I originally gave this product 4 starts, but 4 years later I’m updating this to 5 stars. I have both the Wusthof classic and the Bob Kramer chef’s knives, but time and time again I reach for this Victorinox one instead. Why? It’s simple, lightweight, and easy to use. I can throw it in the dishwasher after cutting raw meat and not worry about the knife rusting or damaging the handle material. I’m a Microbiologist by profession and I actually bought another one of these so I can use one for raw meat if needed. The Wusthof is heavier and after using it for multiple meal preps my hand would get tired. I use these 2 Victorinox knives for 99% of my everyday cooking needs. If I could do it over again, I would only buy these and save the $$$.

For starters I'm not a professional chef, but I love quality products with a great value and that is why I wanted to review this product.
I bought this last August after watching America's Test Kitchen's knife set video. I bought this as a replacement primary chef's knife to replace a set of 4 stainless steel knives (Wolfgang Puck I believe and not the best knives around) that have gone dull. The knife is great and sharp right out of the box, but it does feel a bit light in comparison the the European full tang knives. It's great and agile, but at the same time it lacks a bit of weight when cutting something big like a watermelon or a butternut squash. I actually loved this knife until I bought a butternut squash to cut. It did the job but wasn't with ease. I did not end up removing my old dull set and just ended up buying a knife sharpener to see if that helps, because that European styled chef's knife had a good weight and length (9" instead of 8") to cut thing like the butternut squash or watermelon. Another downside is that this knife feels thinner than my old set. I'm assuming it's because this blade is made at a 15 degree angle and the old European chef's knife was made at a 20 degree angle. The 15 degree angle offers a sharper knife but it also makes it more prone to dents. I already see little tears along the sharp end of the blade, but I'm sure that is fixable with a good knife sharpener. I wonder if the 10" version of this knife would work better for watermelon and veggies with larger surface areas. Another thing is I was taught to fast tap chop your garlic and ginger to mince it by my Chinese mother. This knife just doesn't have the weight for that in comparison to a full tang chef's knife (I wonder if the Victorinox Santoku would be better for that purpose).
I think this knife is of great value and quality and recommend it to anyone looking for a good chef's knife. I actually would recommend the set of 4 knives from Victorinox Victorinox 4-Piece Knife Set with Fibrox Handles for anyone that has a child going away to college or starting a new home. It is a good starter collection that has the essentials (at least a 10 inch bread knife, an 8 inch chef's knife, and a small pairing knife) to fulfills 99% of home cooking needs. I also read a good review on the 5" mini chef knife from Victorinox. The reviewer purchased the 10" version of this and the 7" Victorinox Santoku along with the 5" mini. That was a good review and I suggest others read that review as well to see if those 3 knives together would work better for your needs.
I know a great chef who once told me that you don't need the best knife for daily cooking but you have to hold the knife in your hand to judge if it's comfortable and to know how to sharpen/maintain a knife.
If you enjoy cooking and have never considered purchasing a knife that isn't made in China, you should consider this one. The steel used in Chinese stainless steel blades is the lowest quality steel available. It is easy to sharpen, but it loses its edge quickly and often requires precision sharpening, which can't be done with those knife-sharpening gadgets you can buy today. If you don't know how to sharpen a blade expertly, it's best to practice on a cheap Chinese steel knife before moving on to a more expensive one. You're bound to ruin the cheap blade in your quest to acquire a new skill—that's how worthless Chinese steel knives can often be.
Gone are the days when a good knife was something passed down from generation to generation. Cheap, easily-blunted knives are not a suitable replacement. However, who wants to spend $250 on one knife just to make cutting carrots a bit easier? Knives are a strange thing; ubiquitous, yet treated like a luxury. But let's face it, we as frugal chefs were either going to throw away the one we had when we couldn't chop a potato with it, or we'd keep it for so long that we ended up cutting off our ring finger.
If you're serious about cooking and want to avoid such mishaps, invest in this knife. It's worth every penny. And trust me, you'll never regret it. Unless you're looking at the pile of cheap knives you used to own, in which case, you'll probably shake your head in disgust. But hey, at least you'll have a good knife now.

I also own the 6” and the 10” versions. The 6” does not have a deep enough blade and your knuckles will hit the cutting board a lot. The 10” is just about the same as the 8” shape wise just 2” longer. Perfect for cutting things like pineapple, watermelon or carving nice big slices off a turkey. I can only imagine how absurd the 12” must be give the enormity of the 10”. The 7” santoku seems interesting and I will probably purchase soon.
This very sharp knife is a fantastic exception and I will be looking to buy more of this brand.
Swiss knife is lighter. I am not sure which is good but a lighter knife has its benefits so do the knife made my Japs.
