I Bought The Best Selling Chef Knife (Is It Worth It?)

Is this best-selling chef knife worth your hard-earned money? We need to know three things to determine if it's worth it. How good is the build construction? Is it sharp? Will it survive the dishwasher?

At the time of recording, this knife cost $41.44, I noticed that the price has been going all over the place, so the price may vary.

Victorinox was my first ever chef blades I used through trade school. The ‘plastic’ is called Fibrox

[danbourlotos]

This is the knife I tell people to get if they don't want to spend money on a custom. The value with this is insane, and I honestly think that everyone should have this knife in their kitchen.

I make knives and I still have one.

I started out as a line cook with an 8 inch Victorinox chefs knife like this, as did many other cooks and chefs. While there’s plenty of better knives out there on the market these are hard to beat for the price, and are honestly the backbone of many restaurant kitchens.

As an ex chef, the only knives that survived 15 years were my Victorinox Fibrox knives. Durable blades, comfortable handles and lightweight. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for value for money.

This is the best advert for a knife I've ever seen. I don't even need a new knife but now found myself checking Amazon and considering buying it

Made in Switzerland 👍🏻
Really the best cheap Kitchen Knives. Very popular in Germany. I love your Channel. Greetings from Germany and Happy new Year to the States

[phenomenal]

Well its Victorinox, so im not suprised of the result... They make quality knives.

[jeffreyoldham]

That was some torture test, Kyle! Victorinox should be honored that a Master Bladesmith put their chef's knife through it's paces, and very happy with the results. Really enjoying your "Worth It" series. Keep 'em coming!

[jerkypat]

Thanks Kyle… the knife is now $52.72. You just made it 20% more valuable… hope you get a cut of that

I worked in tons of industrial kitchens and probably Used hundreds of these from sysco, victorinox, and Dexter. These are the free use kitchen knives and honestly will do everything you will need. I used to buy semi custom and custom knives and have spent well over 3k for a knife, and what I wish I could tell my younger self is to just stick with these cheap knives that won't get stolen. I worked in a kitchen that we actually ordered 20 of these and other knives for the kitchen from our wholesaler, and we paid about 6 bucks a knife in early 2023.

This has been my go to chef and paring knife brand for years. When I was in culinary school I got a beautiful, expensive set of knives and they now sit in a drawer unused in favor of the Victorinox. Of course, I just had my shop built and had my 25 ton press delivered. We'll see if I can make something to beat it. hehe Hey Kyle - let's see a chef's knife build in Knifemaker Plus! Could possibly even be a single month build.

Victorinox make some fantastic knives from the chefs knives you destroyed to their folders. I've given their pairing knives, chefs knives and other kitchen knives as wedding gifts over the years. Great, inexpensive knives to give since the knife tends to outlast the marriage.

Been cooking seriously for 50 yrs. Been using and recommending this knife for the 15 yrs I've been using one. Word of warning: people have different sized and constructed hands and you might want to take one out for a test drive first as I did, but I am very happy w this knife.

[kestrel]

I’ve used one for a number of years. It’s my go to knife for most applications. I use an Accusharp for sharpening followed by a hone. Whilst not as sharp as my carbon steel knife, it’s very good value and relatively cheap. Highly recommended.

[Aexium]

I got this exact same knife a couple weeks ago as my first knife and am loving it

[IchigoCh]

Good to see victorinox hasnt started resting on their laurels. Generally considered pretty good knives cmpany (one of the manufcturers of original swiss pocket knives after all too). So yeah defs nice to see you putting it through your test revealed pretty reassuring results

[philipp]

It's hard to find specs on this knife. As far as I could find out it uses Dura 4110, could you hrc test it / file test it for hardness?

[dmnrbnsk]

As a meat cutter by trade with about 32 years experience, I have used many different knives. Victorinox are by far the best. I don't even mean the best "cheap" knife. They are thin and lightweight. They are easy to sharpen and hold an edge for decades. If you know how to sharpen and use a steel, one of these "cheap" knives can last for years of industrial use and forever in a home kitchen.

[ninjayacdan]

It's a Victorionox, I could not be less surprised it held up that well.
