Victorinox Fibrox 8" Chef's Knife

The Western-pattern chef's knife is among the world's oldest and most ubiquitous cutlery styles. Originally designed for slicing and disjointing meat, it has evolved into a multipurpose tool used for most food preparation in European cuisine. The long, broad blade is capable of slicing and fine work with the narrow tip as well as chopping and dicing toward the heel.

Fibrox blades are made from Victorinox's proprietary high-carbon stainless steel, a tough, corrosion-resistant steel that is easy to sharpen.

Fibrox handles are made from durable TPE and textured for a secure grip.

Wash your knife by hand with warm water, soap, and a soft sponge or dish towel. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or moisture. Remember—there's no such thing as a dishwasher-safe knife!

To prevent edge chips, avoid impacts with hard surfaces. Don't chop bones, shells, or frozen food, and cut only on a wood or bamboo cutting board. Don't leave your knife where the edge might come in contact with something hard, such as in a sink or a drawer with other knives.

Store your knife so that the edge is protected from abrasion and impact. We recommend a magnetic stand, but you can also use a knife block with horizontal slots. If you must keep it in a drawer, use an edge protector. See our storage options here.

For best results, sharpen on a whetstone at an angle of 20-25° per side and finish at a grit of at least 1000. Pull-through and electric sharpeners should be avoided for high-quality knives.

Honing rods can be useful for maintaining German-style knives between sharpenings, but remember that honing is not a substitute for sharpening.

Alternatively, you can have your knives sharpened professionally. Seattle Cutlery offers a state-of-the-art, mail-in sharpening service for our own customers, but other services may be available to you locally.
