropylene or Polyethylene. But don't sweat it, they are very durable and dishwasher safe. I have one of these with a white handle and it has lasted for at least 15 years, with weekly touchups on a diamond honing rod, and there is no visible wear at all. Victorinox cooking knives last a lifetime, and stay sharp longer than any other chef knives I've ever tried.
Question:	Can you sharpen this knife
Answer:	Yes, I easily sharpen mine at home with a diamond sharpener. Using 4 different grits ---200, 300, 400, 600, I can quickly & easily get it razor sharp. So sharp it will cut just by touching it. I use a steel for touch ups in between. I've used it daily for the past 9 years and it still looks and performs perfectly. Since it is so small and I use it all the time I hand wash it. Just need to be careful not to cut up the sponge/dishcloth. It holds it edge well but like I mentioned it is a daily workhorse in my kitchen so in order to keep it super sharp I give it a quick touch up sharpening weekly. If you don't care if your knives are razor sharp or don't use it daily, sharpening once every month or 2 would probably be adequate.

• Victorinox Swiss Classic Steak Knife Set, 4-1/2-Inch Serrated Blades with Round Tip (2 Pack)

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the end to end length of the knife
Answer:	These are the exact same knives. The 47513 is the newer model. The only difference is on the 40513 it has two sets of numbers 40513 and below that 5.6413.15 and on model 47513 it has just the numbers 5.6413.15
Question:	Are these dishwasher safe or will they rust
Answer:	A flex knife might be good for trimming bone and fat. This semi-stiff knife has proven to be good for slicing and carving as well as trimming and boning for me. So, it fits both of my needs. I have been very pleased with this knife since I bought it. I use it almost daily and have not had to scrapen the blade yet.

Product description

A TRUSTED FAVORITE

Preferred by both home chefs and culinary professionals, the 6" Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife can handle nearly every kitchen task imaginable.

KEY FEATURES

• High-quality, lightweight European steel.
• Handle design reduces hand and wrist fatigue.

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.

• FOR HOME CHEFS & PROFESSIONALS. This Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife has been the top choice of both home chefs and professionals alike. Expertly crafted with a tapered stainless steel edge that cuts with ease and efficiency.
• FIT FOR ALL TASKS. Designed to handle both small and large kitchen tasks with durability. This knife's razor sharp and laser-tested blade can make precise cuts yet is wide enough to handle larger tasks, such as skinning a pineapple.

• KNIFE DIMENSIONS. Blade made out of stainless steel material -- 6 inches in length. Made with dishwasher safe materials for an easy clean.
• TRUSTED SWISS QUALITY. Expertly crafted in Switzerland in 1884, Victorinox provides a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship. Making a lifetime commitment has never been so easy.

User questions & answers

Question:	What's the tang situation with the Victorinox? I'd like to know if the metal goes all the way to the base of the handle
Answer:	No, about 3/4's of the way. With this handle type, full tang is not important.
Question:	what angle is the blade for sharpening? 15 degrees or 20 degrees
Answer:	From what I could roughly measure (caliper and trigonometry), the original edge relief ("back bevel") is around 14 degrees in mine, and the blade is quite thin already at the start of the relief (0.44mm), so it is easy to go without a bevel+back bevel and sharpen at 15. You can however work with a microbevel at 20, quickly retouching between resharpenings.
Question:	Does this knife have enough knuckle clearance so you can dice on a cutting board as you would with a normal 8" chef knife
Answer:	I think that you would have to have very small hands to be able to have a full grip on the handle to have "knuckle clearance" when mincing. I have to grip the handle without my fingers going all the way around to mince using the rocking method. The blade width is much narrower than another 6 inch chef knife that I have that allows a full grip with knuckle clearance for mincing. That said, I think that you can mince just fine with this knife, but you will have to grip it a little differently.
Question:	The 10-inche, it is just the blade, o with the handle?? what is 10 inches measured front to
Answer:	It's actually an 8 inch blade. They are advertising a 10 inch blade, but it's a bait and switch--you are getting the smaller (cheaper product). Like paying for an Acura and getting a Honda. I provided picture of the conflicting marking on the packaging (one saying 10 inch and a barcode for the 8 inch) and I submitted a picture of ruler measuring the blade, so buyers can see. It's a good knife, but buy it from a different seller who will send you what you are paying for.

Product description

A great all-rounder. The 8" Swiss Classic Chef’s Knife with Granton Blade can handle nearly every kitchen task imaginable, with its incredibly sharp edge and textured, ergonomic handle, each cut is like slicing through butter.



We’ve selected the best attributes derived from our rich commercial heritage and modified them to suit the home chef. The Victorinox Swiss Army Swiss Classic collection offers a contemporary handle, inspired by our patented Fibrox Pro line. Designed to minimize wrist tension while providing a secure grip, the contoured nylon handle is both lightweight and durable, making these knives seem less likes tools and more like an extension of your hand.



The Granton blade, also referred to as a hollow edge or fluted edge, features hollowed-out grooves or dimples on both sides on the blade. Depending on what is being cut, these grooves will fill with juices or create pockets of air, which prevents food from sticking to the blade and creates less friction to allow for easier motion when chopping or slicing. Even with the grooves, these are still straight-edge knives and can be honed with a sharpening steel, so they can remain razor sharp at all times. The tapered knife edge is ground in two directions to hold a sharp edge longer, and can easily be brought back to its original sharpness.



An all-purpose chef's knife is an essential tool in every kitchen. The 8" Swiss Classic Chef’s Knife with Granton Blade takes it one step further, offering additional functionality. Optimally weighted with high-quality, lightweight European steel that reduces hand and wrist fatigue, this knife is comfortable even after extended use in the home kitchen. Perfectly suited for chopping or dicing onions, beets, or potatoes, mincing shallots, crushing garlic on the side of the blade, and slicing meats of all varieties, especially ham, smoked salmon, roasts and poultry. Its versatility will quickly make it your go-to knife.



At 8 inches, this knife offers the heft needed to complete larger tasks effortlessly, while still allowing for perfect maneuverability on smaller tasks that a larger, bulkier knife may not be able to accomplish as easily. The overall shape of the blade, with a long, sloping curve, lends itself to “rocking” very well, allowing one to mince and chop with ease, while the flat spine allows you to comfortably press down on the blade when extra power is needed to slice through hard-skinned items like acorn, or butternut squash.



Whether a seasoned, or novice home chef, Victorinox Swiss Army offers not only the right tools and the know-how, but most importantly, the confidence to achieve one’s culinary aspirations. Expertly crafted in Switzerland since 1884, Victorinox offers a lifetime guarantee against defects in material and workmanship.



Please NOTE that this item ships with the International item number 6.8083.20 on the blade and not 6.8083.20US1, but is the same 8" Swiss Classic Chef's Knife with Granton Blade.



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.



In 2011 Victorinox began marketing all its product lines, including kitchen knives, under the common umbrella name by which the company is now popularly known – Victorinox Swiss Army.



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!



Hand Washing

Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately.



Dishwasher

While Swiss Classic 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.



Maintaining your Knife’s Edge

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, but remember that a honing steel will not sharpen a dull knife. Honing steels are maintenance tools and are used to help keep an already sharp blade from degrading. During use, a knife edge becomes rolled or turned from direct contact with cutting boards, bones or other hard objects. In this case, honing is necessary to straighten the edge of the knife. After significant use, the steel particles become damaged and the edge cannot be brought back by honing, so sharpening is necessary. If your knives are dull, pitted, or you see visible nicks on the cutting edge, you’ll need to sharpen with a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener (49002) or bring to a professional for re-sharpening.



History and Heritage

In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and in 1897 with the Officer’s Knife. In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born.



Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.
