Victorinox Cutlery 4-1/2 Inch 6 Piece Wavy Edge with Round Tip Steak Knife Set

Victorinox Cutlery 4-1/2 Inch 6 Piece Wavy Edge with Round Tip Steak Knife Set Overview

Make sure everyone enjoys their steak with this smooth cutting set of six steak knives from RH Forschner by Victorinox, packaged in a handsome gift box that's great for storing for special occasions. The 4-1/2-inch serrated blades have a rounded tip and ergonomically designed black polypropylene handles. Made in Switzerland, the commercial quality blades are made from stamped stainless steel with a high carbon content. All blades are conically ground on the full length of the blade as well as ground crosswise, which results in a wider break point with less risk of blade fracturing and less resistance for ease of cutting. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade.

Hand washing is recommended, as the heat and the agitation of a dishwasher is not good for the edge of the blades and detergents can cause spots. The handles will also discolor with constant use of the dishwasher. The knives are backed by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturers defects.

Victorinox Cutlery 4-1/2 Inch 6 Piece Wavy Edge with Round Tip Steak Knife Set Review

          Love these knives, very handy day-to-day and good quality. They cut through meat very easily. Agree with comments that they could be more aesthetic and less 'cheap' in their handles, but honestly wouldn't be embarrassed about using them with guests. They are very sharp, yet my 5 year old can still use them safely with ease since they are light-weight, and the rounded-tip provides some reassurance that anything untoward will not happen. Value relative to price, I highly recommend.

Victorinox 48792 6 Piece Cutlery Steak Knife Set

Victorinox 48792 6 Piece Cutlery Steak Knife Set Overview

          When steak is on the menu, pull out this set of six steak knives from Victorinox (model 88792), each of which features a pointed tip and serrated edge. Because the blades are stamped rather than forged the price is kept reasonable, yet the high-carbon, stainless steel is extremely durable and the ground, tempered edges maintain their razor-sharpness for a considerable length of time. The molded polypropylene handles provide a sure grip, have no grooves or rivets to harbor bacteria, and are dishwasher-safe. All in all, the knives are lightweight, very sharp, and designed to slice through meat with ease.
          Started in 1884 in Switzerland, Victorinox is perhaps best known as the manufacturer of the Original Swiss Army Knife. Today Victorinox by R.H. Forschner makes everyday cutlery for the home as well as professional forged cutlery and multi-purpose tools. Hand-finished in Switzerland, the knives are covered by a lifetime warranty against defects.

Victorinox 48792 6 Piece Cutlery Steak Knife Set Review

          I decided to buy these after using one of Victorinox's other steak knives. Honestly, these are the best steak knives I've ever used. My guests were impressed when using these knives. They cut easily through meat, and can cut through soft bone. Don't let the plastic handles fool you, they're a lot sturdier than they look, and no, they don't look cheap at all. I'd recommend these to anyone looking to buy steak knives, you won't be disappointed.

Victorinox 8 Piece Knife Block Set Review

          I bought these through the Amazon Ware House Deals and they looked new to me . The Block had two extra slots and I added a 7 inch Santoku, plus an 8 inch Butcher knife . This set has a 4-inch paring; 6-inch boning; 8-inch chefs'; 8-inch Serrated edge bread; 10-inch slicing rounded end ; 10-inch sharpening steel; kitchen shears; slant hardwood block . These are stamped blades and thinner than some . But due to the metal tempering methods they have a high Rockwell hardness rating and will cut as well as most forged blades while retaining sharpness . When the need to sharpen comes along if you haven't tried to cut nails, used one for a pry bar, or tried to cut a beef leg bone (they make cleavers for that), etc., generally a few strokes on the steel does the job . Word of advice don't use an electric sharpener on any knife unless it's cheap, poor steel, and one you want to throw away soon . There are carbide, and ceramic, hand held V notched sharpeners that are easy to use and don't ruin a blade or its' temper . Victorinox gives a guide for sharpening on a steel and it works pretty well . My wife and I both have been impressed and pleased with the long term use of Victorinox knives . We do hand wash them, but most knives should be washed that way . I base my review on use of these and the use of approx. 80 sheath type hunting knives I own and use on butching large game . Some are ground blades, high carbon forged steel, some stainless, some costing hundreds of dollars and all high Rockwell rated . Believe me I know good steel when I use it . These are excellent kitchen cutlery for a reasonable price . Is there better out there ? Perhaps but get ready to dig deep in your wallet or purse when you buy them and expect little difference for everyday general kitchen duty.
