12 best victorinox paring knives

Product description

A TRUSTED FAVORITE

All the qualities of a larger chef's knife, but in a smaller size. The 3.25" Victorinox Cutlery Paring Knife can handle smaller, more precise cuts with ease. Crafted with a comfortable handle, superior weight and balance, and a razor sharp straight edge that rarely requires re-sharpening, this knife is an essential tool for every kitchen.



KEY FEATURES

• High-quality, lightweight European steel.
• Smaller blade for enhanced accuracy and precision.
• Fit for garnishing, mincing, peeling, slicing, and dicing.
• Double ground for sustained sharpness.
• Textured handle for a secure and comfortable grip no matter the hand size.
• 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.

• MULTIPURPOSE PARING KNIFE. Perfect for intricate jobs like peeling or seeding fruit, but versatile enough for bigger tasks like mincing an onion. This paring knife's tapered blade is ground in two directions to hold it's razor sharpness longer.
• MADE FOR INTRICATE TASKS. This blade has all the chef's knife qualities but in a smaller size for precise cuts and control. The increased maneuverability and dexterity makes it an essential for every kitchen.
• EASY HANDLING. Features an ergonomic, textured handle with a non-slip grip -- even when wet. This exceptional knife is weighted and balanced for easy handling.
• KNIFE DIMENSIONS. Stainless steel blade -- 3.25" in length.
• 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 sheath would I order to fit this knife
Answer:	For the Victorinox 40600 3.25" Paring Knife there is a Victorinox Paring Knife Pouch with Clip.This would most likely be the best option for this pairing knife.
Question:	What is the model number of the Victorinox knife with the Fibrox handle ? It is not the one on this page, despite what the title says
Answer:	Well, I'm not sure which knife you are asking about. But, if it's the Victorinox Swiss Classic 8" Chef's Knife, there's a number etched on the blade that might be a "model number".It is 6.8063.20 I've had many "premium" kitchen knives over many years - some costing almost $200, but I have to say that this particular Victorinox Chef's knife is the best one I've ever had. I've used it daily for since January 2014, and it has never needed "sharpening". (I do use a "steel" almost every time I use it, to make sure the blade's cutting edge stays straight, especially since it's a thin blade.) This is the web page on Amazon for this particular knife: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0061SWV8Y/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_itemYou may be interested to know that since I liked this knife so much, I ordered two of their paring knives and a boning knife. The boning knife is OK, but I did NOT like the 2 paring knives. They have a flimsy feel, and even though I have a small hand, they are hard to grasp when I'm cutting anything. I would not buy them again. But I HIGHLY recommend the 8" chef's knife. I'm tempted to get another to put away in case that model is ever discontinued.
Question:	description says fibrox handle but the picture seems to contradict this...is this the case
Answer:	The Knife labeled, "Victorinox Swiss Army 3-1/4-Inch Fibrox Straight Edge Paring Knife, Black" which I purchased from Amazon has a polypropylene handle, not Fibrox. On this page it is listed as being Item model number: 45508, but the item I received (twice) says 40508 on the sleeve the knife came in. I am still in search of the, as of yet, elusive Victorinox paring knife with Fibrox handle which Cooks Illustrated described as:"Product name: Victorinox Fibrox Paring Knife, 3 1/4-inchManufacturer: Victorinox Model Number: 40600 Recommendation Status: Highly Recommended"The Amazon link at Cooks Illustrated brings one to the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EYUDZE/?tag=cioequippilot-20 (Forschner 3.25" Paring Knife) which has no mention of a Fibrox handle, but instead describes the handle as, "Polypropylene handles is dishwasher safe."Amazon says it is working on this problem.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	My paring knife has no marking on it, but the Victorinox packaging says (on the back) it was made in Switzerland. Great little 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 Swiss Classic knives are dishwasher safe, we still 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.

• Multipurpose straight edge paring knife designed for garnishing, mincing, peeling, slicing and dicing with razor sharp, laser-tested, tapered knife edge, which is ground to form an exacting angle to hold a sharp edge longer and ensure maximum cutting performance and durability

• Featuring a short blade for enhanced accuracy and precision, this paring knife is optimally built for jobs where control is essential

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.

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.

Product description

The R H Forschner by Victorinox Paring Knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria. T he Model Numbers 40508 and 45508 are the same item in different packaging.

• Crafted from the highest quality materials
• Built for performance and durability
• Made in Switzerland
• 3-1/4-inch paring knife for coring dicing and mincing fruits and vegetables

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm looking for model #47600 or 40600. Is this model the same or a different one
Answer:	the plastic sleeve the knife came in has 47508 on it;i have no further info. Phyllis
Question:	This item i bought with another knife. my orders say it was delivered but it did not arrive with the other knife. how do i get it or my money
Answer:	I would send a note to the seller
Question:	There seems to be a question about whether the handle is "fibrox" as advertised. Does "synthetic polypropylene" mean "fibrox
Answer:	Some web sites say it is just inspired by fibrox handles instead of actually being fibrox. I have no chemical analysis equipment to answer one way or another. The handle is light and cheap like a child's toy. In some ways that means the knife is light and can be used for a long time each day. On the other hand it does not have the heft of a finely crafted knife. It takes some practice to train your hand to use them. That makes them dangerous. I expect most professionals use them and throw them away daily like a disposable razor.
Question:	why Hand-washing, can't we wash it in the dishwasher
Answer:	Quality cutlery should always be hand washed, as soon as you are done with it. This will preserve the sharp edge as well as the handle. Dishwashers have a tendency to bang utensils against each other and prematurely dull your knife blade.

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.
