Key Features
- High-Quality European Steel Blade – Made from premium high-carbon stainless steel, the blade is conical ground and ice tempered for exceptional edge retention and long-lasting sharpness, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.
- Granton Edge Design – Hollowed-out sections along both sides of the blade create air pockets that reduce friction and prevent meat from sticking, ensuring smooth, clean cuts through large roasts and tough cuts.
- Ergonomic Fibrox Pro Handle – The non-slip, patented Fibrox Pro handle offers a secure and comfortable grip, even when wet. Its ergonomic shape fits naturally in the hand and reduces strain during prolonged use.
- Balanced Weight and Lightweight Build – Thoughtfully engineered for optimal balance, the knife feels responsive and easy to control, allowing for precise cuts without unnecessary hand or wrist fatigue.
- Flat Spine for Added Power – The flat spine along the top of the blade provides extra leverage, giving you the strength needed to cut through dense or tougher cuts of meat with confidence.
- NSF Approved and Dishwasher Safe – Meets strict National Sanitation Foundation standards for public health safety and is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the blade’s sharpness.

Important Notes
While the Fibrox Pro Butcher Knife is dishwasher safe, Victorinox recommends hand washing with a soapy cloth and immediate drying to maintain the blade’s sharpness and longevity. Dishwashers can expose knives to high-pressure water and potential collisions with other utensils, which may dull the edge over time. For optimal performance, use a honing steel after every few uses to realign the blade edge and maintain peak sharpness. This knife was formerly distributed in the U.S. under the Forschner name, a trusted partner of Victorinox since 1937. Always store safely and avoid using on hard surfaces like glass or stone to preserve the blade integrity.
