Fibrox Pro 8" Chef's Knife - Blue Handle by Victorinox

The Victorinox (formerly Forschner*) 8-inch Chef's Knife features a blue Fibrox handle and extremely sharp blade that holds its edge.

The patented Fibrox handle is dishwasher safe and slip resistant, even when wet. It is also NSF approved, as crevices that would offer hospitality to bacteria are minimized. As with all R.H. Forschner knives, the handle is ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension and provides a natural fit. The handle is color coded red according to the HAACP recognized color codes, where red is for meat.

Forschner knives all have high carbon, stainless steel blades that are hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. Each knife is stamped from a single sheet of metal. The blade is then hardened, tempered, ground, polished, etched and finished. Victorinox uses a special tempering process to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again.

The Victorinox (formerly R.H. Forschner*) 8 inch Chef's Knife won the distinction of Best Value in the April, 2007 Cook's Illustrated test. Testers for this popular consumer magazine summarized their review by saying, "This is exactly what a knife is supposed to be."

Once again in the August, 2009 Cook's Illustrated, "While it's easy to blow your budget on a fancy chef's knife, the inexpensive, lightweight Victorinox Fibrox remains the test kitchen favorite."

Engraving: Up to 16 characters can be laser engraved on the blade of the 8" Chef's Knife in addition to 10 characters on its handle.
