Victorinox Fibrox Pro 8-inch Bread Knife

An 8-inch bread knife is the right size for sandwich loaves, baguettes and rolls on an everyday board. This Victorinox Fibrox Pro bread knife has pointed serrations that bite into a crust with very little downward pressure, so the loaf is cut rather than crushed.

Start each slice at the far side of the crust with the tip, then saw back and forth with long, light strokes until the blade reaches the board. Let the teeth do the work; pressing down flattens a soft crumb.

The same edge slices tomatoes and soft-skinned fruit cleanly, and it levels small cake layers and splits rolls for sandwiches. The textured handle stays secure when your hands are floured.

For large rounds of sourdough, the Fibrox Pro 10.25-inch Bread Knife has more reach. The Fibrox Pro 7-inch Offset Bread Knife raises the handle for knuckle clearance, and the Hardwood 8-inch Bread Knife has a wood handle. The table in the Details compares all Victorinox bread knives.

    Victorinox Bread Knives

    An offset bread knife raises the handle above the blade so the knuckles clear the board at the end of each cut. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains serrated shapes, and the full range is in our Victorinox bread knives category.

    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 8-inch to 10-inch Knives, not loose in a drawer.
