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.

I already own the victorinox chefs set which came with the 10 in version of this knife. The 10 inch is a great knife, but a bit unwieldy for most of my home purposes. So back on amazon to buy the 8 in version. I bought this anniversary edition solely because the price was $5 less than their regular version. I am so glad I bought it! It works much better for me, is very sharp right out of the box and I like the anniversary logo laser printed on the blade. If you are on the fence about trying the victorinox line of knives, dont hesitate! I also own the Victorinix Santoku knife and it is my favorite. The blade is thinner than the chefs knife, which gives me more control with thin slices, weighs less and the handle is smaller. But every kitchen needs a chefs knife for the bigger jobs.

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!

I got my first Victorinox Swiss Army knife nearly 20 years ago and still use it almost every day today. It’s never gone dull, rusted or been broken. I’ve only lost the tweezers once after someone borrowed it. My expectations are pretty high for Victorinox and Wenger products.
This kitchen knife is a stamped steel and not the forged steel version but it is a great work horse of a chef’s knife. Light enough so it doesn’t tire you out and sharp enough for everything. The 125th Anniversary 8″ Chef’s Knife is a good size and the blade is superb. The blade has the polished finish like the famous pocket knives. The handle is what they call Fibrox, it’s a fine sand paper feeling with a hard handle. It’s a smaller handle but allows good control because it’s isn’t bulky. The blade is sharp, very sharp and cuts great. It is not serrated and makes no difference, I don’t expect this blade should ever be dull and can easily be resharpened.
I was planning on buying a Victorinox or Wuthoff forged knife set but after using the stamped Fibrox knives I will probably mix and match my kitchen knives set with various forged and stamped knives now and save some money. I’ll be sticking with Wuthoff, Victorinox, Shun and Hattori
