Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
Customer Review: Decent but far from great
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used this knife on a number of occasions and every time I ask myself what is the big deal? America's Test Kitchen has a very inconsistent philosophy. They rate very expensive All-Clad cookware high but rarely try to rate expensive cutlery. So when they consistently give this knife the victory in every competition, I always get a chuckle. The knife is fairly sharp and is great for a cooking school where cheap and easy to sharpen knives are required but for a personal home knife, I disagree. The fibrox handles are spongy and rubbery. I prefer finished wooden handles which has firmness that translate energy more efficiently and produces a better feel when cutting. A better wooden handle knife is more expensive but well worth it if you planing to use it everyday. This knife also has a large belly and overall a big profile which is not necessary but makes up for a lack of bolster in weight. If you want an utilitarian knife without a pleasurable experience this is for you. But if you want to get some joy out of prep work look at Shun's or others.
