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.
Victorinox Grand Maître knives with forged steel blades, transition seamlessly into specially sculpted ergonomic handles, creating a knife that is perfectly balanced and simply beautiful to hold. For amateur cooks and professional chefs alike, the Grand Maître collection is all about balance. Each piece in this widely sought range is of a full tang construction, uniformly hardened and forged from a single piece. Because of this, the transition from blade to handle is sleekly seamless, with the latter ergonomically shaped for comfort even over sustained periods. The bolster thickens between the handle and the blade which provides a smooth transition and increases user safety.
The Victorinox Santoku knife is a general-purpose kitchen master. It excels at slicing, dicing and mincing; but its biggest talent is being multi-talented – and its true speciality is doing everything well. With its special shape 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. And with a forged blade, it is, quite simply, one of the most brilliant knives you’ll ever hold in your hand. The fluted blade results in less of the surface of the blade touching what you’re cutting so there is fewer chances of it sticking to your blade.
