User questions & answers

Question:	If i put 3 of these together, is it like a G
Answer:	No, it is like three G2s put together, unless unless you put all three together in a straight line and then it is like a straight line. You could put them together as a triangle, but I don't think you can put them together as a box.
Question:	What colors are in this pack
Answer:	The colors in the 8-pack pouch are: black, blue, red, green, purple, pink, teal, and burgundy.
Question:	are these American made
Answer:	I should clarify: the black handles haven't been made since 1948, they started making them about 6 or 7 years ago.
Question:	Are all the G2 refills, from extra fine to bold interchangeable with the same G2 pen
Answer:	Yes, they are.

User questions & answers

Question:	How wide is the blade
Answer:	hi Thanks for reaching out to us. The blade is an inch and three quarters at its widest point and the knife is 13 inches long from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle. The overall weight is 8.3 oz. Let me know if you need more. Dave Rhys - Managing Director - Haggel
Question:	Is this knife made made in China
Answer:	Yes but I did not know that when I was purchasing it. It is pretty good.
Question:	Is there a protective sleeve available for the 8 inch chef knife
Answer:	No. I bought the Haggel as a gift, so it doesn't live here (regrettably. It's BEAUTIFUL). It didn't come with a sleeve. I do have a professional chef knife without a sleeve, and a cheap set of WallyWorld knives that do have them. The 8" cheap sleeve fits my pro knife perfectly so there's a good chance they're interchangeable if you want to buy one separately.

Answer:	8 inches is the length of just the blade, handle not included in measurement

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.

Care and handling of Mercer cutlery

The performance of a Mercer Culinary Ultimate White knife can be diminished if it is not cared for properly.

Cutlery should never be washed in a dishwasher because intense heat and harsh detergents may cause the handle to deteriorate. Carefully wash by hand with soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft towel.

Do not soak or submerge in water for long periods of time or use chlorine bleach because it can pit and discolor the blade. Avoid soaking in aluminum or stainless steel sinks because these metals may cause pitting on the blade.

Store in a cutlery block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent injuries.

Product description

A TRUSTED FAVORITE

Preferred by both home chefs and culinary professionals, the 8" Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife can handle nearly every kitchen task imaginable. Crafted with a comfortable handle, superior weight and balance, and a razor sharp edge that rarely requires re-sharpening, this knife is an essential tool for every kitchen.



KEY FEATURES

• High-quality, lightweight European steel.
• Handle design reduces hand and wrist fatigue.
• Fit for dicing, mincing, chopping, slicing, and shredding.
• Long, sloping curved blade that “rocks” for effortless mincing and chopping.
• Flat spine for extra power to slice through hard-skinned items.
• Non-slip patented Fibrox Pro handle for a secure and comfortable grip no matter the hand size.
• National Sanitary Foundation (NSF) approved and 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

User questions & answers

Question:	I am extremely left handed, I can't cut things with my right hand at all. Anybody know if this knife would work for lefties
Answer:	This knife has a 'western bevel', meaning it has a semetrical angle on each side. It works the safe for lefties as it does righties. I'm a lefty and use it daily.
Question:	What is the difference between 40520 and the
Answer:	The 40520 is the model number for the bulk packaged knife, while the 47520 is the commercial packaging model number. The 5.2063.20 is the international item number, but is the same 8" Fibrox Chef's Knife. See https://www.swissarmy.com/us/app/product/Cutlery/Category/Chef-s/8-Fibrox-Chef-s-Knife/47520 for more details. Until I researched it more thoroughly, I thought they sent me the wrong knife, because it didn't have the 40520 or 47520 numbers on it.
Question:	Is this knife okay to use in dishwasher
Answer:	There is a video of a guy throwing this knife into rocks, leaving it in the back of a pickup bed for a month, and all sorts of other knife torture (knife dealer even) and long story short, no burrs, no imperfections just a perfect knife. I have used mine in a dishwasher for years with no issue. They use these knifes at chefs schools because they are indestructible as i understand it.
Question:	should the sharpener angle be15,20 or 30 degrees to sharpen it
Answer:	I have owned these knives for many years. 20 degrees is perfect. Some professionals will also agree, inspite what some may read from manufacturer. I use a 20* , wedge on a fine wet stone= pefect everytime on kitchen, boming and chefs knife.

User questions & answers

Question:	Compared with the ceramic knife, who is better
Answer:	Depending on your aesthetic point of view and your budget, the shape and sharpness of this knife are very good. I bought it because it looks particularly in line with my aesthetics. Ceramic knives are cheaper and easier to break. My answer is : I recommend this knife more.
Question:	Do you need to remove any type of coating on the knife before use
Answer:	Hi! Thank you for your interest in our chef's knife.There is no coating on your knife to remove. It comes with a sheath/packing box as its protective cover. But I still recommend you to clean it after opening the box, after all, it just came out of the warehouse, and then you can use it immediately.

Care and handling of Renaissance cutlery

The performance of a knife can be diminished if not cared for properly.

Cutlery should never be washed in a dishwasher because intense heat and harsh detergents may cause the handle to deteriorate. Carefully wash by hand with soap and warm water, rinse and dry with a soft towel. Do not soak or submerge in water for long periods of time or use chlorine bleach because it can pit and discolor the blade. Avoid soaking in aluminum or stainless steel sinks because these metals may cause pitting on the blade.

Store in a cutlery block or sheath to preserve the cutting edges and prevent injuries.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the bevel ratio? is it
Answer:	Yes the bevel is 50/50
Question:	What steel is this made out of
Answer:	Molybdenum steel
Question:	How do I care for this knife? i.e. does it need sharpening, a coating of oil to prevent rust, etc
Answer:	Mac knives hold an edge very well, as well as high-carbon steel. Mac knives do not rust as easily as high-carbon steel. You will need to sharpen it but not very often at all. From personal experience, sharpen on a 3000-5000 stone (do not re-shape the edgeline) and avoid the steel altogether. Mac knives are rust resistant - it wont rust if you dry it after using it and store it in a dry place. A little oil once in a great while won't hurt but is not necessary.
Question:	how much does this knife weigh
Answer:	It's amazing and super lightweight. Probably like 8oz. I love this knife

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this knife come with a guard
Answer:	This knife does not include a guard or storage.
Question:	Is this 8 inches or 13 inches? There’s conflicting information on this item
Answer:	Probably 8" blade, and 13" including the hilt.
Question:	Good enough for work at restaurant
Answer:	Absolutely. Maybe better than what you need for restaurant work. You want a workhorse of a chefs knife. For this price I use it as a beater and save my niceJapanese Carbon knives for special tasks. You’re not going to want to bring a $200 artisan Japanese Gyuto to work and risk it being stolen(it happens) whereas these Henckels knives are in the $20-40 range. You can even go cheaper and get the ones with plastic handles since all that matters is the blade. You can find those made by Henckels as well as Mercer and Victorinox. Get a sharpener or even just a honing rod and you’re good to go at bones or anything that a Japanese knife couldn’t because they’re far too brittle. Same as at hone, use these for these knives for almost everything and save your fancy MMJ’s a mm
