PROFESSIONAL KNIVES
The extensive range of stamped blades provides a choice of ergonomic handles.
Rosewood — this beautiful timber was used by Victorinox for all knife handles until 1974. Attractive to the eye and comfortable in the hand it is still preferred by professional enthusiasts. The oils in the timber have a natural antiseptic property. These knives should never be soaked in water or cleaned in a dishwasher, but washed under a running tap.
Fibrox — The workhorse of the range – non–slip, ergonomic in design, sterilisable and durable. This handle is preferred in most commercial applications for chefs and butchers. Available in Black, Red, Yellow and Blue where distinction in food preparation areas is required.
Microban — Built into the Fibrox handle during manufacture, Microban provides continuous protection against bacteria for the life of the knife. Upon contact with bacteria, Microban penetrates the bacteria’s cell wall and destroys its ability to function, grow and reproduce. Particularly applicable for institutional kitchens and healthcare facilities where hygiene is critical, the handle is distinguishable by its dark blue colour.
Polypropylene — This nylon material is used on the small paring knives and table ware. A cost effective solution for small knives, it
is available in black, red, blue & white.
‘Grand Maître’ the Forged range — The latest range from Victorinox is a superb collection of Chefs Knives. The balance of each knife is so perfect you will enjoy using with it over long work periods. Designed by Victorinox and forged in Solingen Germany from a single piece, they exhibit a seamless transition from the blade to the handle. High quality X50CrMoV15 chrome-molybdenum steel serves as the raw material. Rounded edges on the ergonomically shaped handle ensure comfort for both large and small hands. The right blade hardness and the laser controlled cutting edge guarantee a high edge retention.
Ceramic — The Victorinox Ceramic knives are manufactured to a percentage of almost 100% from high-purity zirconium oxide, making them almost as hard as diamond. As a result the blades remain sharp over a very long periods and offer an impressively high cutting quality. Ceramic is inert and therefore totally neutral to taste and odour. Also it is anti-allergic, resistant to acids and very easy to clean due to its very high density.
