Victorinox Hardwood 7.5-inch Serrated Chef’s Knife

This 7.5-inch Victorinox chef’s knife has a wavy serrated edge that gives more control on crusty breads and harder items, and it is still good to use on meats, vegetables and fruit. The wood handle comes from the line Victorinox sold as Rosewood for many years and now calls Victorinox Hardwood, with modified maple in the traditional rosewood color.

The wave pattern grips the surface of food before it cuts, so it slices a ripe tomato without squashing it and saws through a crusty loaf without compressing the crumb. It also catches the waxy skin of a bell pepper cleanly.

Use a light sawing stroke and let the serrations do the work. The 7.5-inch length is manageable on a small board while still reaching across a round loaf.

The synthetic-handled version is the Fibrox Pro 7.5-inch Serrated Chef’s Knife. For a longer serrated blade in wood, see the Hardwood 10-inch Serrated Chef’s Knife. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains serrated shapes.

    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.

    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

    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

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