Victorinox 12 Inch Fibrox Pro Slicing Knife with Granton Blade

A lightweight, easy to grip, well-balanced slicing knife. The edge is superb and has thus far been simple to maintain; a few passes through a fixed, double edged, ceramic sharpener and 8 or 10 strokes on a steel and the edge is actually sharper than when I removed it from the box! This knife makes it very simple to slice brisket, steaks of any cut, tri-tips, roast beef, ham or turkey. You must have one for your kitchen.

This knife is a high quality product. Its a great investment with a reasonable price. Got one for everybody on my Christmas list.

The knife arrived in an oversized clear plastic sleeve, which is not really great for storage exactly...so, that detail I need to work out. But that is not really a knife critique. This knife came out of the package sharp as a razor. The handle is textured, and I think that it allows for a secure grip even with wet or slippery hands. The handle may be a bit short, but that is a nitpick thing that I do not think is of any real concern. The blade is thin, and I used it twice immediately to see how well it cut: First, to cut cooked strip steaks for presentation (I wanted to see how well this thing sliced). Like a hot knife through butter (no pun really intended, but it is an opportunistic metaphor). Second, to open a two-bone rib roast vacuum bag, and slice the rib roast into two (gigantic) steaks. The plastic bags I use for vacuum packing/freezing are pretty thick, and while not really that difficult to cut open, if your knife is not optimum sharp, you need to have a little bit of tension on the bag to get it to cut. With this knife, I had no issues. I had decided to butcher the rib roast (by cutting it in half) anyway, and this thin blade was the perfect tool. Two perfect steaks, and I could tell that this was a definite purpose slicing blade...I could tell that this was a thin blade design, and really sharp. I purchased this to cut brisket. I am smoking a brisket today, and I fully expect perfect slices with this knife. This brand came highly recommended, and I think that I agree. Hoping that the edge stays sharp... I am looking at a butcher essentials set from Victorinox, as well...might as well get some real tools that are right for the job.

Flawlessly sliced brisket and any other thick cuts I’ve asked it to. Very satisfied, sharp, balanced, easy to handle

Ive used this knife for 5+ years and still as good as day purchased. My son asked for one as hes seen me using it to slice ham at Christmas so this was purchased as a gift.

Takes and holds a remarkable sharp edge. Slices any meat I have tried it on, cuts bread cleanly, is well balanced, handle is comfortable and easy to grip, ... I could go on and on. Its shape makes it a knife exclusively for slicing, but it is the best knife I have ever used for that job. It is worth every penny and more.

Exactly what we expected

I have bought this knife for every one of my four kids families. We all like it. Great for roasts but especially great for cutting cakes and pizzas.

It slices like a dream. Very easy to handle

Great addition to my knives. Made pork loin tips and it sliced them thin enough for sandwiches for days. I love this knife.
