The amazing value in Victorinox knives

[King of the Cheese]

So I bought these knives about a year ago and these 4” bad boys do everything I need, and all these were $18!! Can you believe it?!

Anyway, what do you all think? I really enjoy the economic knives of Victorinox over any of the high dollar BS. I use these every day.

I have 2 Victorinox pairing knives of similar construction, though fine-edged, and I like them both very much- especially for the money. I’m also temped by the Opinel paring knives, though I have yet to acquire some.

I typically tape several to the back of my kid’s hands so he can pretend to be Wolverine.

Yes, they are good for the money.

I believe you.

My wife and I were in the Grand Prairie Knives store about 12 years ago. I bought other knives but she picked this one up for herself. It's been a great knife and it's still going strong. I don't remember how much it cost but it certainly was a good value.

They’re incredibly rust resistant aren’t they?

Rust? What's that?

In general, I think victorinox turns out a quality product for a fair price. I've got a chefs knife that is outstanding, never mind all the saks

I went with Z-cuts.

Aren’t those like $22 a pop? I got all 4 for $18.

Good on you, but its price is not the be-all end-all attribute of a knife.

It sort of is if I’m talking about knives that are $4.50 each and you bust out a pic of a $22 knife.

I mean, cool, I’ll see your z cuts and raise you these:

A lot of commercial meat cutters choose Victorinox knives.

I pieced together a complete set of Victorinox kitchen knives after years of using crap and it is so much nicer. I don’t care what the Vic paring knife costs, it is 10x more useful than my CRK.

Have you tried that folding version with the liner lock? I have one. A little lock sticky but a neat concept. $17.

I recently got a few of these Victorinox Vent/Boning/Poultry knives and am pleased. Larger handle, flat grind blade. For $6 - $8 each I give them away to friends.

I do have a couple of the 4" serrated ones like the OP. Good sandwich knives. I have my eye on one of those folding ones. That would be handy for travel.

I own five different Victorinox kitchen knives that I use for all my kitchen chores. The Santoku, a serrated paring knife, a plain paring knife, a serrated, round-tipped utility (like the ones pictured in the OP), and a small, hook-bladed fruit knife. The most expensive by far was the Santoku, which I got at a kitchen supply store for around $40. Excellent performance and value, easy maintenance, and ridiculously easy to touch up/resharpen. They’re the only kitchen knives I need.

*I realize that last sentence sounds corny like a commercial, but it’s actually the truth.
