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.
| Handle | Material | Care | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Fibrox Pro | Textured TPE, slip-resistant when wet | Dishwasher safe per Victorinox; hand washing protects the edge | Commercial kitchens, processing rooms and home cooks who want an easy-care grip |
| Colored Fibrox Pro | The same TPE handle in red, blue, yellow or green | Same as black Fibrox Pro | Kitchens that assign knives to food groups under a HACCP color-coding plan, and anyone who wants a knife that is easy to spot |
| Fibrox Pro Dual Grip | Two-component, non-slip handle that supports the hand and wrist | Same as black Fibrox Pro | Cutters who work for hours at a time and want more support for the hand and wrist |
| Hardwood (formerly Rosewood) | Modified maple stained in the traditional rosewood color | Hand wash only | Butchers and cooks who prefer the feel and look of a wood handle |
Keeping the Edge
Victorinox steel at this hardness takes a fine edge quickly and responds well to honing. A few light strokes on a honing steel during a work session keep the edge aligned; sharpen on a stone or a guided sharpener when honing no longer brings it back. Our Honing Rod Guide compares regular, fine and polishing cuts, and the Victorinox 12-inch fine cut honing steel suits these blades.
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 6-inch to 8-inch Knives, not loose in a drawer.
- For the boat or the tackle box, the Victorinox 8-inch Leather Sheath for Fillet Knives protects the blade.
