Victorinox CC265 Chefs Knife, Serrated Blade, Black, M

I used to be completely happy with Victorinox and Kitchen Devil serrated knives, the serrated 'everyday' ones which were about 18 cm or 20 cm long. They were excellent knives, and so cheap they could be relegated to the toolbox or craft drawers when too blunted for kitchen use, and simply replaced.However for some reason, some years back, the knives got shorter (EU regulations?...) and kitchen life became accordingly more difficult and frustrating. The maximum 16 cm serrated knives just aren't long enough for vegetable preparation and I ended up making two cuts instead of one most times - so double the time spent on simply cutting vegetables and fruit.I tried them all (not just Victorinox and Kitchen Devil but even the expensive ones), but whatever the design the problem remained: the knives were too short.Finally I decided to look at much bigger serrated knives and try them - although with some trepidation. After seeing the reviews here (many thanks, people!) I decided on this Victorinox 'Chef's Knife', not even considering the size by this time because I just needed a knife that *worked* for me.The knife arrived today, fortuitously just as I was about to cut a range of vegetables for the main meal of the day. Also fortuitously I needed to do lots of different cutting (slicing garlic cloves thinly, chopping ginger finely, deseeding and cutting chilli peppers into thin strips, slicing spring onions into coins), so I decided to put the newly-arrived knife through its paces with a vengeance.The knife performed brilliantly (and, despite the fact that it's much larger than any knife I've used before for general purposes and I hadn't used it before, I didn't even cut myself). The very thin point made deseeding chilli peppers etc. easy and the ergonomic handle which, despite being made of a hard substance, is 'soft' in the hand and gives an excellent grip, plus the incredible sharpness, made the food preparation a breeze.The large size of the knife didn't hamper me at all, despite this being the largest knife by far which I've ever used for general food preparation.Obviously I can't at this stage speak to the knife's longevity, but I took the recommendation of another reviewer here (again, many thanks) and bought a Victorinox Dual Knife Sharpener (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000AR7AKG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) for when I blunt the knife (I use glass chopping boards) and I'm impressed with that too and feel confident of being able to keep the knife in good nick (as it were).I will be getting a second one of these knives just as soon as I've recovered from the expenditure this time round; brilliant.

This is my second one now. As a chef I have plenty of knives and this is one that's always at hand. Nice size and weight with a sharp edge. Very versatile and easy to handle.

An excellent serrated knife which is very sharp and comes from a well known manufacturer.

Purchased to replace a couple of old, worn out kitchen knives. It's amazing how hard it is to find a serrated kitchen knife over 5 inches in length,apart from a bread knife. This Victorinox knife is super sharp, glides through the cutting of tomatoes/Peppers and vegetables etc. No more nasty cuts hopefully due to a semi blunt knife (🙏). Overall the knife is a perfect length, lightweight and comfortable.

I love these knives very ergonomically friendly. very sharp so be careful how you use them.

Great size, very sharp bargain!

Great knife for the professional chef

Nice knife

ben cuchillo, libiano pero muy resistente, excelente filo, no es necesario afilarlo

Un poco largo y en punta . Por lo demás es perfecto para trocear tomates

Good for chopping vegetables only.

J’aime bien Victorinox. Les aciers sont de qualité, je trouve les lames faciles à affiler et les manches sont confortables et non glissants. La gamme est très large et le prix sympa. J’utilise ce genre de couteau à découper avec dents pour débiter les gros poissons en portions en conservant l’arête, notamment les turbots qui font de très beaux pavés. Je me rends compte en écrivant ce commentaire que mes 5 derniers couteaux sont des Victorinox, et ce sont aussi probablement les 5 prochains.

Da anni uso coltelli victorinox. Ho scelto questo coltello perché trovo sia la dimensione giusta X un tagliere dalle dimensioni 'casalinghe'. In più ha la lama seghettata, con la comodità di avere la lama con il dente sporgente dal manico tipico del trinciante. Diverse volte ho avuto problemi di reperibilità nella mia regione, e inizialmente mi sono appoggiata a un sito privato....finalmente ho scoperto la praticità di usare amazon e trovare qualsiasi prodotto che già conosco e non riesco a reperire nella mia zona. Sono coltelli di buona fattura, molto affilati, non troppo costosi, molto leggeri e maneggevoli, rispettano i criteri dei coltelli professionali, ed esiste una gamma vasta,dai piccoli ai grandi, più tutti gli utensili. Io li consiglio spassionatamente
