I love the Henckels pro S series. The shop where I used to teach cooking had these knives in their kitchen which made all knife tasks a breeze. They are nicely weighted, have a strong sharp blade, keep their edge, are durable, and fit well in small hands. I used to dream of owning one or two and was lucky enough to find this one at a reasonable price so I purchased it as a special gift for myself.


Help answer the question about Granton Edge
The best knife sharpener. Chef's choice or Master Grade?
I'm in the meat cutting business and I use Forschner Granton Edge granton knives. I would like to know which electric sharpener is better: the Chef's choice 130 or Master Grade. If there are other better than these two please let me know. Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

Love, Love, Love this knife. Highly recommend because it slices through everything, including bread, perfectly.

Coleman June 18, 2010 at 12:46 am

Excellent knife. I compete in several state bbq championships, and I find this knife to be the easiest to carve precise slices of brisket and pork. Its also very easy to clean and sharpen.

Huber June 18, 2010 at 1:15 pm

Although this knife looks imposing, it is the perfect carving knife.
It can cut thin slices when needed. The handle is comfortable and the balance is good. It does what it is supposed to do.

Jakeway June 19, 2010 at 12:43 am

Absolutely love this knife, only regret I didn’t buy this sooner. Cook’s Illustrated is certainly “on the money” with this knife. Own other expensive slicer knives and this is the best. Love it, love it!!

For those of us who want everything to look perfect on the serving platter, I recommend this slicer. It’s hollow grind gives you total control over the width of the slice, and its wide blade makes it easy to transport the meat from the cutting board. Plus, the high carbon steel gives you an edge that could easily be mistaken for a laser – forgive the cliche, but it finds its way though any meat as though it were butter.

I even carve turkey with this.

This knife was a big move up for us. Much better than the slicer in our block of knives. 4 and a half stars only because it dragged a tad more than I expected. I can see an advantage for a knife with a little more flex (and thinner blade), but this knife was the right knife for the price.

Arrived on time.
Excellent weight, balance
Excellent cutting edge, handling. The scalloped edge / Granton Edge / Cullens work as advertized!
If you need a professional quality slicer and can pay the price this is perfect.

I have a lot of experience as a cook, mostly as at home but also time spent in the restaurant kitchen. When my church decided to remodel and restock its kitchen, I was asked to made the recommendations on specific brands (of small appliances, cookware, knives) to buy. I relied on a bunch of reviews, including those in Cooks Illustrated and Consumer Reports, and bought a handful of highly-rated knives to test. The Victorinox was the winner, hands down. Here’s why:

– exceedingly comfortable handle, slightly indented to accommodate your finger tips, usable by all three testers (a member of the church’s youth group, a petite woman and a 6′ guy).

– exceedingly light weight and good balance. Some of the knives were blade-heavy, hard to control and tiring for the occasional-cook to use. Some felt wretchedly uncomfortable in your hand. The Victorinox was feather light and easy to manage.

– exceedingly sharp blade that worked well on a variety of cutting tasks.

– a ridiculously low price. Some of the finalist knives were over $100 a piece. Victorinox was doing the same quality of work for a quarter (in some cases less) of the price.

We ended up buying several Victorinox models — serrated slicer, santoku, small chef’s — and have been very pleased with each.

This is sharp from mfg. We use this brand comercially, have knives 3x more expensive, not better. Doesn’t hold edge as long as very best, but I don’t feel guilty hitting it w/ a steel.

Jaramillo June 22, 2010 at 12:57 am

Great knife – SHARP – Cuts veggies and even tomatoes as thin as you like – No need to stick the tomatoes to start the cut – They look picture perfect too – If I had to complain about anything it is that the cucumber slices still stick to the side of the blade but the way this thing cuts I’ll put up with that – Maybe I didn’t even need to mention that – Worth every penny – Just to note, I bought the bread knife too – Just as great

Donato June 22, 2010 at 1:33 pm

This is the main knife I use now. I use a steel on it everyday and it holds the edge all day long. Be careful with this knife! The edge you can put on it will slice through skin with no trouble at all! Ask me how I know. By far the best knife I’ve owned and I’ve owned German, Japanese and custom made knives from the top manufacturers. Just remember you MUST use a steel regularly. No knife can retain a edge without maintenance.

Kiley June 23, 2010 at 1:32 am

I like this knife so much I plan to replace the rest of my knives with Fibrox knives.
The handle fits perfect and feels good.
When people come to visit I have them check out the knife and they all say “Wow!”.
Then they chop up the vegetables for me because they are having so much fun with it. :-)
This knife is made in Switzerland with a super sharp blade that cuts smoothly.
Get one it’s worth it.

Edwards June 23, 2010 at 1:02 pm

After purchasing this knife along with the 8″ chef knife; I found myself using this one daily. I think I can count up two times when I grabbed the 8″ chef; that’s how useful this one is for most dicing and chopping jobs. I’m also impressed how sharp and rust free this knife is after a few months of use. A+

Church June 24, 2010 at 1:26 am

Holds an edge good, fits the hand well, could be just a touch heavier. It is my new go to knife for just about everything. I have had it for a few months now and haven’t had to touch up the edge yet. It does meat, fruit, and vegetables equally well. It sucks for cheese, but I have a different knife for that.

Carmichae June 24, 2010 at 1:33 pm

Always used forged, good lookin’ blades (and handles)… but I like to think of myself as a “scientist” who goes by the facts..and results. Well, these Victorinox knives, the 7″ Santuko, the 6″ fillet, and the 8″ Chef’s, have proved my thirty years’ prejudices…just that. Of course, no one made stamped knives like this back then. That’s my excuse. Okay? (Actually, my first set, wedding gifts, were carbon-steel stamped uglies, and I still have them…and hold them.)

With a 5 dollar Wusthoff ceramic sharpener to maintain the “V” knives, it’s over for the rest of my collection, except for a Wolfgang Puck 9″ German steel Granton edge large handled Chef’s. (But you need space, a table at the right height, and a massive job to justify its use. Then, it’s like having a third, super-hand.)

For the new “V” guys,it’s all about the narrow profile, the high polish, the low resistance SUPER SHARP EASILY MAINTAINED BLADES and it feels like you’re scissor-hands.

My other heavy friends, with the oil, the Arkansas stones, etc., bye-bye.
