Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox 40570 Cutlery 6-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle
Customer Review: A Slicer; NOT a Chef's Knife
Summary: 2 Stars
By my way of thinking, a 'Chefs' knife has a number of functions, that include chopping - using the area nearest to the heel of the blade to cut through thicker, denser foods such as raw carrots. The maximum height of this blade is barely 1.5 inches at the heel, which means that there is not enough clearance between the cutting surface and your knuckles to perform the chopping procedure easily or effectively, if at all.
And, the blade is so thin, and therefore flexible, that it makes chopping and similar procedures very awkward and inaccurate.
While good for slicing, skinning and some deboning, due to its flexibility, I don't consider this to be good for most of the heavier operations normally associated with a traditional chef's knife.
Customer Review: Best Knife Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
The handle is perfectly shaped, easy to grip, and feels so good in my hand. This knife creates efficiency, swiftly gliding through squash and potatoes. It is the best knife ever.
I bought this Victorinox knife a few months ago to upgrade from a lesser quality knife, and I am so happy that I did. Yesterday, I was making soup and I reached for a knife to chop some vegetables. My new Victorinox knife was dirty (from easily slicing through cold dense fudge,) so I used my old knife, thinking that it would not be a big deal. I could not believe the difference. My old inferior knife could not even slice through celery without leaving uncut stringy bits. After five seconds of that inadequacy, I went and washed the Victorinox knife, and the rest of my slicing was quick, effortless, and flawless.
Customer Review: Best knife ever !!
Summary: 5 Stars
We've used the 6" Victorinox knives for at least 10 years. They can be sharpened regularly, and always are the perfect size for dicing veggies. I really wouldn't be without them in my kitchen (or our kids kitchens ---we always take them when we visit).
They're certainley affordable, and can be replaced as needed.
Customer Review: Best quality for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Victorinox are great knives. They have been reviewed in tons of cooking magazines and always hold their own against the much more expensive knives. I've owned this knife about six months now, hone it with every use, and it's still razor sharp. If you're cooking with dull knives that you bought in a set at Wal-Mart/Target, get this knife! It will make cooking so much easier!Customer Review: Better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this knife and an 8-inch chef's knife (Forschner) at the same time, thinking that the 8-incher would be my primary knife. Everyone in the family uses this 6" knife all the time. It fits the hand so well and chops veggies superbly. A great bargain too.
