WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

MATERIALS

BladeHigh-carbon stainless steel

Corrosion-resistant steel and a heel-to-tip taper support long, low-drag slices.

HandleFibrox thermoplastic elastomer

Textured, slip-resistant grip remains secure around moisture.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Functional Swiss industrial design: softly shaped black grip, rounded tip and long working edge. It looks professional rather than ornamental, but offers excellent wet-hand confidence.

LONGEVITY

Victorinox provides a lifetime warranty against material/workmanship defects. Hand washing prolongs edge life, though the handle is more dishwasher-tolerant than wood.
