Chances are, if you open your kitchen drawers you’ll find a little Victorinox knife somewhere.
Most likely, it’s one of your favourites too. And that’s for a good reason: Victorinox knives are probably the most well-known knife brand worldwide. Made in Ibach-Schwyz and Delemont in Switzerland, their range of household and professional kitchen tools (not to forget their famous Swiss Army Knives) all started over 135 years ago, in 1884. All Victorinox steel blades are made from 100% recycled, martensitic stainless steel. This steel provides optimum function & durability and delivers the perfect combination of cutting edge retention and corrosion protection. The blades should also be flexible so it does not break during use.
The Wood collection from Victorinox combines ergonomic handles in a naturally strong raw material with ultrasharp, efficient blades. Long been considered an ideal material for knife handles, rosewood is highly robust and gives each model a unique patterning. Victorinox prize the carefully hand-polished Wood knives for their comfortable feel and natural elegant look.
The Santoku Knife is the Japanese take on the general-purpose kitchen knife. It excels at slicing, dicing and mincing; but its biggest talent is being multitalented – and its true speciality is doing everything well. Thanks to its special shape, low weight and excellent balance, you’ll find the Santoku to be a true all-rounder that’s a joy to use day in and day out.
