Victorinox Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife, 8-Inch

This is the best knife to buy at a budget price. Seen lot of videos and reviews, decided to buy a Mercer then I bought a sabatier, but after buying this victorinox, I just regretted buying the previous two. Sharp, balanced, good handle and maintain edge.

Great knife, holding the sharpness well after 6 months of daily use.

Sharp like a razor!!!

Easy to grip..

The blade is perfect but the handle is like a normal cheap knives.

Good materials and shape

The knife received is a cheap 15 dhs knife (cost of the Victorinox is 150 dhs). Extremely disappointed. Returning the item.

The knife size recieved from 1 end the the other was 15inches and the blade size itself was around 10inches had to return it for it’s bigger the. What I was looking for

I can see why ATK had Victorinox Fibrox Pro series as a recommended set of knives. They are relatively inexpensive, durable, very sharp, and a workhorse. This knife came very sharp so all you need to do is a quick wash and you can start using it.Prior to buying this knife, I've had many other knives that were cheaper and they do not hold their edge long enough. It was a chore to cut anything. This knife basically slices through anything with ease.I know for many of my friends and family members that had a Victorinox Fibrox, the fibrox handle is a love-hate thing. I personally love the grip of them. It feels a bit like sandpaper so you have superb grip, even when wet. My friends don't feel the same way.In terms of price/value, unless you are a collector and want to spend hundreds of dollars buying nice looking knives, the Fibrox Pro is more than enough for every day use. If many commercial kitchens use this, I don't see why I need to spend hundreds on something subjectively better. This is a tool more than a display object for me.

Best Chef's knife made of stainless steel, that you can get for your money. super sharp, looks awesome superstar of your kitchen.

Update: 4/12/20I originally gave this product 4 starts, but 4 years later I’m updating this to 5 stars. I have both the Wusthof classic and the Bob Kramer chef’s knives, but time and time again I reach for this Victorinox one instead. Why? It’s simple, lightweight, and easy to use. I can throw it in the dishwasher after cutting raw meat and not worry about the knife rusting or damaging the handle material. I’m a Microbiologist by profession and I actually bought another one of these so I can use one for raw meat if needed. The Wusthof is heavier and after using it for multiple meal preps my hand would get tired. I use these 2 Victorinox knives for 99% of my everyday cooking needs. If I could do it over again, I would only buy these and save the $$$.————For starters I'm not a professional chef, but I love quality products with a great value and that is why I wanted to review this product.I bought this last August after watching America's Test Kitchen's knife set video. I bought this as a replacement primary chef's knife to replace a set of 4 stainless steel knives (Wolfgang Puck I believe and not the best knives around) that have gone dull. The knife is great and sharp right out of the box, but it does feel a bit light in comparison the the European full tang knives. It's great and agile, but at the same time it lacks a bit of weight when cutting something big like a watermelon or a butternut squash. I actually loved this knife until I bought a butternut squash to cut. It did the job but wasn't with ease. I did not end up removing my old dull set and just ended up buying a knife sharpener to see if that helps, because that European styled chef's knife had a good weight and length (9" instead of 8") to cut thing like the butternut squash or watermelon. Another downside is that this knife feels thinner than my old set. I'm assuming it's because this blade is made at a 15 degree angle and the old European chef's knife was made at a 20 degree angle. The 15 degree angle offers a sharper knife but it also makes it more prone to dents. I already see little tears along the sharp end of the blade, but I'm sure that is fixable with a good knife sharpener. I wonder if the 10" version of this knife would work better for watermelon and veggies with larger surface areas. Another thing is I was taught to fast tap chop your garlic and ginger to mince it by my Chinese mother. This knife just doesn't have the weight for that in comparison to a full tang chef's knife (I wonder if the Victorinox Santoku would be better for that purpose).I think this knife is of great value and quality and recommend it to anyone looking for a good chef's knife. I actually would recommend the set of 4 knives from Victorinox Victorinox 4-Piece Knife Set with Fibrox Handles for anyone that has a child going away to college or starting a new home. It is a good starter collection that has the essentials (at least a 10 inch bread knife, an 8 inch chef's knife, and a small pairing knife) to fulfills 99% of home cooking needs. I also read a good review on the 5" mini chef knife from Victorinox. The reviewer purchased the 10" version of this and the 7" Victorinox Santoku along with the 5" mini. That was a good review and I suggest others read that review as well to see if those 3 knives together would work better for your needs.I know a great chef who once told me that you don't need the best knife for daily cooking but you have to hold the knife in your hand to judge if it's comfortable and to know how to sharpen/maintain a knife.
