great deal on a really nice chef knife
beerorkid | June 1, 2009
I really like my kitchen knives and have been geeking out on them for a while. Headed to amazon to check out some of the really fancy knives and saw many references to the Victorinox 8-Inch Chef’s Knife in reviews of very expensive knives. Victorinox, who makes those swiss army knives sells a decent priced knife with a plastic handle. They usually run $30, but Amazon has them on sale for $13 and has for a few weeks. If you have been thinking of getting a nice chefs knife this is a perfect one for so cheap.
The blade is a high carbon stainless and is polished to a mirror finish. the spine is rounded and the handle is molded for a perfect pinch grip that will not cause discomfort during lots of cutting. When I compare it to my Kitchenaid knife, the Victorinox seems stronger and is a bit wider. I picked up two of them and they got a bunch of use over the weekend.
Thanks for this pic, it's much better than the seemingly

I am simply in love with this knife. I keep it
beerorkid | June 30, 2009I am simply in love with this knife.
I keep it in a drawer because it does not fit in my block. I use it for everything. I cannot pimp it enough. Best knife I have ever had.
I keep trying to sharpen my kitchenaid knives with extended sharpening to try to get them to perform like this knife and nothing compares.
I guess time will tell on their longevity, but this knife is my fave and fricking rules.
the polish on the blade makes a difference to how
