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.

Very sharp, but the metal is a little thin

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023

Style: Chef's KnifeVerified Purchase

So far, I’m very happy with this knife, I think it’s a great value for the money.
The handle feels comfortable and I feel like I’m holding it securely even when my hands and the knife is not clean. That is important to me.
Like any knife the key is going to be how long it stays sharp and how it accepts a new edge.
If I had one concern, it would be that the metal is much thinner than my previous knife, so I’m certainly not going to be banging around like I used to and I’m concerned it may not take an edge. But that is all speculation. I still recommend this device for the money.

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016

Style: Chef's KnifeVerified Purchase

What 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.

This is a fine kitchen knife that will stand up to reasonable abuse, sharpening and regular use. It's perfect for the home kitchen. Our has 4 years so far and it cuts and, with moderate use, semi-regular sharpening at home and annual professional sharpening, it looks and cuts as good as it did the day we purchased it.

I bought this with a gift card from my kids after I saw a recommendation on America's Test Kitchen. It has been their recommended knife for years.
The knife was head and shoulders above others I have used, including the Mercer and Henckles that I also own. It does feel good in my average-sized hand. I have cut meat and vegetables with ease.

Swiss made quality!

Reviewed in India on August 15, 2023

Style: Chef's KnifeVerified Purchase

What to say? This is the bests quality you will get for such a low price. As a Swiss and passionate chef I know what I am talking about. Screw all the super expensive as well as the cheap knifes you can buy. Just like with the Swiss army knifes, Victorynox delivers a perfectly balanced chef's knife with no fancy promises. It simply delivers on its professional promise: A solid blade, well balanced, and a proper plastic handle. The latter makes it perfectly machine washable. Just sharpen it before every use like every pro chef does, and you have a life companion.

On a side note: All the reviews here claiming its not sharp or looses sharpness quickly ... really, these guys just dont know how to maintain their tools like a professional. Cant win a war with them for sure. Just whinging and whining. Should grow up and learn how its done properly ... Just my ten cents worth!

One 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.
