Product Description
Victorinox 5-Piece Chefs Knife Set, Molded Handles: Kitchen & Dining. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria. From the inventors of the famous Swiss Army knife comes a line of fine cutlery designed for accomplished and aspiring chefs at work or in the home. Each blade in the Stamped collection is expertly made in Switzerland from high-carbon stainless steel and undergoes a special tempering process for an edge that can be resharpened again and again. The result is a knife that can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Each blade is conical ground throughout its length and depth, which results in a wider break point with less risk of the blade breaking and less resistance for easier cutting, and then laser tested to ensure optimum cutting power and durability. A great starter set for new kitchens, this 5-piece chef's set of knives from Victorinox Cutlery includes 8-inch chef, 5-inch utility, 4-1/2-inch serrated tomato/bagel, and 3-1/4-inch paring knives. They're complemented by a 9-inch sharpening steel. These commercial-quality blades are made in Switzerland from high-carbon stainless steel that undergoes a special ice tempering process for an edge that can be resharpened again and again. Each blade is conical ground throughout its length and depth, and laser tested to ensure optimum cutting power and durability. They also have a bolsterless edge for use of entire blade and ease of sharpening. The chef's and utility knives feature patented black fibrox handles, while paring and tomato/bagel knives and sharpening steel have black poly handles. Approved by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), the synthetic fibrox handle is ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension, and it features a finger guard for a better grip. Hand washing is recommended, as the heat and the agitation of a dishwasher is not good for the edge of the blades and detergents can cause spots. The handle will also discolor with constant use of the dishwasher. These knives are backed by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturers defects.

Although Victorinox is known the world over as the creator of the Original Swiss Army Knife, the company started out in 1884 as a cutlery workshop. By the time company creator Karl Elsener delivered his first pocket knife to the Swiss Army, his cutlery business was already booming. Over the next century, Victorinox cutlery became a top-rated choice among professionals worldwide, with over 300 blades to offer. Victorinox knives have regularly appeared as highly ranked and recommended kitchen tools in Cook’s Illustrated, Men’s Health, The Cincinnati Enquirer, New York Magazine, and Natural Health, just to name a few. In 2009, the company announced a partnership with professional chef, Daniel Humm, of Eleven Madison Park in New York City. In addition, building on the success of its cutlery business, Victorinox has brought all the same quality and expertise to a wider range of products and accessories, including other kitchen tools, pocket tools, watches, luggage, and clothing. Who is R.H. Forschner? Victorinox had been a staple in European commercial cutlery for over 50 years when approached by New York’s R.H.

Victorinox knives feature high carbon, stainless steel blades, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen.

Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both.
