Victorinox Swiss Classic Chef's Knife, 8"
Because carving should be effortless, Victorinox has created the Swiss Classic Carving Knife to ensure smooth, uniform cuts every time. The ergonomic handle and balanced design ensure absolute stability on the cutting board. The slender, super sharp blade allows you to slice all kinds of meat with superior grace and precision.
America's Test Kitchen Recommended
The tapered knife edge is ground in two directions for maximum cutting performance & durability and easy to sharpen.
DO MORE AT ONCE
The overall shape of the blade, with a long, sloping curve, lends itself to “rocking” very well, allowing one to mince and chop with ease, while the flat spine allows you to comfortably press down on the blade when extra power is needed.
SWISS STAINLESS STEEL
Made with high-quality, lightweight European steel that reduces hand and wrist fatigue, and stays comfortable even after extended use in the home kitchen.
ERGONOMIC BALANCED DESIGN
Designed to minimize wrist tension while providing a secure grip, the contoured nylon handle is both lightweight and durable.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2024Style: Chef's KnifeVerified PurchaseI own many knives, and I’m not sure why I waited so long before buying this one. Perhaps it was because I already had several expensive knives and felt like I didn’t need another budget knife. Let me tell you, this one is fantastic value.
Right out of the box, it came with a great edge, ready to tackle any kitchen task. The ergonomics are impressive, making it comfortable to use for extended periods. Surprisingly, I find myself reaching for this knife more often than some of my pricier ones. There’s a certain ease in using it without the fear of damaging a high-end blade, which makes it perfect for a variety of kitchen chores.
• Excellent value for the price
• Comes with a sharp edge out of the box

- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2025Style: Chef's KnifeVerified PurchaseAfter using this knife twice at my daughter's home and swearing that I would steal it from her, I bought one for myself. Couldn't be happier with that decision. After 40 years of using an old butcher knife my Dad passed on to me, and banging my knuckles while trying to chop or slice through vegetables and meats, I have a proper blade that is lightweight but sturdy and sharp, with a lifetime guarantee. A sheath would have been nice (because this doesn't fit the knife block Dad made for me), but you can get a sheath that fits like a glove through another amazon seller.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2025Style: Chef's KnifeVerified PurchaseAlways an excellent knife. Love the way it cuts thru everything. Just my favorite. If I only had one knife this would be it!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2024Style: Chef's KnifeVerified PurchaseVictorinox has shown to be the best multi use knife in this price range, compared to all the European and Japanese brands. If you're not willing to spend more than $150 on a chef's knife, this is the reliable and durable one.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016Style: Chef's KnifeVerified PurchaseWhat can be said about this knife that hasn't already? I just wanted to add my voice to the cacophony of approval for this excellent knife.
More expensive chef's knives can be had, yes. Higher quality, too. If you really love cooking and you have a bunch of money to spend and you really care about the quality of the steel and the heritage of the design and the exact alloy that went into the blade and the quality of the wood on the full-tang handle, this is probably not the knife for you.
If you cook at all, though, and you don't have a bunch of money to spend on a fancy knife, then this is easily your best option. Even if you've never bought a knife outside of a block set before. Even if you don't really like to cook. Especially if you've only bought knives in a set or don't like to cook, even. This knife is so good that you will find yourself wondering why you didn't like chopping before. You will hate cooking away from home because it will mean using a knife that isn't this one. It's that good. I bring it along when I'm going to cook somewhere.
Let's talk about the steel. Who cares? If you're buying this knife you probably don't. You don't need to. All you need to know is it comes sharp and it stays that way, and it hones up nicely with a diamond rod. It cleans easily, it doesn't rust, and it's got a nice weight to it. The shape is as it should be. Don't stick it in the dishwasher, although you could probably get away with it a few times. But don't.
Let's talk about the handle. It's made of some kind of plastic, but again, who cares? It has a nice texture that keeps it in your hand, the shape is great for prolonged use, and it doesn't leak like some hollow-handled knives do (water can get in and rust your handle from the inside; not here).
For this price, for this knife, it's a no-brainer. Buy it. Buy it, buy it, buy it. Even if you have fancier knives, buy it. Even if you don't think you need a knife this big, buy it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025Style: Chef's KnifeVerified PurchaseI read Wirecutter's testing of many knives and I was loathe to pay $140 for the top recommended knife, but this was the choice if you wanted a "budget knife." Being old, I have to laugh at the "budget" label, as I recall when a knife like this would have been $20 sixty years ago.
I carefully pulled the knife from the box, as it was - according to the New York Times Wirecutter review, extremely sharp.
I immediately pulled a potato out of the cabinet, put the knife on top of it, and it cut through it as though it was warmed-to-room-temperature butter. Loved it, but being a strong guy, I was awed by how easily it cut through the potato. I also thought I should never handle this knife carelessly. I cut tomatoes, celery (was making clam chowder soup, anyway). And the height of the blade is enough that when you hold it, your hand does not EVER COME NEAR THE COUNTER UNDERNEATH. I'm used to blades not quite as deep.
All I can say is: Try It. You'll like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Value for money & sharp as a sword !
Style: Chef's KnifeVerified PurchaseExcellent knife!! For a person like me who has a fetish for good knives it’s a pleasure. I am a big fan of Wusthof knives. But Victorinox also is very good. Loved it. But only con... the packing wasn’t great. Very casually slipped into a packet. Could have been wrapped well. But product is excellent!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pretty sharp as I would love it

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal and sharp
Style: Chef's KnifeVerified Purchase⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This chef knife is absolutely phenomenal! From the first slice, I could tell this knife was a game-changer. It’s incredibly sharp, allowing for precision cuts whether I'm chopping vegetables, slicing meat, or dicing herbs. The balance and weight of the knife are perfect, making it comfortable to use even during long cooking sessions. The ergonomic handle provides a secure grip, reducing hand fatigue and ensuring safety. The high-quality steel has maintained its sharpness remarkably well, and it’s also very easy to sharpen when needed. Overall, this knife has quickly become my go-to in the kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not for me.
Style: Chef's KnifeVerified PurchaseOne of the best knives out there. But as I am scared of sharp objects I would give it to someone who can use it without any fear. Though the knife is significantly too big for Indian household cooking. And maybe too sharp for amateurs.
