Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox 40521 10-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

Customer Review: Astonishing Piece of Equipment
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been curious to find out for myself, and I can tell you that everything America's Test Kitchen has said about Victorinox knives holds true. I've had this knife for three weeks now, and it's difficult to find fault with it. It is not as solid feeling or hefty as my Wusthof 8-Inch Cook's knife and I almost knocked off a star for that. I quickly recalled that the Victorinox didn't cost $100 either. It has passed all my kitchen tests with flying colors. Out of the box, the first test was fresh tomatoes. The knife is as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel. With very little pressure, the knife sliced tomatoes tissue thin. Next up, mincing fresh garlic and herbs: effortless and extremely efficient. Slicing roast beef: getting wafer thin slices couldn't be easier. I waited a couple of weeks to try my ultimate chef's knife test: chicken bones. I was concerned about the knife's light weight and lack of heft. Although it is razor sharp, is it strong? Off came the chicken's backbone in two strokes! Not a mark or dent on the blade anywhere. This knife is quite long, so I did have to be careful not to slice into the breast on the other side of the chicken. Overall, amazing. Also, the knife is easy to maneuver despite its length. I can thinly slice pitted olives with confidence and safety and in the next move quickly chop a couple of bunches of kale. It maintains its original sharpness with just a few strokes on a steel.

On to the handle. It isn't pretty (I really like the look of the Wusthof riveted handles) but it provides an awesome, solid grip. Hands wet or greasy? No matter. There is just no slip with the Fibrox handle. I can't recommend this knife highly enough for the home chef. It's an unbelievable $32 very, very well spent.

Description of Victorinox 40521 10-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

The R H Forschner by Victorinox Chef's Knife features an 10-inch blade that is 2.25-inches wide at the handle. High carbon, stainless steel blade is 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. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.
