A key investment for any busy kitchen, this hardworking utility knife can handle chopping, dicing and slicing of all kinds. This knife takes on not just fruit and vegetables but can also tackle meat like a pro. From the fine slicing of herbs to carving your roast, the Office Knife is compact yet chef-level capable and is a true all-rounder.
Our tip: Leaving home and setting up your own kitchen for the first time? This is the knife you should start with.
Fillet, rump, sirloin or onglet, whichever cut you choose, our Steak Knife is its ultimate go-to partner. Fitting neatly into the palm of your hand, it gracefully glides against the grain, leaving you to savor the flavor. We offer two types of steak knife: straight edge and wavy edge. True meat connoisseurs prefer the straight edge, so as not to tear the meat. The wavy edge makes the knife more of an allrounder however – it’s also ideal for slicing pizza.
Our tip: The wavy edge blades can handle not only steak and pizza with ease, but also pastries, pies and quiches too.
This blade is exceptionally on point for fish. Long, lean and slightly tapered, it is flexible enough to negotiate a myriad of fish bones with A-game agility. The result is a clean, perfectly filleted dish that looks beautifully presented on the plate. We offer two blade sizes, 16 cm and 20 cm. The rule here is to choose a knife that is approximately 5 cm larger than the fish you are filleting. This means the 16 cm blade is better suited to trout or mackerel, while the 20 cm blade is ideal for medium to large fish like salmon or catfish.
Our tip: The length and flexible blade of a Filleting Knife also make it an excellent choice for peeling an orange.
The fluted edge and straighter blade make the Santoku Knife a trusted kitchen all-rounder. The flutes ensure that food doesn’t stick to the blade when cutting, making slicing anything from meat, fish, vegetables to fruit feel effortless. The straight edge blade is suitable for chopping, slicing and dicing, helping you to cut more precisely but with ease.
Our tip: We offer this knife both with and without fluted blade. While the non-fluted blade might make long-term sharpening easier, we recommend the fluted edge, for the ease and precision it gives to any slicing task.
Freshly baked granary bread with salted butter, ciabatta with balsamic and extra virgin olive oil, sourdough rye with ham and cheese: bread has so many delicious guises. So, investing in a knife that knows how to tackle your daily loaf is key. Built to last, our Bread Knives slice adeptly through thick crusts, thanks to the wavy edge blade. For those who need help cutting the perfect slice, the Dux knife has an adjustable guide to help you slice bread or even salami or cucumber.
Our tip: Baked goods are this blade’s domain but try it on a pumpkin and you’ll be in expert hands.
El cuchillo para trinchar es otro caballo de batalla de la cocina que puede enfrentarse prácticamente a todo lo que aterrice en tu tabla de corte. Es ideal para trozos más compactos como gallinas de Guinea, polluelos o patos. Para cortes de carne más grandes, recomendamos una hoja extra ancha. Las hojas más grandes también son ideales para cortar con precisión carpaccio, por ejemplo. El cuchillo para trinchar también es apto para manipular todo tipo de fruta y verdura, lo que lo convierte en otro imprescindible. Al tener un mango ergonómico, es muy fácil de usar y el filo recto corta con una precisión impresionante.
Nuestro consejo: Puede haberse llevado los laureles gastronómicos por su destreza para trinchar carne, pero esta hoja habilidosa es igualmente apta para cortar frutas suaves y verdura. ¿Por qué no probarlo en una piña?
Fusing exceptional balance with a smart structure, this knife is strong and can hit the culinary ground running. It excels at carving larger-scale joints such as rump of beef, shoulder of lamb or turkey thanks to its extra-wide blade, which helps you cut through big pieces of meat with ease. For some restaurant-style theater, use it to carve on a beautiful chopping board centerpiece at the table.
Our tip: The best things don’t always come in small packages. Extra width lends this blade precision and power. If you really want effortless slicing, take the fluted edge version of this blade.
Since our expertise at Victorinox is tool combination, our Bread and Pastry Knife has been designed to take care of all your baked-goods-related jobs in the kitchen. Not only can the wavy edge blade cut bread, cakes and pastries with ease, it can also function as a spatula to spread buttercream or icing onto your baked delights. A great advantage is the special shape of the blade, which naturally follows your hand movement as you cut and makes every cutting task easier. We also offer a longer, 26 cm version which is designed specifically for tackling larger pastries or cakes.
Our tip: So, at home in the pastry kitchen, it’s equally as skilled at handling bread and harder-skinned fruits or vegetables like watermelon.
