Full details
The Victorinox Filleting Knife - 16cm is an essential tool for professional chefs and home cooks who prioritize precision when preparing delicate fish. Its primary benefit is the combination of a razor-sharp, flexible high-carbon stainless steel blade and a comfortable, ergonomic rosewood handle, allowing for clean, efficient cuts. A notable caveat is that the natural wood handle requires careful hand washing and maintenance, as it is not dishwasher safe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This knife requires no complex setup; it is ready to use immediately out of the box. To maintain the longevity of your Victorinox knife, always wash it by hand using warm water and a mild detergent. Immediately dry the blade and handle with a soft cloth to prevent water damage to the rosewood. Avoid leaving the knife submerged in water or in the sink. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil to the wooden handle will keep it conditioned and prevent cracking. Store the knife in a knife block, magnetic strip, or protective sheath to protect the blade edge from dulling against other utensils.
