Victorinox Fibrox Pro 5-inch Serrated Mini Chef’s Knife

The Victorinox Fibrox Pro 5-inch serrated mini chef’s knife is narrow, similar to a utility knife, with an upward angle to the handle for better knuckle clearance. The blade is comparable to a salami knife.

It is good for tomatoes and cheese, and for any time you want the long-lasting bite of a serrated edge. The serrations catch the skin of a tomato or the rind of a salami and saw through without crushing, and the angled handle keeps the fingers off the board.

Draw the knife back and forth with light pressure and let the serrations do the work. Pressing down on soft food defeats the purpose of the teeth.

For a straight edge in the same shape, see the Fibrox Pro 5-inch Mini Chef’s Knife. For more length, the Fibrox Pro 7.5-inch Serrated Chef’s Knife carries the same serrated edge. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide compares small knives.

    Choosing a Handle

    Victorinox fits the same Swiss blades to several handles, so a shape you like can be chosen in the grip that suits your work.

    Hardwood (formerly Rosewood)Modified maple stained in the traditional rosewood colorHand wash onlyButchers and cooks who prefer the feel and look of a wood handle

    Keeping the Edge

    Serrated and wavy edges are not maintained on a honing steel. The points of the serrations carry the cut, so the knife keeps its bite for a long time; when it finally dulls, have it sharpened on equipment made for serrations.


    Care

    • Victorinox rates Fibrox Pro knives dishwasher safe. Washing by hand and drying at once keeps the edge from knocking against other items in the rack.
    • Cut on wood or soft composite boards rather than glass, stone or ceramic.
    • Store in a block, on a magnetic strip or in a sleeve such as the Victorinox Knife Safe for 4-inch to 6-inch Knives, not loose in a drawer.
