Victorinox Swiss Classic, Filleting Knife, Extra Sharp Blade, Straight Edge, 20 cm, Plastic Handle, Stainless Steel, Black

Great for the price. Very sharp out the box. True to description size. The handle is fairly comfortable and made of nice plastic.

Comes very sharp out the box. It’s Swiss made so no made in china junk. It’s not the most beautiful looking knife but if you want something that’s going to be a work horse and you don’t want to have to baby it, this it the knife for you.

If anyone else here has tried looking for kitchen knives online, a quick Google search will show lots of people recommending Victorinox's cheapest range of kitchen knives as great, sharp knives that are affordable to beginners and home-cooks, and yet still used by career chefs and professional kitchens (such as America's Test Kitchen). So, faced with a drawer full of slightly dulled knives, and annoyed that I can't finely cut a slice of lime without massacring it, I decided to try this chef's knife...I ordered the slightly smaller model than the standard chef's knife that seems to be recommended everywhere online, but it's still a chef's knife from the same range of fibrox-handled kitchen knives (just slightly smaller). Despite this, upon arrival the size is definitely large enough for pretty much all the situations you're going to use this knife for in the kitchen...Okay, I'll get to the point - how does it feel and how does it cut? Firstly, the fibrox handle feels great! The hand position is comfortable, the material of the handle feels pebbley, slightly grippy and definitely higher quality than the standard plastic knife handles you're used to. And IT CUTS GREAT! Testing the knife out on all sorts of things from carrots to apples, to herbs and to limes: it's just refreshing to have a properly sharp knife that cuts through all-manner of subjects with ease. Finally I can make those ultra-thin slices of lime too ;). With care and maintenance, I can definitely see this knife as being someone's 'main knife' for all their kitchen needs, as it seems to do everything you'd want it to do, much better than you're probably used to.Yes, I'm not a professional chef - but if you want their opinion, feel free to Google it and find their glowing reviews of Victorinox's fibrox kitchen knife range too. What I can definitely say is, this knife is very affordable for how premium it feels and how effortlessly well it performs, so if you're in the market for a kitchen knife in this kind of budget - stop looking, and just go with this one!

Great value quality piece of kitchenware

This is perfect for slicing bread no more wonky wedges very happy with it

Why did I wait forty years to get a decent knife? This arrived yesterday and I used it today, it goes through onions and carrots with such ease, I can actually chop rather than slice. It wasn't as good with parsnips but was still good enough and better than my old knife. It is a bit smaller and lighter than I expected, I'll probably buy a longer one later. It's well balanced and comfortable to use. I already had the paring and tomato knives which I love. I'm really pleased,I have Duypuytrens and I needed to protect my hands from strain.

Very sharp knife.Thank you

Very sharp and exactly what we needed for sushi making.
