Victorinox 125th Anniversary Limited Edition 8-Inch Chef's Knife

Product Description

For 125-Year Victorinox cutlery has been an expression of the Victorinox philosophy: flawless quality combined with great reliability. This limited edition 8-inch Chef knife is produced in celebration of their 125th Anniversary with the blade etched with the words: 125-Years your companion for life. The Victorinox 8-inch Chef knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

Customer Reviews

Great knife... bad product description4
I bought this knife instead of the other Victorinox 8" chef's knife (Victorinox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Black Fibrox Handle) because this one is advertised in the Amazon product description as being a forged knife, and it's not (Same with the 7" granton-edge santoku advertised as 125th anniversary- buy the regular one!). The linked knife is the exact same (except for the special-edition "jubilee etching" on this one) knife, but cheaper right now. Go by the description of the other knife and buy whichever one is cheaper. It is an awesome knife though! The weight is great and it feels very balanced, the blade is very straight and high-quality. Super sharp right out of the packaging. Some people complain about that the fibrox handles look or feel cheap, of course they're not the most expensive looking but they don't look cheap to me. I have seen and felt much lower quality handles as well as more expensive, high quality handles and I have no problem with fibrox, I like it a lot actually. This knife is 2" wide at the base so make sure you have a long slot for it in your knife block. So the only reason I gave this knife 4 instead of 5 stars is for the misleading product description, which thinking back is probably my fault for not realizing right away that Victorinox wouldn't put the fibrox handle on a forged knife, but oh well, I guess I'm out 5 bucks but this knife is worth it.

The best chefs knife!5
I bought three Victorinox knives based on a recommendation from "Cooks Illustrated" magazine. I am so pleased! I got the 3" and 4" utility knives plus the chefs knife. All three are the best of their kind I have ever used, and I have always considered myself a bit of a knife snob. The polypropylene handles are very comfortable and non-slip, and the blades are just right. They are really sharp and they stay sharp. The chefs knife is perfectly balanced and such a pleasure to use. And the best part of all, they are so affordable. You deserve these knives!
