VictorinoxFibrox 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.

This is a fantastic knife! It is light weight and nicely balanced making it easy to use.

I love this knife for slicing up meat. Any meat. Sharp and thin with a nice grip. I like the straight design and length is perfect for slicing brisket, ribs, etc....Haven't needed to sharpen after months of steady use....'Would buy again. Could use a better sheath than it came in (which is flimsy clear plastic that I'm not sure it was meant to be a sheath)...

I like to smoke brisket and tenderloin and have been looking for a better slicing knife for a while. I was put off by some of the crazy prices for the fancy ones but this knife fit my needs perfectly and the price is reasonable. I love the plastic handle and the steel in this blade is top-notch, from the company that makes the Swiss Army knife. I have their pocketknives and some paring knives which are all amazing so I figured their larger knives would be good too, and they definitely are. Hard to find fault with this knife. It slices beautifully and comes with a little sleeve for storage. I haven't had it very long but I expect to get many good years from it.

Ok, this knife will be much too large for many homeowners and family cooks. However, despite the size, it still remains a great home cooking tool. It does exactly what it’s supposed to! Easily and effectively slices meat. Yes, it’s essentially the size of a professional chef’s knife for a large hotel buffet, however, it is simple to handle smooth to operate and effective in doing the work needed.

Excellent knife, smooth cuts and very sharp.

I lost my fine "roaster" knife in a divorce many years ago and just now replaced it with this great tool. For the money it is great good steel and well made. You will be slicing like a pro all you want with this baby. Yes it is thin as mentioned by others, but that is the point, it is supposed to be flexible like a fillet knife. Take a flank steak and lay it flat, then take this knife to the middle and gently flex it to clear the handle and your hand and saw your way to perfect slabs. I would like the balance better if the handle were a little heavier, but it has a great shape, is large enough for my hands and has a good textured surface as not to slip. This is a serious tool for serious slicing. Get yours and enjoy for years to come!

Love this knife! Very high quality! I will be buying more of this brand!
