VictorinoxWooden Handled Carving Knife 17.8 cm, Brown, Ice-Tempered High Carbon Stainless Steel, Blade Length: 17.8 cm/7 inch, Weight: 100g, Swiss Made, C604

After working in professional kitchens for a bit these are literally your right hand man.And in my experience this has been one of my favourite knives to use for prep, it’s a relatively firm steel, with a little bit of flex so you can use it for multitude of purposes whilst keeping a nice edge.It’s light, manoeuvrable, and really comfortable to hold and use for hours.It’s got an 80/20 bevel bias so it’s great for chopping/dicing and mincing. it’s a polished edge so food isn’t going to stick to it too hard as you’re cutting through it.Personally for the £40 i spent, I wouldn’t buy another knife other than this.

First off, I must say that I am a sous chef and not just a total weirdo. I discovered that this particular knife was the weapon of choice for Michael Myers in the movie Halloween 2 so decided to add it to my collection. It’s now by far my favourite day to day knife! It’s incredibly lightweight and the blade is sheer perfection. I have to cut meat at work incredibly thin and this knife is just perfect for it. Next on my list will be the rosewood filet knife.

Have always used victorinox knives in the kitchen and have always seen me well. Good product that you can’t go wrong with

I'm a chef in the restaurant of a hilton hotel, and have just finished my full knife set with this purchase, and oh my was it a good one. This knife is incredible. Its light weight, sexy and cuts like butter. The value for money you get with this knife is beyond any other, and stands strong as a perfect addition to any chefs knife roll. VERY highly recommend

This knife is satisfyingly sharp to begin with, however it doesn't hold an edge particularly well. I personally find the knife a bit on the light side, but this is a point of preference and would be great for someone who likes a lighter knife. I also use a number of Global knives and would probably suggest that, on balance, spending that bit more on those is probably better value for money. However, if this is all you can stretch to, it's definitely worth a try.

This knife has become the only knife in my kitchen. Despite a thinner blade, it works extremely well for the majority of my kitchen chopping slicing and dicing!I really live the rosewood handle, it looks very sleek and feels great to hold with a great balance to it. With proper care, it’ll be a knife to use for a long time.

lovely light easy to resharpen . knife.not as sharp as Japanese knives I have but way easier to sharpen and very light to hold good for £30 quid.i also like them in the plastic handle versions which are more ergonomic

Yes its surgical steel. Which means its not great and staying sharp. Surgical steel has be amazing at not rusting. However you may well want your kitchen knife to not rust but also maintain sharpness for longer between maintenance sessions. If so look elesware and maybe spend a little more. The blade is on the thin and flexible side. If you want weight then also look else where. Japanese STYLE knives might be worth a look if you do like lighter knives and dont want to soend lots. Do your research though. There are high priced knives out there with clever descriptions that are made from entry price steel. If the descrptions say German steel or Japanese steel beware! Its the grade thats important, not the country. I am actually going for a knife made in China. However its from high quality steel and appears in numerous reviews for professional chefs with great reviews. The one i want has a hard steel core, not very rust restitant so it is then sleaved or layered with rust resistant steel to give you the best of both worlds. I wont name it. Do your research is what i am saying. Knowledge is power🪚😁👍
