Filete, solomillo, lomo, no importa el corte que elijas, nuestro cuchillo para carne es el compañero ideal al que recurrir. Con un ajuste perfecto a la palma de la mano, corta con gracia perpendicularmente las fibras de la carne, por lo que sólo te resta disfrutar el sabor. Ofrecemos dos tipos de cuchillo para bistec: de filo recto y de filo dentado. Los verdaderos conocedores de la carne prefieren el filo recto para no rasgar la carne.

El cuchillo para filetear
Para pescados impecables
Esta hoja es excepcionalmente precisa para el pescado. Con un cuerpo alargado, angosto y levemente en punta, es lo suficientemente flexible para sortear una gran cantidad de espinas con una agilidad excepcional. El resultado es un plato sin espinas, perfectamente fileteado, con una presentación hermosa. Ofrecemos dos tamaños de hoja: de 16 cm y de 20 cm. Aquí, la regla es elegir un cuchillo que sea aproximadamente 5 cm más grande que el pescado que fileteas. Esto significa que la hoja de 16 cm es más apta para pescados como trucha o caballa, mientras que la hoja de 20 cm es ideal para pescados medianos o grandes como el salmón o el bagre.
Nuestro consejo: La longitud y la hoja flexible de un cuchillo para filetear también lo convierten en una opción excelente para pelar naranjas.
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.
El cuchillo para verdura, el más pequeño en nuestra cocina, es muy versátil, ya que corta, rebana, pela, corta en dados y descorazona. Elige el filo dentado para frutas con pulpa suave, como kiwis o melocotones, para no magullar la pulpa. El filo recto es bueno para frutas cítricas y peras. También sirve para picar hierbas y preparar guarniciones. Ofrecemos tres tamaños de hoja: 6 cm, 8 cm y 10 cm, lo que te permite elegir la mejor hoja para la tarea a mano.
Nuestro consejo: La versión con la hoja más redondeada es buena para descorazonar manzanas o sacar ojos de papas. La punta centrada es ideal para cortar de manera muy precisa cosas como fondant, para que puedas mejorar tus habilidades para decorar pasteles.
El éxito de esta hoja pequeña radica en su contorno curvo. Un filo dentado superfiloso permite realizar cortes complejos en las superficies más delicadas. Rebana tomates sin aplastar sus delicados centros. Corte chipolatas, salami y salchichas especiales sin arruinar su forma impecable y precisa. Te preguntarás cómo hiciste para vivir sin él.
Nuestro consejo: El filo dentado de esta hoja también es ideal para untar mantequilla o mermelada sobre pan recién horneado.
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.
