Product Information
Full details
The Victorinox Fibrox Slicing Knife is designed for professional chefs and serious home cooks who require a reliable, razor-sharp tool for clean, precise carving and slicing of meats and roasts. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a high-quality, ice-tempered stainless steel blade and a fatigue-reducing, ergonomic anti-slip handle, making it an essential workhorse for high-volume kitchen tasks. While it offers exceptional cutting performance and durability, its significant 30.5cm length may prove unwieldy for users with limited counter space or those performing delicate, small-scale prep work.

FAQs
Is this knife safe for the dishwasher?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is generally recommended to keep the blade sharper for longer.
Can this be used for chopping vegetables?
While it can cut vegetables, the long, thin blade is optimized for slicing meat. It is not recommended for heavy chopping or tasks involving thick-skinned produce.
Does it come with a protective cover?
No, it does not typically come with a sheath; consider a universal blade guard for safe storage.
Is the handle made of real wood?
No, the handle is made from a specialized synthetic material called Fibrox, designed for superior grip and hygiene.
How often should I hone the knife?
For consistent performance, it is best to use a honing steel before every major carving session.
What is the weight of this knife?
The knife is intentionally lightweight to prevent hand fatigue, a hallmark of the professional Fibrox series.
Troubleshooting
The knife feels dull after heavy use
Use a honing steel to realign the blade edge. If that does not restore sharpness, the edge may need to be reprofiled using a sharpening stone or professional sharpening service.
Blade appears stained or discolored
While stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, acidic foods left on the blade can cause marks. Scrub gently with a non-abrasive pad and mild dish soap to remove residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of its 30.5cm blade, you should ensure you have a sufficiently large cutting board to prevent the tip from extending over the edge. While the knife is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the edge quality for as long as possible. When storing, avoid placing the knife in a crowded drawer where the blade can strike other metal tools. A magnetic strip or a universal in-drawer knife organizer is the best way to protect the edge. For maintenance, a standard honing steel should be used regularly to realign the edge, while professional sharpening or a quality pull-through sharpener can be used for occasional heavy maintenance.
