Victorinox Fibrox 12-Inch Slicing Knife with Straight Edge and Black Handle

The knife you never knew you always needed. Perfect for any kind of carving but a must for tritip, picana, prime rib, any slicing steak, and, of course, even the annual turkey. It’s an amazing slicer…very sharp and slides through meat with ease Its length makes storing it a minor challenge but I have opted for a magnetic knife holder and this is working perfectly. Just make sure it’s big enough.

I bought this knife just before preparing a meal for 125 people. Smoked tri-tip and ham were the dishes I was contributing to the meal. I have access to a professional meat slicer, but I wanted to see how things would fare cutting the meat by hand. Cutting by hand gives me a lot more control when it comes to cutting against the grain - which is a big deal when it comes to the texture of the slices of meat. The knife did a fantastic job. I was able to cut 40lbs of tri tip with no issue at all, and was able to control the thickness of the slices very easily. The knife did have some resistance when it came to cutting through the fat cap, but even the powered slicer struggles with that (the powered slicer tends to cut most of the fat, but not all of it, so there are strands pulling back and forth making quite a mess). The knife handled the fat cap much better than I anticipated actually. After 40lbs of tri tip, I wan't sure if the blade would hold its edge. I was cutting on a wood cutting board as well, so some dulling wouldn't have been a surprise at all. I know this knife isn't really intended to be used on a cutting board, but because I was slicing prior to the event, it was an easier way to handle the workload. All that said, the blade kept its sharpness, and I was able to slice extremely thin slices of ham when desired. It breezed through the 50lbs of ham with no issue. I've used the knife at home several times after the event for a family dinner, and it is still extremely sharp. I've haven't felt the need to sharpen the knife yet. I'm very pleased with how much this thing has been able to cut through and still remain sharp. I've wanted a powered meat slicer for a long time, but there are a few major downsides to them. They take up a lot of space in the kitchen, and need to be taken apart and cleaned after every use for the best results. For slicing large quantities of meat, a powered slicer is a great option. But for home use, and even medium sized events, this knife is the way to go. I highly recommend this knife for anyone who serves meat on a semi-regular basis. I'm seriously considering buying a few more for my next event.

Oh my, sharp, such smooth even slices. I bought this to slice meat for jerky, best buy since my dehydrator, maybe better. I started to make jerky for high protein, low carb, low sugar snacks. If you've never had fresh warm jerky, you have missed a true treat. Home made beats the packaged brands less cost, and allows for a variety of meats and flavors (beef, chicken, pork, spicy, teriyaki.....). I Tried it on two eye of round roasts, as I was anxious, the first was chilled firm, but not as solid I usually had to for the knife that came with my old slicer set. The difference was like night and day, smooth cuts, no sawing. Cuts were uniform, no blade flexing making uneven spots, cut all the way through (horizontally under the meat), no tapering, didn't have to move the roast to orient to a trailing edge. finished slicing in 1/3 the time too. Then when I would have had to switch blades to trim to size, once again this knife did the job, cutting like soft butter, and because of the length I got some fantastic pieces. The second roast was a bit firmer, I tested other cuts, first I took rounds off the thick end, even tried some free hand (with out the slicer form, just this knife), and finished with the slicer unit, the knife started sharp and remained sharp. I even though about donning a cutting glove, as I got near the end of my task, with the meat being about twice the width of the slice. This knife also was great with some left over turkey breast, I can hardly wait to use it on the holiday ham. If there was any downside, it was the packaging, a plastic bubble, that while allowing a good view of the knife and keeping the edges protected during shipping, may lack the elegance of a box that some people may desire. It also lacked an edge guard, but with only adults in the kitchen, it is not an issue for me. Personally I would rather have a good knife, the package doesn't matter when it in use, and that's what this is. A very good knife. Final notes - the Fibrox handle was very comfortable at different cutting angles. It has a dual sided Granton blade. The blade is well balanced and centered in the handle, and should be usable right or left handed. For a 12 inch blade it is very light and maneuverable. The blade is Swiss made, and NSE certified. It is supposed to be dishwasher safe, though I would be sure to place it in a way other items won't bump the cutting edge.

I love this knife for slicing up meat. Any meat. Sharp and thin with a nice grip. I like the straight design and length is perfect for slicing brisket, ribs, etc....Haven't needed to sharpen after months of steady use....'Would buy again. Could use a better sheath than it came in (which is flimsy clear plastic that I'm not sure it was meant to be a sheath)...

A few years ago, I watched my butcher cut some rib-eyes for me using the butcher-knife from Victorinox. I went with the slicing knife, since I don't butcher much (I do cut filets about once a year.) With the slicing knife though, I make a faux pastrami on the Smoker, and this is my go-to knife for brisket or the pastrami! This is a very thin and light blade and so it goes through the meat very easily due to sharpness and narrow-ness (and the cupped shapes on the side of the blade keep it from sticking). If I was slicing a ham or turkey at the table, I would use this there, too. And, because of the steel quality (not too hard) and the fact that is it not serrated - means that I can sharpen it myself on my diamond block and then hone it on the strop with compound to keep it new. If you buy a diamond block, please read up on the different types of diamond block construction and you may decide to spend a little more on a diamond block. This slicing knife is just amazing. Be sure to order the Victorinox sheath for it (plastic blade guard) and for your safety.

Beautiful knife. So sharp and cuts like a dream.

Great for filleting large fish. decent quality stainless/carbon steel. Wish they had a version with a pointed tip

I hesitated to buy this knife. The Fibrox handle looked cheap, and the stamped blade didn’t inspire the same confidence as the forged steel in my other knives. But I was wrong. The handle is outstanding when you’re working with large cuts of meat or big vegetables like cabbage. Combined with the length and heft of the blade, it actually reduces hand fatigue during long prep sessions. The high‑carbon stainless steel has the right balance of weight, flexibility, and sharpness. It performs far above its price point and has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

Perfect combination of quality and utility

Amazing knife, beautiful, razor sharp, dishwasher safe, comfortable grip, wet or dry. I'm a practical person, so I wanted a quality slicing knife, but didn't want to spend hundreds on some flashy blade, like these Instagram posers. I also didn't want to buy some off-brand either. I wanted it to be durable, comfortable, dishwasher safe and easy to sharpen. I was given a 10 inch Victorinox Chefs knife 20 years ago as a gift. The exact same series as this knife and I use it daily at home. Run it through the dishwasher daily and I hit it with my sharpening steel maybe once every 2 weeks to restore it edge. It is still my favorite knife and is a good as the day I got it and I have no doubt I will have it forever. This slicing knife is the same quality and will likely be the last 12 inch slicing knife I ever own.

Onestamente mi aspettavo un coltello più preciso e più affilato. L'ho provato su un prosciutto e la mia opinione è che la lama sia troppo spessa per essere precisi, si rischia di avere una fetta sottile da un lato e molto spessa dll'altro.

Excelente cuchillo, tiene un muy buen filo . Lo he usado para partir brisket, lechón, costillar ahumado y picaña y todo lo corta Perfecto. Es fácil de usar y no se raya fácilmente, una gran compra.

Le meilleur couteau à trancher de ma vie ..... et j'en ai eu plusieurs....
