Victorinox Fibrox Pro 9 in. French Chefs Knife

The Victorinox 9 in. Chef knife is narrower at the heel than either the 8 or 10 inch models. This is a more of a classic French Chef knife shape with the tip being centered along the length of the blade. The blade width is 1.5 inches at heel as opposed to 2 inches which would be normal for a German chef knife profile. Although the French Chef's knife has slightly less knuckle clearance than the wider designs, this profile creates a very comfortable and easy rocking movement across the cutting board. This shape also works very well for push or pull cutting, which is typically done with flatter, asian profile blades.
