Victorinox 12 Inch Fibrox Pro Slicing Knife with Granton Blade

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.

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.

Great knife

I use this knife primarily for slicing brisket, although it’s great for carving any meat. It is inexpensive, but I don’t think you can get a better knife for this application at any price. Proof that more money doesn’t necessarily equal a better product. I highly recommend it.

This is the sharpest dang knife that I own! This knife sliced through a 15-pound brisket like butter and allowed me to cut it as thin or as thick as I wanted. Definitely recommend buying, if youre looking for a good, sharp knife for your kitchen work.

This knife made slicing brisket so much easier than a standard butcher’s knife. It was reasonably priced as well. I have had zero problems and have been impressed after slicing several briskets, ribs and hams.

Its amazing what a difference it makes when you use the correct knife to carve a roast. The knives I had been using in the past did not allow me to cut thin slices of beef roast with ease. This one does! An excellent addition to my set of kitchen knives, and at a reasonable price as well.

Extremely sharp and very easy to control well. I make a lot of tri-tip and this is perfect for slicing through it. Ive not had to sharpen it yet so I cant speak to that, but all in all I am very happen with the blade.

This is a superior quality product. It does an outstanding job slicing meats - roasts - etc. very thin. Smooth action. Finally a decent carving knife.

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.
