Victorinox Slicing and Carving Knives

Plain edges give the smoothest face on cooked meat; Granton hollows keep slices from sticking; serrated edges grip crusts and the bark on smoked meats. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains each, and the full range is in our Victorinox slicing knives category.

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.

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 Aluminum 12-inch Knife Scabbard, not loose in a drawer.
