Product Information
Full details
The Victorinox Fibrox Carving Knife is designed for professional chefs and home cooks who prioritize precision and safety when slicing larger cuts of meat or roasts. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a sharp, ice-tempered steel blade and an ergonomic anti-slip handle that ensures excellent control during repetitive carving tasks. While it excels in utility and durability, users should note that the 30.5cm blade requires significant storage space and careful handling due to its length.

FAQs
Can I use this knife to cut through bones?
No, this knife is designed for slicing meats and vegetables. Cutting through bones can chip or damage the fine steel edge.
Is the handle heat resistant?
Yes, the Fibrox material is heat-resistant and designed to handle standard kitchen temperatures.
What is the best way to sharpen this knife?
A fine-grit whetstone or a reputable pull-through sharpener will work well to maintain the edge of the ice-tempered steel.
Does the knife come with a sheath?
Generally, this model does not include a sheath; it is recommended to purchase a universal blade guard for storage.
Is the blade flexible?
The blade is relatively rigid to ensure precision, which is ideal for carving roasts and meats.
Can I use this for filleting fish?
While it can slice, a dedicated fillet knife with a more flexible blade is recommended for fish to better follow the bone structure.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull during use
Use a honing steel to realign the blade edge, or use a manual pull-through sharpener to restore the cutting edge.
Handle surface becomes slick
Ensure the handle is cleaned of any residual food grease using warm soapy water and dried thoroughly with a towel.
Visible spots on the blade after dishwasher use
These are often mineral deposits; wipe the blade with a soft cloth dipped in white vinegar and dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Victorinox Fibrox Carving Knife, store the blade in a dedicated knife block, a drawer organizer, or on a magnetic wall strip to protect the edge from dulling against other utensils. While the knife is dishwasher safe, many professionals prefer hand washing with mild detergent to preserve the factory-sharpened edge for longer periods. Avoid using the knife on glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards, as these surfaces are too hard and will cause rapid dulling. For routine maintenance, use a sharpening steel regularly to realign the edge and schedule professional sharpening if the blade loses its bite over time.
