Victorinox Swiss Classic Foldable Paring Knife, Wavy Edge Black 4.3 in

We recently did a 10 day northern CA coast road trip vacation through the Redwoods. We packed a small cutting board and put this knife in our checked luggage (TSA will confiscate it if you try to carry it on board). Upon arrival in Oakland we stopped at the grocery store and picked up some apples, avocados and bananas and a jar of peanut butter and away we went. Every day of our magical journey, and on many hikes through ancient old growth forests we paused along rivers and in the woods for a lunch snack. This knife was perfect, very lightweight, yet incredibly sturdy, nice and sharp with a fine serrated blade. Loved that it has a "locking" folding mechanism and cleaned up easily. Probably one the most useful travel items we had on the trip in all honesty. Would be great for making and cutting sandwiches too, although we don't eat bread ourselves. It sliced through big apples with ease. Highly recommend!

You read the title, made in Switzerland, not China. This folding knife is a steal at this price. Is it the most beautiful knife ever made? No, of course not, not by a long shot. It has a plastic handle and a round tip that makes it look like a butterknife. But you know what is does exceedingly well? It cuts steaks like nobody’s business. This serrated Swiss-made knife is super sharp. I own a couple of Victorinox knives, mainly my bread knife and large all purpose knife. Victorinox are high quality knives. Well, this little folding one is perfect for my personal steak knife. I just bought one to test it out. I will definitely get a few more to make a set out of it for the rest of the family and guests. Don’t think about it: BUY IT!!!

Very light, very sharp, easy to use mechanism for a good price. Rock on!

Awesome knife I keep around for cutting my apples or other fruits. Was looking for something I can fold and keep in my bag, this is the perfect knife for that. It came plenty shaper and looks to be durable for many years of use

A light weight paring/steak knife. Not made for hard or daily use. I find it handy to carry. It's 5 inches in length closed. A liner lock that's easy to operated. Wish a soft case was included. In my opinion, a good value. I bought a second for a friend.

Victorinox steel is great, and the this knife is no exception. It is sharp right out of the box, and maintains its sharpness for a long time. It is ideal for cutting sandwiches, bread and pastries, but also works well with tomatoes and other vegetables. It cuts easily without smashing the bread. Relatively inexpensive (some sources and colors are cheaper than others) and a great addition for a knife on the go, or in your lunchbox, or for camping. I bought several for about $20 to $21 each. Now a little higher. If you don't need or want the folding feature, there is a non-folding version for about half the price.

In the past when staying in a hotel I would want a knife for cutting food and the only thing the hotel would have available was a cheap plastic knife that breaks when you use it. I now keep this knife in my travel bag, and it works great. It's safe in my bag as it is folded with the sharp edge protected. The blade is made of a good stainless steel that is very sharp.

Wow, have a couple Victorinox knives. But never thought about them as a steak knife until now. They fold up and snap into it. Opening the knife snaps in place solid like it is a full tang knife. No play at all. And closing it will snap back into handle solid. Sharper than any steak knife I have ever had. Considering ordering five more. They're not beautiful, but not ugly. Picture for comparison. I originally bought one for dining out because resturant steak knives sometimes just don't cut it. Yes pun intended. Lol. If this knife doesn't. Pay the tab and go somewhere else. Surprised when open how solid it is. Like I said, feels like a full tang knife.

This is unquestionably the best picnic knife I've ever had. It is a decent size, very sharp and extremely safe as the blade locks in place. It's an essential part of my picnic kit. Now I'm retired, I often just get on a bus and go where the fancy takes me. I don't take any food with me (as it can get messy in my day bag). Instead, I have a small picnic kit comprising this knife, a spork, a few sheets of kitchen paper and a bottle of hand gel. I can then buy whatever I fancy when I get where I'm going. A good knife is absolutely essential. A picnic knife needs to fulfil two specific functions: (i) it must cut bread, meat and fruit/veg and (ii) spread butter, cheese spread, mayonnaise etc. To do both of these, the blade needs to be sharp and have a rounded end. It must also be easy to clean. The rounded tip of the 10 cm blade makes it ideal for spreading and the sharpened edge of the blade is serrated and extremely sharp for cutting soft bread and hard cheese. The plastic handle offers a good grip and is large enough to grip securely. Before buying this knife, I always carried an Opinel #7 (i.e. 7 cm blade) scout knife in my picnic kit. This knife will replace it for the simple reason that, being made of plastic and stainless steel, it can be washed in the dishwasher when I get home. The Opinel, having a wooden handle and carbon steel blade, needs to be kept dry. Now, regarding the legality. (This bit was generated by AI) Key points about carrying locking blade knives in the UK Legality: It is illegal to carry a locking blade knife in a public place without a good reason. Definition of a lock knife: A lock knife is not a folding pocket knife; its blade locks into place when fully extended and can only be closed by releasing the locking mechanism. "Good reason": This is subject to interpretation by law enforcement and a court. Examples of good reasons include: * Carrying a work knife for your job. * Transporting a knife for a religious purpose, such as a Sikh kirpan. * Carrying a knife for use in theatre, film, or historical reenactment. The list of good reasons given in the law is not exclusive. I carry mine in a closed plastic box in my backpack which contains my picnic kit. I'm hoping two things: (i) I never get searched by the police while carrying it. (I've never even been stopped by a police officer in my 74 years on Earth.) (ii) a jury would see that being in a picnic kit and used only for that purpose would constitute a "good reason." This is a wonderful addition to my picnic kit and I highly recommend it.

Świetny nóż, bardzo ostry, wymaga trochę wprawy i siły przy zamykaniu ale jak już wiadomo jak to działa przestaje to być problemem. Używany do owoców i kanapek, sprawdza się bardzo dobrze.

En sintonía con el rojo con filo liso que también he comprado, y del cual también he opinado. Un muy práctico cuchillo, el más típico de mesa con punta roma (mejor para untar, y también mucho menos intimidante si también se prefiere) pero plegable. Esta vez, con filo serrado (o perlado, que también le dice la marca), más apropiado para cortar alimentos que pueden embotar antes un buen filo liso, como pan, o la piel de algunos frutos como el tomate. Pero como ya he opinado sobre el de filo liso, a mí también me parece una alternativa más civilizada a muchas navajas, siempre que sea sobre todo para comer , y si acaso tener que cortar (nada de forcejear, sólo, cortar) pues algún cordel, un sobre rebelde de abrirse, algún precinto, blister y cartón... cosas para las que tampoco necesitamos contar con una punta afilada. Pero sí contamos en este invento un tamaño más adecuado para comer, merendar, o cortar más cómodamente alguna fruta u hortaliza. Vamos, que sin olvidar su enfoque principal, lo veo muy polivalente y más seguro para situaciones más civilizadas, que una navaja de similar longitud de hoja. A pesar de que estamos a priori al límite de legalidad para el porte en España, pues tiene literalmente 11 cm de hoja (unos 10 cm son de filo útil). De hecho he comprado uno de estos con filo serrado, precisamente para un uso más despreocupado si un día es el que llevo pero surge tener que usarlo como herramienta de corte. Los filos serrados de Victorinox cortan muchísimo, y a la vez es de los más sencillos y agradecidos de reafilar llegado el momento. Mientras que a su vez por ser serrados, aguantan mejor el afilado en el tiempo cortando según qué cosas que un filo liso. Cerrado mide lo que el mango, unos 13 cm. Bastante ergonómico y seguro de usar. También tiene pinta de ser muy duradero. Por contra no es voluminoso y es muy ligero. Vamos, que no da la sensación ni a la vista de "cuchillaco" que sí dan otros cuchillos de mismo largo de hoja, o incluso navajas que parecen ser más grandes aunque sean realmente tengan hojas 3-5 cm más cortas que la de este civilizado cuchillo plegable. Me parece que han logrado en Victorinox con estos cuchillos plegables unos elementos más polivalentes en el día a día y más en según qué ambientes, de lo que sugiere su innegable enfoque: el de la comida, un "pic-nic". El cual salta a la vista que lo cumplen con más que solvencia. Al final del recorrido de plegado de la hoja, tienen una posición de parada con cierta resistencia. Aunque es complicado que suceda, pero procurad no tener en ese momento ningún dedo bajo el filo (¡mientras vais empujando la hoja durante el mayor recorrido de plegado, que es sin muelle, tampoco!) Que tras vencer ese punto de resistencia sí será un muelle el que termine de meter la hoja en el mango, tirando de ella. Es el mismo muelle que retiene la hoja mientras está plegada para evitar sustos por aberturas parciales y accidentales. Estos cuchillitos plegables son una chulada, la verdad. Me han gustado. ☺️

Buena calidad y practicidad por tenerlo a la mano.
