A trusted favorite preferred by both home chefs and culinary professionals, the 5" Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife can handle nearly every kitchen task imaginable.

Review: Very Versatile Knife, Can be used as Prep, Mini-Chef, or Steak Knife - I was on a Victorinox knife bender, and bought a bunch of different Victorinox knives, including 10", 8", 6" and 5" chef's knives, boning, bucher, bar, paring, and other styles. Actually, out of all the sizes and styles I purchased, my favorite Victorinox is this 5" chef's knife. It's actually more like a slightly larger prep knife, or paring knife... which it works great as. However, my goto use for the 5" chef's knife is a steak knife. It is by far the best steak knife I use. Pros: It's has a bigger handle allowing for a solid grip, it's non-serrated so the meat has clean cuts, the knife blade is larger and very sharp so it can cut very thick steaks easily, and it keeps a sharp edge well. Also, being a bit larger blade, honing and sharpening is easier. The only con I can think of is that it's somewhat expensive for a steak knife. However, if you can catch it on sale for $15 or so, it's well worth it especially if you love steaks. That said, it's also a good size for a utility, prep, or large paring knife. At that price you should get a few since it does have multi-uses.
Review: My favorite knife - This has become my "go to" knife. It sharpens well and stays sharp; it can handle doing very thin slices, or heavy cutting. It feels good in the hand, it is NSF rated, and the handle's texture keeps it from becoming slippery. It is everything my 8 inch chef's knife is, in a smaller package.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The 10-inche, it is just the blade, o with the handle??   what is 10 inches measured front to??**
A: Knife measurements refer to the blade.  These reviews and question answer sections usually encompass multiple iterations of the same knife, as such you should filter the results to only the product you're viewing to get the most germane information.  Owning the 10" Fibrox, the knife is not too large, if anything it's about perfect and would due the same tasks a 8" chefs knife can, but also provides longer blade for more smooth cuts to larger food items, like slicing steaks, roasts, etc.  I'm 5'7" male, to put the knife-person ratio into context.

**Q: What's the tang situation with the Victorinox?  I'd like to know if the metal goes all the way to the base of the handle.**
A: No, about 3/4's of the way.  With this handle type, full tang is not important.

**Q: what angle is the blade for sharpening? 15 degrees or   20 degrees?**
A: From what I could roughly measure (caliper and trigonometry), the original edge relief ("back bevel") is around 14 degrees in mine, and the blade is quite thin already at the start of the relief (0.44mm), so it is easy to go without a bevel+back bevel and sharpen at 15. You can however work with a microbevel at 20, quickly retouching between resharpenings.

**Q: Is this made in china?**
A: From the description:  Trusted Swiss quality. Expertly crafted in Switzerland in 1884, Victorinox provides a lifetime against defects in material and workmanship. Making a Lifetime commitment has never been so easy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite knife
*by L***L on January 1, 2026*

This has become my "go to" knife. It sharpens well and stays sharp; it can handle doing very thin slices, or heavy cutting. It feels good in the hand, it is NSF rated, and the handle's texture keeps it from becoming slippery. It is everything my 8 inch chef's knife is, in a smaller package.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great way to try Victorinox/Forschner.
*by H***N on June 5, 2014*

***About Victorinox Knives in General*** For those who are completely new to the Victorinox (formerly Forschner) brand of knives, it's like this: These knives are NOT super high-end knives intended to impress cutlery snobs. They're workhorses that perform nearly as well as - and, depending on the knife - as well or better than high-end forged instruments costing three times as much. No joke. Q: Will they look as good as my super expensive Japanese or German knives? A: No. They will not. They're really simple-looking. Some might even say that they look crappy. Your high-end Japanese or German cutlery will absolutely shame Victorinox Forschner knives in terms of appearance. Q: Will they perform as well as my super expensive Japanese or German knives? A: Maybe. If not, it will be a very close race. Think 80%-100% of the performance at 30% of the cost. Additionally, the Victorinox knives - because they're not forged - are very light. (My mom has arthritis and I got her a bunch of Victorinox knives after trying them myself. She LOVES them, and experiences much less fatigue than she did with her previous knives, which were 15 year-old Henckels.) Q: Will they perform better than my KitchenAid, Cuisinart, or other knives that came in a set costing $30-$100? A: Those knives will run in terror from Victorinox Forschner knives. You will find yourself using far less muscle when slicing things with Victorinox Forschner knives, if you're used to a crappy $50 box set. Q: What's the deal with the handle? Fibrox? What's that? A: Fibrox is Victorinox' name for a specially-textured handle material, which I'm pretty sure is just a proprietary plastic compound. This is going to sound weird, but Fibrox kind of has the texture of a cat's tongue... meaning it's a little rough. The weird thing about Fibrox - and the one reason - aside from durability and cutting performance - that so many line cooks rely on these, is the fact that they do NOT become slippery when the knife or your hands are damp. (Again, my aging mom loves that about these knives. She routinely cuts with wet hands, so she feels that these are safer than her Henckels.) Q: So... what's the difference between the Victorinox Fibrox knives and the Victorinox Swiss Classic knives? A: The only difference is the handle; the blades are identical, from what I've seen. (I have Fibrox-handled knives, and we bought my mother-in-law Swiss Classics.) I recommend Fibrox, to be honest. The Swiss Classic handles are good, but they are not quite as grippy-when-wet as the Fibrox knives, so I like the Fibrox ones for the extra margin of safety. That said, you'll find that the Swiss Classic knives are more likely to come as a set, which can save you a little money over buying individually. Q: What about durability? Some people are saying they don't hold an edge. A: In my own experience, they hold an edge commendably well. Put it this way: My wife and I cook dinner 4-5 times per week, and on top of that, these knives also get the brunt of our general, daily use (cutting bread, etc.). We mainly spread this workload across just *three* Victorinox Fibrox knives, and we've had these knives for just under a year. During that time, I've had to run them over a honing steel (also a Victorinox item) just twice, and after honing, they are good as new. I'm sure that eventually, they'll need professional sharpening, but it's been almost a year, and I can imagine going another year before they really need professional work... and even then, they might be okay with just a honing steel. ***About THIS Knife*** Okay, so *this* knife is a bit odd. It has a full-sized handle (pretty much the same as the rest of the Fibrox line), but the blade is a chef's knife blade that looks like it got hit with a shrink ray. To be perfectly honest, I find that this knife gets WAY more use than our chef's knife; it seems like for 70% of kitchen tasks, this is *just enough* knife. Actually, I really like it's middle-of-the-road size, and I HIGHLY recommend it as a first Victorinox knife, for someone who just wants to "see what's so great about" them. In a sense, it's a "gateway" knife. You can get a feel for the brand, their handles, and their blades, and then make your future buying decisions with your experience in mind... and if you hate it... then it's not like you're out a ton of money.
