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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does The 22-piece set actually come with 22 knifes ? I just got the set and it was missing a few knifes, like the large chopping knife
Answer:	I got the smaller set (w/o the steak knives), and I can tell you that the wood storage block counts as one of the pieces. My block had a couple of "free" (empty) slots for me to add knives. If they say 22 pieces, I'd count to see if you got 22 (which would also include the steel for sharpening). You could also count the slots to see if there are more than 21, which would explain any empty slots. As for the large chopping knife, my set did include it and I got it. Read the description and it will tell you what knives would be included... I saw that it said there both 8-inch and 10-inch chef's knives. By the way, I've had mine for several months and I LOVE these knives!
Question:	Are these knifes China made
Answer:	If you move your cursor over the photo, it'll magnify where you can see the knife with the serrated edge is etched with "Swiss Made." So, they are not made in China, but in Switzerland.
Question:	I know this is a Swiss company but where are the knives actually made
Answer:	If I bought the knives for my daughter so not sure where they were made.
Question:	It looks like the block comes with two extra spaces, is that true
Answer:	Yes, there are two extra spaces. You can fit a larger chef's knife in the top slot.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these knives in the set as good as single knives you would buy
Answer:	Stamped
Question:	Are these blades forged or stamped
Answer:	Forschner is the original name of the US distributor for Victorinox products and does not refer to any particular Victorinox product/knife. For a long time, Forschner was the exclusive distributor in the US for Victorinox knives and therefore would put their name on the blade next to the Victorinox logo. Years ago, Victorinox purchased the Forschner distributorship and now owns their distribution in the US. A few years ago, Victorinox phased out use of the Forschner name and removed it from the blade and now only have the Victorinox logo on their products. Fibrox is the name of the plastic material used in the handle of Victorinox kitchen knives.
Question:	What is the difference between the Forschner name and the Fibrox name
Answer:	These knives are made by a factory called Victorinox in Switzerland. The "series" of knives is called Swiss Classic (the handle style on this particular line). Forschner actually used to be the name of the US distributorship for Victorinox -- Victorinox knives were available through Forschner in the US since 1877. However, several years ago the Victorinox company purchased Forschner. Over the last few years, they have since stopped using the Forschner name -- which is why you will no longer see Forschner stamped on the newly produced Victorinox blades. All of the knives in this set are made in Switzerland.
Question:	Is swiss classic and forshner the same or are they 2 different models. do these feel well balanced? handles seem cheap
Answer:	Yes, it's a great watch, it my favorite one.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these stick to a knife magnetic strip
Answer:	It came with a clear plastic vinyl cover with a freezer bag type plastic zipper on it. You could use it as a cover. I keep mine hanging on my wall tool organizer.
Question:	Are these knives full tang
Answer:	Thank you for your question.You can buy the blades replaceable on products page.
Question:	Does the knife set come in a box
Answer:	Not sure but would depend on how much use the blade gets. Mine is still sharp after 6 months
Question:	Do these knives come with a protective plastic sheath
Answer:	Honestly, this saw will do almost anything you need. If you’re just getting started, get this and use it until you find a need for something else. If you find yourself doing incredibly fine work, you might want to get a dozuki, but it’s really not necessary. If you find yourself working really large chunks of wood you might want a kataba.

Product description

The Swiss Classic Santoku Knife is a Japanese style knife known for its versatility. Santoku translates to "three virtues" or "three uses" which refers to the three types of cuts this knife is made for: slicing, dicing, and mincing. It combines features of both a chef's knife and a cleaver. The wide blade is perfect for scooping sliced or chopped ingredients off the cutting board and transferring them into a pot or bowl. The triad of abilities this knife possesses makes it a must-have for every home chef.



Featuring a flat cutting edge and a rounded tip called a sheep's foot, the Swiss Classic Santoku's unique shape makes it a stand-out from other kitchen knives. The flat edge doesn't rock on the cutting surface, which distinguishes it from a chef's knife, and provides a highly efficient motion for slicing, dicing, and mincing. The Granton blade, also referred to as a hollow 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.



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.



Optimally weighted with high-quality, lightweight European steel reduces hand and wrist fatigue, making it comfortable even after extended use in the home kitchen. 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. 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 textured handle feels secure even when greasy or wet, allowing for precise and effortless cuts each and every time.



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 international item number 6.8523.17 on the blade and not 6.8523.17US1 but is the same 7" Swiss Classic Santoku Knife.



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. Today, Victorinox Swiss Army still sells a handful of accessories, including the High Heat Turner line, under the Forschner name.



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 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.



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.

Answer:	Granton edge means the area directly above the blade edge has some concave intentions to help avoid food sticking to side of knife

Question:	Where are these knives made
Answer:	No, the one I received did not come with a sheath nor a box.
Question:	Does it come with sheath or nice box to store it in
Answer:	You may associate heavy with quality, but after more than 5 minutes, the advantages of light weight will become apparent.I have two other santoku, both heavier forged blades, one much more so. If you prep say, veggies for ratatouille with the heavier knife that extra few ounces really begins to take a toll.
Question:	Novice in kitchen here, Seems to cut well but is a little light and not balanced. What should I do? Get used to it/ return? other recommendations

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these serrated on both sides
Answer:	The sharpened part of the serration is only on one side. The serration extends to the bottom edge of the blade, so in essence, it's serrated on both sides but only sharpened on one side.
Question:	Do these ever need to be sharpened
Answer:	Yes they will eventually need to be sharpened. Since most of their blade does not touch surface one is cutting on, they will stay sharp longer. Great knives, use to cut steak, fruits, and vegetables.
Question:	What's the handle mase of? Plastic, wood, silicone, etc
Answer:	Nylon/plastic whatever. But, they are durable knives. This is not cheap brittle plastic and the handle’s texture gives you a good grip. The Fibrox knives have forked blades inserted into the handle, then the handle is formed around the forked inserted blade. This prevents the blade from slipping out of the handle, like in cheap knives. Most highend knives will attach the blade to handle with rivets. In this case, it keeps the cost down, but give you the quality you find in more expensive knives. I love my Victornix knives! Great investment and you can just buy piecemeal, getting knives you’ll use and not a block of useless knives. I have the set of 3 paring knives, set of steak knives, a 6” utility/chef knife, 8” chef knife, a Santoku for slicing veggies and a 10” bread knife (cuts thru bagels like butter)! Then get a magnetic knife block or holder, as your blades won’t get dull when trying to slide them into a slot.
Question:	Do they rust
Answer:	They do not rust. This is my second set. My old set is 20 years old and they show no signs of rust.

About us

In 1884, Karl Elsener opened his cutler’s workshop in Ibach-Schwyz. At this time Switzerland was still one of the poorer countries in Europe. In the early years Karl Elsener worked to combat poverty and unemployment in the Schwyz basin, creating jobs and helping stem the flow of emigration.

In 1891 he supplied the soldier’s knife to the Swiss Army for the first time. He went on to develop the Swiss Officer’s and Sports Knife – now the iconic Swiss Army Knife – in 1897, creating the foundation for a flourishing company that would be able to hold its own on the world stage.

From then on, his spirit of solidarity, deep roots in the region and strong commitment to solid values shaped the Victorinox company philosophy.

Today, Victorinox is a global company with five product categories: Swiss Army Knives, Household and Professional Knives, Watches, Travel Gear and Fragrances. The Swiss Army Knife is the core product and has a pioneering role in the development of all product categories.

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.

Victorinox 6 Inch Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife

• Chef's Knife, 6"
• 1-1/4" width at handle
• Black Fibrox nylon handle
• Slip resistant

Product description

Do you know what the two most used knives are in the kitchen? The paring and the chef's knife. Amazon has put two of their best reviewed knives together along with a honing steel to keep them sharp at an affordable price. These two knives have already been touted as bargains compared to others that cost three times as much by leading consumer magazines. The blades are hand-crafted by master cutlers in Switzerland and carry a lifetime guarantee against manufacturer's defects. The stamped blades are made of the highest quality steel found in many forged blades, but the way the steel is treated is the secret to why the steel stays sharp longer than the competition. These knives are sharpened at a 15 degree angle which is commonly found on Asian style knives and comes in at a 54-56 Rockwell hardness. This is the ideal Rockwell that will allow you to hone the blade again and again and bring back the original factory edge without having to take it to get professionally sharpened. It's the main reason why most butchers have been using our knives since the 1930s. Feel confident that when you bring these home, you bring home the same Swiss quality, engineering and value people have come to expect from Victorinox since 1884.

• Set includes two workhorse blades, the Swiss Classic 8" Chef's Knife and the 3.25" paring knife and a 10" honing steel to keep them sharp
• Our two best-selling knives can accomplish almost any task in your meal prep
• 8" Chef's Knife is our best-selling knife and has been recommended by consumer magazines as the best value in its category
• Commercial grade blades made of high-carbon, no stain steel stay sharper longer than the competition
• All knives made in Switzerland; honing steel made in China

About us

In 1884, Karl Elsener opened his cutler’s workshop in Ibach-Schwyz. At this time Switzerland was still one of the poorer countries in Europe. In the early years Karl Elsener worked to combat poverty and unemployment in the Schwyz basin, creating jobs and helping stem the flow of emigration.

In 1891 he supplied the soldier’s knife to the Swiss Army for the first time. He went on to develop the Swiss Officer’s and Sports Knife – now the iconic Swiss Army Knife – in 1897, creating the foundation for a flourishing company that would be able to hold its own on the world stage.

From then on, his spirit of solidarity, deep roots in the region and strong commitment to solid values shaped the Victorinox company philosophy.

Today, Victorinox is a global company with five product categories: Swiss Army Knives, Household and Professional Knives, Watches, Travel Gear and Fragrances. The Swiss Army Knife is the core product and has a pioneering role in the development of all product categories.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this the same knife as the Victorinox 5 inch mini chef's knife, with 1 1/4in width at handle (model 40552) Amazon sells for about $1 less
Answer:	No, about 3/4's of the way. With this handle type, full tang is not important.
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:	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:	what angle is the blade for sharpening? 15 degrees or 20 degrees
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.

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.
