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.

Question:	when it says 8 inches, is that the length of the blade itself, or is that the blade plus the handle
Answer:	8 inches is the length of just the blade, handle not included in measurement
Question:	Is this from their Professional-S series
Answer:	No - The S Series are made in Germany, do not have the rivets in the handle, and cost almost 2x of the Classic Series. As others have pointed out, you still get a great knife for the price. My S knives still need to be honed and sharpened regularly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Difference between this chef knife to wusthof classic 8-inch cook's knife
Answer:	I recommend wüsthof but that's my personal preference. I have all Wüsthof knives. But its all about what suits you.
Question:	My knife says "classic wustof" on the blade while others (picture) say "wustof classic" with more information. is there a difference? just curious
Answer:	a Chefs knife is longer and more curved for chopping, slicing, and dicing food where a cooks knife is used for food prep. They are both very sharp out of the box. I don't think the knife police will stop by and tell you that you are using the wrong knife. Just use what feels good in your hand while working in the kitchen. I use the large knife when cutting larger items like a tomato so that I can go all the way through it. I use the smaller one when cutting smaller vegi's
Question:	How big is this knife
Answer:	The Classic costs about 2X the Chef's. The Classic has a full steel tang. Look at where the blade joins the handle in the Amazon photos. See the difference? I didn't until I bought a Chef's.
Question:	where to contact wusthof in u.s.a
Answer:	The Gourmet line are stamped versus the Classic line which are forged.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why is this knife so inexpensive
Answer:	You have to purchase two more power supplies for the 3 unit option. I assume that you want the three (or 4) individual 42 LED units to be separated and not linked in a chain. To operate 3 units separately you will have to purchase 2 more power supplies at $18/each. That would give you total control of the low and high power options as well as on/off for all three units.
Question:	what is the angle of the factory edge on the culinary genesis and culinary millennia chef's knives
Answer:	No, The dimmer we received with ours will return to the "lights off" setting when power is removed and restored. You must press the "power on" button and reset the light level after power is disconnected. Also note the circuit (dimmer with red LED and transformer) draws about 1W when counter lights are off. We have 5, 12" sections and they draw about 13W total when on. You could use the Lightkiwi dimmable transformer with a dimmer switch on the wall, or you might be able to find a similar PWM control with a memory or fixed control knob to replace the Lightkiwi dimmer.The power button is a little hard to find mounted under the cabinet. The old florescent lights that these replaced were touch sensitive. We love the lights and they are bright enough that we often use the dimmer.
Question:	Many reviewers mention the knife arrived dull! Is that the case?!?! Please respond
Answer:	That is not recommended.
Question:	Will this knife cut sushi without shredding the nori
Answer:	I bought this from Costco (cheaper). I connected it with the motion sensor last which made it always on. Then I connected the power supply via a smart power plug so that I can schedule and control it with Alexa.

User questions & answers

Question:	Many reviewers mention the knife arrived dull! Is that the case?!?! Please respond
Answer:	We factory sharpen all of our double bevel chef knives to 15 degrees
Question:	is it serrated
Answer:	I think you want a fine edge when doing that, so something that has an angle of 14 degrees or less for the cutting edge, on each side, or a blade that's only beveled on one side, and also a blade that doesn't get very much thicker as the blade cuts through. A high quality Chinese chef knife is good, or getting a blade such as the manufacturer suggested is good. I use a European 8" chef knife to cut through sushi rolls, but I have it sharpened at 14 degrees and the blade is thin, but I have to rinse it about every 4 cuts. I also have to hone it more often because of the fine angle.
Question:	what is the angle of the factory edge on the culinary genesis and culinary millennia chef's knives
Answer:	Hi. I'm from Victorinox. There are variations in the mold used by the factory for the handle. The handle is the same though and still made in Switzerland. Could you tell me more about what is different on the blade? They are phasing out the Swiss emblem at the factory, so you will start to see just "Victorinox" on the blade. I believe the item number should still be there too though. Not all 3rd party sellers on amazon are "authorized" sellers, meaning they are not buying their knives directly from us. It is best to buy directly from amazon or an authorized 3rd party seller.
Question:	Will this knife cut sushi without shredding the nori
Answer:	Hi. I'm from Victorinox. The knife has a 50% tang. Most stamped knives have what's called a "rat" tang, which is usually much shorter and can sometimes come loose. The tang will never come loose from the handle and that is guaranteed in our warranty. Professionals in meat processing facilities use our knives all day long. They are balanced for the weight of the blade and handle. Knives that have a heavier blade, need a full tang for balance.

Product features

Shun

“Shun” (shoon) is a concept at the very heart of Japanese cuisine. In Japanese, shun is the word used to describe local, seasonal food when it is at the peak of its flavor and freshness—at the peak of its perfection.

Shun Cutlery is known for its exquisite beauty and ultra-premium performance. Yet as beautiful as Shun is on the outside, and as beautifully as it performs in your kitchen, its true beauty may be in what you don’t see.

Handcrafted in Japan

Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete. While we maintain these ancient traditions of handcrafted quality, we also take advantage of thoroughly modern, premium materials and state-of-the-art technology to provide that traditional quality to millions of professional chefs and avid home cooks throughout the world.

Knife Steel is Essential

Heat treatment—an invisible, yet vital, process. This exacting process is fundamentally important to ensuring that your Shun provides lasting value. In heat treatment, the metal is heated and cooled to change its microstructure, bringing out its very best properties. With precise heat treatment, blade steel becomes finer grained, making it stronger and harder so blades can be thinner, sharper, and give you a longer-lasting edge. Shun’s experts are, quite simply, masters of the heat treatment process.

Quality and Performance

Shun is the exact moment when a fruit has reached its ideal ripeness, when a vegetable is at its very best, or when meat is at its most flavorful. Home cooks and professional chefs alike celebrate shun in their kitchens, eagerly awaiting each season’s bounty and serving every ingredient in its proper time.

Shun Cutlery proudly takes its name from this Japanese culinary tradition of eating the freshest food at the perfect moment. We took this name to honor this seasonal, mindful way of eating and as a mark of our dedication to making kitchen cutlery that is always at the peak of its perfection, too.

Shun Classic

Shun Classics are the original Shuns, the first Japanese-style knives to be made available to a wider audience in North America. Instead of heavy ponderous blades, Shun Classic blades are lighter with razor-sharp edges and crafted from advanced steel. Rather than weighty, Western handles, Shun Classic offers the graceful control of a traditional Japanese handle.

With Shun Classic, you'll discover a wide selection of traditional blade shapes as well as unique shapes - so you can always find the right handcrafted knife for every kitchen task.

Pakkawood Handle

These traditional Japanese-style handles have a slight ridge on the right side, which fits into the curl of the fingers for a comfortable and secure grip. Viewed end-on, the shape resembles the capital letter "D". Pakkawood is waterproof, incredibly durable, and won't harbor bacteria.

Shun is Different

If you've never owned a Japanese knife before, you'll immediately notice how different a Shun feels in the hand. Shun is harder, lighter, and sharper. Sharpened to a steeper angle (16 degrees) with an edge that will hold longer, the Classic line is designed to cut in a smooth, slicing motion.

Layered Steel

Shun proprietary VG-MAX cutting core is a high-end "super steel" that is extremely hard, enabling Shun Classic knives to take an incredible edge and hold it longer.

Stainless Damascus Cladding is made of 34 layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade, for a total of 69 layers. Classic's cladding supports the cutting core, adds stain and corrosion resistance, and looks elegant.

Shun and Sharpening

Shun brand products sold by Kai USA Ltd. are backed by Shun against manufacturing defects. In addition to supporting our products, we will be happy to sharpen your Shun or Kai knife for free for as long as you own the knife.

Product description

honed and hand-finished by the most skilled artisans, the knives' laser-controlled edge is incredibly sharp. The sturdy bolster provides the right balance and acts as a finger guard. Precision-forged from a single piece of solid steel, these three rivet handle knives deliver optimum balance and safe handling. Professional chefs worldwide trust the tradition and quality of these impressive knives. This is a classic French chef's knife, with a broad blade and a curved cutting edge for rocking through a chopping task. The 8-inch blade suits most cooks, though those with small hands might prefer a 6-inch knife, and those with bigger hands might choose a 10-inch one. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of knives this size and larger combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack From the Manufacturer A Reliable Standard in Knife Construction Twin Pro S knives are precision forged from a single piece of exclusive-formula, high-carbon, no-stain steel under the all-new Sigmaforge standard. As a result, Twin Pro S knives have improved quality consistency, lasting sharpness, and perfect geometry. Sigmaforge one-piece construction also provides high precision and improved stability of the blade and steel structure, thus improving cutting-edge retention for lasting sharpness. In addition, Twin Pro S knives use J.A. Henckels Friodur ice hardening for corrosion resistance, a process that also contributes to cutting-edge retention. An Ergonomic Handle for Easier Use Features

This is a classic French chef's knife, with a broad blade and a curved cutting edge for rocking through a chopping task. The 8-inch blade suits most cooks, though those with small hands might prefer a 6-inch knife, and those with bigger hands might choose a 10-inch one. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels's other quality lines, TwinStar, Five Star, and Four Star. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. High-tech welding of knives this size and larger combines three steel types into what appears to be a single piece, so a knife's parts have distinct characteristics: a hard edge; a strong, stain-resistant bolster; and a stain- and corrosion-resistant tang. Traditionalists insist on single-piece forging for strength, but Henckels says the invisible welds are actually stronger than the steel. While this chef's knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

Product description

A great all-rounder. The 8" Swiss Classic Chef’s Knife can handle nearly every kitchen task imaginable, with its incredibly sharp edge and textured, ergonomic handle, each cut is like slicing through butter. “Recommended” by a leading gourmet consumer magazine that features unbiased ratings and reviews of cookware and kitchen equipment, this Chef's Knife is preferred due to its razor sharp edge that rarely requires re-sharpening.



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.



Offering perfect balance and featuring the same world-renowned blade as found on our Fibrox Pro line, the 8" Swiss Classic Chef’s Knife provides a professional-grade tool optimized for home use. 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 is optimally weighted with high-quality, lightweight European steel that reduces hand and wrist fatigue, making it comfortable even after extended use in the home kitchen. Perfectly suited for dicing onions, mincing shallots, chopping herbs, crushing garlic, slicing meats of all varieties, and shredding cabbage, 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 6.8063.20 on the blade and not 6.8063.20US1, but is the same 8" Swiss Classic Chef's 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.



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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why doesn't the knife I got match the one in picture? The knife that came does not have "Fibrox" on the handle nor does the blade match the picture
Answer:	Hi, I'm from Victorinox. It helps if you hone the edge each day. It's not sharpening the knife, but realigning the edge so that it doesn't go dull. Swipe each side of the knife against the steel once or twice. Most of the people who own our knives and take care of them in this fashion can go 6 months to a year without sharpening. . .and that is with daily use. This is our best-selling steel on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Cutlery-9-Inch-Sharpening-Plastic/dp/B00092RFTS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1406529348&sr=8-3&keywords=victorinox+honing+steelI hope that helps.Tracey
Question:	Are these knives full tang
Answer:	I looked at the Victorinox catalog and it appears the only difference is that the 40520 was "Tested and certified bei NSF-International." They both are authentic Victorinox. This model, 6.8063.20 on page 104, appears to be the same blade as the other with different ergonomics on the handle. Being $7 cheaper from Amazon but nearly identical knife, this seems the way to go.
Question:	I received this less than a week ago, at first the cutting was precise and easy, now it slips when I cut foods like it's getting dull. anyone else
Answer:	Hi Daniel, Thank you for your interest! This 8 Inch Chef Knife features an Ultra Sharp 4116 German Steel blade at 55 Rockwell Hardness producing extraordinary cutting performance. The edge is also hand sharpened to 15° per side to maintain the perfect balance between sharpness and retention. I hope that helps! Kind Regards Lucian Stan Iron King
Question:	what's the difference between this one and the item
Answer:	Hi there, Yes, our 8 inch chef knife is available in both colours, brown and black handle. Being prime you can have it delivered next day. For anything else don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected] Kind regards Lucian Stan Iron King

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	I was all prepared to tell you how much I loved these knives and I do love them. This is my go-to knife for bread, cheese, and tomatoes. However, I have no idea where they are made. Sorry.
Question:	Is it made in China
Answer:	Made in TAIWAN.
Question:	How is this different from the Genesis series blade
Answer:	These are bare bones blades meant to get beat up doing rugged tasks like boning and quartering animal carcasses. When you need a knife that you can rely on working on a line this is the type you want to grab. When you're looking for fine cuts and sophistication you'll want a higher quality blade like the genesis. If you notice, the taper on these commercial blades is a bit sharper; they do this to save money because they don't have to feather all the way back to the spine. It makes the blade look cheap but that's part of what ultimately makes these knives invaluable in commercial kitchens.
Question:	Can the mercer culinary ultimate white 11-inch slicer, wavy edge be sharpened
Answer:	Of course! but not with traditional whetstones. All knives can be sharpened, you just have to have the correct tools in order to do it. Just look for a serrated edge sharpener, I'm sure they sell them on amazon.
