Victorinox Hardwood 10-inch Chef’s Knife

An 8-inch blade covers general tasks, and a 10-inch chef’s knife adds leverage for high-volume work. This Victorinox version pairs that length with a wood handle from the Victorinox Hardwood line, sold for many years as Victorinox Rosewood and now made of modified maple in the traditional rosewood stain.

The longer blade processes more food with each cut. It handles large proteins and dense vegetables such as butternut squash and cabbage, where the extra length lets the knife finish a cut in one stroke instead of several.

Use a large, stable board, and let the length of the edge do the work in long, smooth strokes. The stamped blade stays light for its size, which keeps the knife quick in the hand.

The same blade with a synthetic handle is the Fibrox Pro 10-inch Chef’s Knife. The Hardwood 8-inch is the everyday length, and the Hardwood 12-inch gives the most reach. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide compares lengths.

    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.

    HandleMaterialCareWho it suits
    Black Fibrox ProTextured TPE, slip-resistant when wetDishwasher safe per Victorinox; hand washing protects the edgeCommercial kitchens, processing rooms and home cooks who want an easy-care grip
    Colored Fibrox ProThe same TPE handle in red, blue, yellow or greenSame as black Fibrox ProKitchens 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 GripTwo-component, non-slip handle that supports the hand and wristSame as black Fibrox ProCutters 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 colorHand wash onlyButchers 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

    • Hand wash only. Wash with warm, soapy water and dry at once; do not soak the wood handle or put it in a dishwasher.
    • 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.
