## Description

A TRUSTED FAVORITEAn elegant addition to any kitchen, the 12" Victorinox Rosewood Chef's Knife can handle nearly every kitchen task imaginable. Crafted with a comfortable handle, superior weight and balance, and a razor sharp edge that rarely requires re-sharpening, this knife is an essential tool for every kitchen.KEY FEATURES High-quality, lightweight European steel. Handle design reduces hand and wrist fatigue. Fit for dicing, mincing, chopping, slicing, and shredding. Long, sloping curved blade that “rocks” for effortless mincing and chopping. Flat spine for extra power to slice through hard-skinned items. Hand polished rosewood handle for a secure and comfortable grip no matter the hand size. Dishwasher safe & easy to sharpen. CARE AND USEBe good to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following these simple guidelines will ensure that you get the longest life out of your knife! CLEANINGVictorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately. While Fibrox Pro knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing as dishwashers are designed to spray water at a relatively high pressure, which can jostle the silverware and cause the knives to collide, dulling the edge.SHARPENINGFor optimum performance, knives should be honed after every couple of uses. Proper and frequent use of a honing steel will keep your knives sharper and performing at their best.FORMERLY FORSCHNERIn 1937 Victorinox began selling cutlery in America through a Connecticut distributor called R.H. Forschner & Co. A well-known manufacturer of butcher scales, Forschner soon became the exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinox knives, and was the name by which Victorinox knives were known.

Review: Just what I needed - Good size, very usable, Victorinox quality blade. My favorite and most used knife.
Review: If you do any regular cooking, you need a good knife. - The title goes without saying. But I've been fooling around in the kitchen for over 15 years and always used cheap knives thinking, "What's the diff? If it's sharp.. it's sharp." I always knew one day I'd need to get a good knife and wanted a Shen for awhile until a professional chef told me she felt they were too brittle. I looked for a Forschner because my old man was a butcher for over 35 years and told me, "Once you've reached the level of Forschner (outfitted with what is now known as the Fibrox handle) you've passed the point of diminishing returns in a knife." Victorinox had long produced kitchen cutlery under their own name along with the Forschner name but in 2011 Victorinox discontinued Forschner and now only produces the (same knives with) the Victorinox name. So we know we need a good knife. We don't want (or if you do your research don't need) to spend a lot of money on one. We want it to be a quality piece that will last. After getting this knife I can tell you there is a HUGE difference in simply how the blade performs through the cut as compared to a cheap piece. After this beaut I'll never go back to a crap blade. I was so impressed I sliced some romas by merely holding the rosewood handle between my thumb and index finger putting zero pressure on the blade and drawing the knife towards me. This is right out of the package without any sharpening or steeling. Absolutely impressive. One thing I didn't see mentioned from other users is to consider how much downforce you will need to apply to a given knife while in use. Personally, I like a bigger knife because it's slightly heavier and thus requires less force while cutting. What someone else said about the most dangerous tool in a kitchen was right, my old man said the same thing. A dull knife is way more dangerous than the sharpest of the sharp ones in the block. For the person reading this who doubts me, buy a crappy 3 dollar knife sharpener and run your cheap blade through it 10-15 times. The difference you notice? Imagine a performance increase of at least three times that with a high quality blade like this Victorinox. Something I didn't realise until after I ordered this was that I didn't have a steel to draw and set the blade. If you're spending the money on a good knife, get a good steel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dang it's so cool!!!
*by T***T on May 21, 2020*

I have a nice set of knives my wife got for me in the 80's. Henckels with Rosewood handles. Can't get them any more. I wanted to add a larger 10" chef knife to the mix because I chop a lot of veggies. I saw this and the pricepoint was good for an experiment. On opening - IT'S HUGE!!! But I love it. I have an 18 x 24 cutting board and this thing uses all of it. Much nicer. One of the things that I noticed right away was the difference the thickness of the blade makes. It's very thin so it feels like it really cuts differently. My other knives sometimes felt as though you were driving a wedge and cleaving what you were cutting. It's my go to knife even for cutting garlic!
