Victorinox Fibrox Pro 12-Inch Slicing Knife with Granton Edge and Black Handle

Oh my, sharp, such smooth even slices. I bought this to slice meat for jerky, best buy since my dehydrator, maybe better. I started to make jerky for high protein, low carb, low sugar snacks. If you've never had fresh warm jerky, you have missed a true treat. Home made beats the packaged brands less cost, and allows for a variety of meats and flavors (beef, chicken, pork, spicy, teriyaki.....). I Tried it on two eye of round roasts, as I was anxious, the first was chilled firm, but not as solid I usually had to for the knife that came with my old slicer set. The difference was like night and day, smooth cuts, no sawing. Cuts were uniform, no blade flexing making uneven spots, cut all the way through (horizontally under the meat), no tapering, didn't have to move the roast to orient to a trailing edge. finished slicing in 1/3 the time too. Then when I would have had to switch blades to trim to size, once again this knife did the job, cutting like soft butter, and because of the length I got some fantastic pieces. The second roast was a bit firmer, I tested other cuts, first I took rounds off the thick end, even tried some free hand (with out the slicer form, just this knife), and finished with the slicer unit, the knife started sharp and remained sharp. I even though about donning a cutting glove, as I got near the end of my task, with the meat being about twice the width of the slice. This knife also was great with some left over turkey breast, I can hardly wait to use it on the holiday ham. If there was any downside, it was the packaging, a plastic bubble, that while allowing a good view of the knife and keeping the edges protected during shipping, may lack the elegance of a box that some people may desire. It also lacked an edge guard, but with only adults in the kitchen, it is not an issue for me. Personally I would rather have a good knife, the package doesn't matter when it in use, and that's what this is. A very good knife. Final notes - the Fibrox handle was very comfortable at different cutting angles. It has a dual sided Granton blade. The blade is well balanced and centered in the handle, and should be usable right or left handed. For a 12 inch blade it is very light and maneuverable. The blade is Swiss made, and NSE certified. It is supposed to be dishwasher safe, though I would be sure to place it in a way other items won't bump the cutting edge.

Amazing knife, beautiful, razor sharp, dishwasher safe, comfortable grip, wet or dry. I'm a practical person, so I wanted a quality slicing knife, but didn't want to spend hundreds on some flashy blade, like these Instagram posers. I also didn't want to buy some off-brand either. I wanted it to be durable, comfortable, dishwasher safe and easy to sharpen. I was given a 10 inch Victorinox Chefs knife 20 years ago as a gift. The exact same series as this knife and I use it daily at home. Run it through the dishwasher daily and I hit it with my sharpening steel maybe once every 2 weeks to restore it edge. It is still my favorite knife and is a good as the day I got it and I have no doubt I will have it forever. This slicing knife is the same quality and will likely be the last 12 inch slicing knife I ever own.

Excelente cuchillo, tiene un muy buen filo . Lo he usado para partir brisket, lechón, costillar ahumado y picaña y todo lo corta Perfecto. Es fácil de usar y no se raya fácilmente, una gran compra.

This is a scary knife: big, fairly weighty and extremely sharp. It is quite long with a blade length of 29 cm and remarkably wide at 4 cm. I bought it as a carving knife as recommended by several reviewers who rated it very high. However, I found it messy when cutting a joint of pork and it was hopeless at cutting through crackling. It actually is described as a edge slicing knife and not a carving knife and this is really a better description. It is the wider width than standard that allows such straight cutting, while the sharpness of the blade makes such a difference. This difference in description (slicing knife) is important as while it might be great for carving more solid textured meat, for a general purpose carving knife a serrated edged knife would be better. Indeed, the Victorinox carving knife with serrated edge proved to be a great Christmas present for my son-in-law and perhaps I should have bought the same. That knife not only cut through all manner of meats, but it did so with great accuracy and produced very thin and uniform slices as required. However, for fine textured meat the Granton slicing knife will be splendid and I find it a brilliant bread knife giving a really straight cut with no crumbs.

Like the TV series The Good Knife :) I love it, it's super sharp and does a great job. Decent value for the money. Maybe a little better grip to the handle but that is just me for someone else the grip could be perfect. I enjoy the knife, does great job, would buy again..
