Know before you buy
The wavy serrated edge is designed to grip the surface of ingredients, allowing you to slice through tough skins or crusty exteriors without crushing the softer interior. It is particularly effective for items like crusty bread, tomatoes, or citrus.
The Fibrox handle is made from a durable, non-slip nylon that is NSF-approved and easy to clean. The rosewood handle offers a more traditional, aesthetic feel but requires more care, such as hand washing and occasional oiling, to maintain its condition.
Yes, a 7.5-inch blade is a versatile mid-size length that provides enough reach for chopping vegetables and slicing proteins while remaining maneuverable enough for more precise tasks.
Because this knife features a wavy serrated edge, it cannot be sharpened with a standard flat honing steel or whetstone. You will need a specialized serrated knife sharpener or a professional service to maintain the edge's performance over time.
Yes, all Victorinox knives of this type are crafted in Switzerland, adhering to the brand's long-standing standards for quality and precision engineering.
