Victorinox Fibrox Chef's Knife Extra Wide, 8 in review

Victorinox's Fibrox chef's knife is the budget pick that still earns a place near the top because value carries 35% of the score. For $67.00 you get a Swiss Made, 7.9 in straight-edge blade that is 2.2 in wide, which leaves room for your knuckles and helps scoop chopped food off the board. The thermoplastic elastomer handle is non-slip, which matters when your hands are wet. Victorinox lists the knife as dishwasher safe and covers it with its lifetime warranty. At 6.4 oz it is the lightest knife on this list. The trade-offs are clear on the spec sheet: the blade is not forged, and Victorinox does not publish a hardness figure, so we scored quality conservatively. The look is plain and practical rather than a showpiece. Many retailers sell the same item number as the Fibrox Pro 8-inch. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cutting tests.
