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.

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:	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.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	These are made in China. victornox are from and made in Switzerland? Knock offs
Answer:	9 inches
Question:	Can they go in the dishwasher
Answer:	Cutco products are American Made. https://www.cutco.com/company/aboutUs.jsp
Question:	Are these similar to the utility knife
Answer:	Full length 9", blade length 4 3/4", blade width 1"Hope that helps
Question:	what is the total length of these knives
Answer:	One reason not to wash them in a dishwasher is that the detergent will pit and deteriorate the aluminum handle rivets. I hand wash good knives, partly because I don't like reaching into a silverware basket which holds sharp knives. I doubt that any temper of the steel would be lost by the temperatures in a dishwasher. Tempering steel involves heating it to well over 400º F while dishwashers never get above 175º F. We all routinely wash stainless spoons and forks, and they last for decades. My knives are marked "stainless", although some stainless steels will rust or patina.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it need frequnt sharpening
Answer:	How frequently you need to sharpen any knife is based on the frequency of use! I am really happy with all of the Victorinox knives that I own - this one gets less use and therefore less sharpening! But they all tend to hold an edge and are extremely sharp plus they're an excellent value for the cost.
Question:	Is this knife good for slicing raw meat too. Sometimes I buy a beef tenderloin and cut it into steaks
Answer:	This knife is good for slicing raw meat however it works a lot better when the meat is partially frozen so the meat will retain its shape as you slice it. I find this knife the best that I have ever used for slicing in uniform thickness if you do a little freezing first. dbf [email protected]
Question:	Looking for best knife to cut smoked ribs (is this a good one for that, others
Answer:	This is the best knife for the price I have ever come upon. It has a very thin blade but cuts anything. Cutting ribs will be no problem.
Question:	does it work for cutting watermelon
Answer:	While I primarily use mine for meats, I also use it for cantaloupes and watermelons that are longer than my next longer knife. Works great of course.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	is this a good trimming knife for brisket
Answer:	This is by far my favorite peeler I have ever owned.. I've had one more almost a year and I abuse it with carrots and potatoes... Normally this company has a warranty of lifetime. If it ever dulls or break, shoot them an email and tell them whats up and they will send you a brand new one... The only problem I face with this product is it will start hurting your hands from the grip, super thin handle but a beast in the kitchen... Order 12 and give them to friends and family and they will love you forever at this peeler, also toss all other peelers in the garbage and never buy any kind else.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	it is a swivel peeler
Question:	How stiff is this blade
Answer:	I am left hander.....and have been using this peeler for years. Hands down the best peeler I have ever owned. Very sharp.
Question:	What sheeth would work well with the curvature of this blade? How wide would it need to be
Answer:	The deluxe peeler is good for produce with thick skin such as cantaloupe. I have both but use the smaller one (132) more often.

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:	I just received this knife set. Only the bread knife has "Fibrox" written on the handle. Did I receive the wrong items
Answer:	No, I own bunch of Fibrox Victorinox knives, and they do not all say it on the handle. I think it has to do with when the handles were actually formed. They are made in a form and they may change the handle shape or wording
Question:	Two of the knives in this set do not say 'Fibrox' on the handles, while the other two do. Are they still the right items or should I return them
Answer:	Even though it doesn't say "Fibrox" for them, the picture shows the handles the same. The non-Fibrox handles (Redwood) that they make are much more expensive and must be hand washed. Recommend keeping them if you like the knives. They are good ones and the Fibrox handles hold up well and are comfortable to use.
Question:	Where are these knives made? Description says blades are "hand finished" in Switzerland ... not that the knives themselves are actually made there
Answer:	The literature says they are made in Switzerland, though it's possible the raw plastic for the handles comes from elsewhere. Doesn't matter anyway, you'll love these knives.
Question:	dishwasher safe
Answer:	I use a dishwasher all the time. Steel tempering happens at ~400 - 600 degrees - my dishwasher only achieves those temperatures on the "melt my dinnerware" cycle. Knives become dull with time because of use. Learn to sharpen your knives or have them sharpened. Dishwasher has nothing to do with it.

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:	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.
