The Knife That Surprised Me With Its Size

I was not prepared for how long this knife is when it arrived. It is seriously impressive. But once I started using it, I understood exactly why the length matters.

We buy our meat in bulk. That means I regularly have large chunks to work through before portioning and storing everything. Meat slices best with one long, smooth stroke rather than a sawing motion. Short knives simply cannot do that properly. This Victorinox slicing knife can, and the difference is immediately noticeable.

Sharp, Smooth and Genuinely Enjoyable to Use

Technically this knife is designed for cooked meat. I use it on raw meat and it handles that beautifully too. The plain edge round tip blade glides through with very little effort because the high carbon stainless steel stays razor sharp. There is something genuinely satisfying about a knife that does exactly what it should without any resistance.

The blade length means you can cover the full cut in one stroke, which gives you cleaner slices and less mess. Because I prep meat regularly, this has become one of the most useful knives in our kitchen. Additionally, it is dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup simple after a big prep session.

Victorinox consistently delivers quality at a fair price and this slicing knife is no exception. It feels well balanced in the hand despite the length, and the black polypropylene handle gives a secure grip even when working with larger pieces of meat.

If you buy meat in bulk and prep at home, this knife will change how you work in the kitchen.
