Victorinox Kitchen and Steak Knives

Cutlery from the Victorinox line offers kitchen and steak knives. These specialty kitchen knives are forged with high carbon stainless steel blades. Products are available for everything from general purpose kitchen knives to a set of Victorinox steak knives.

While Victorinox manufactures the Victorinox Swiss Army knives, the company actually utilizes craftsmen from Germany to forge steel material from Sandvik, Sweden, for their knives. The blades are finished by hand in Switzerland by Victorinox craftsmen. Cutlery features include:

• Blades - The Victorinox knife blade is crafted from high carbon stainless steel.
• Edges - The edge of the knife blade may feature a serrated edge, a fluted edge, or a Granton Edge.
• Tip - Knives come with round tips or spear tips.
• Handles - Victorinox lightweight knife handles are made ergonomically of either Fibrox, Rosewood, or Pakkawood.
• Victorinox knives are also dishwasher-safe, have nylon covers available, and can be sharpened with Victorinox knife sharpeners.
