Victorinox Fibrox Cimeter Knife Black 10 in

This knife is very nice and well made. It feels sturdy and comfortable in the hand, and the blade is sharp right out of the box. It cuts smoothly and makes food prep much easier. I also like the clean, elegant design. For the price, the quality is excellent. I would definitely recommend this knife for everyday use.

The knife looks great. It's very sharp. I'll let you know how it performs after I cut up a big Rib Eye. The blade is a little on the thin side, but it appears to be a good value for the price. I like that the grip seems to be very durable. The merchant however was a little lax in the packaging. It was shipped in a plastic bag, and when I received it the knife blade was sticking out of the bag.

Excellent Knife!! My wife loves this knife as it cuts through everything with ease and stays sharp! Do not hesitate to purchase this Knife!

Before going any further with quality (which is amazing), you must understand that this knife is massive. It measures in at around twenty inches (give or take a few) with 14 inches of blade with the actual cutting edge being closer to 16 inches due to the upturned tip. If you only cook in an average kitchen, go with a smaller knife (say a ten inch blade). However, you might say something like, "but I need a big knife to do some big jobs." If that is what you are thinking, try using a machete as a tool in the space that you will be using this knife (seriously, I'm not joking: I have machetes that are shorter than this knife). If the size of the machete is no hindrance, than this is a good knife for you. If you find yourself skewering objects that you aren't intending to skewer or being blocked or cramped, then get a shorter knife. This knife will require 2'x3' box of open space to really be able to take advantage of the length of the blade. If, however, you work in a commercial kitchen and regularly break down large hunks of things to a smaller size (not just critters, but vegetation too) than this is an amazing knife. Out of the box, it was sharp enough to shave the hair off of my arm and stayed that way with regular use of a honing steel for well over four months. That was with daily use doing everything from cutting melons, to prepping 10 lb and up roasts, to carving briskets and even many tasks that you would normally use a chef's knife for but I used this simply because I had it handy. The lack of a granton edge on it made for thin slices of ham and the like a bit tricky, but it was still manageable. It's tough enough to take apart winter squash without being dangerous and yet well balanced enough to slice tomatoes for sandwiches. During my job as the sole cook for a retreat center, there were weeks that I didn't even use another knife because this one is so versatile. I could move from slicing oranges to slicing a roast to finely dicing onions, to even dicing shallots with only quick cleanings in between. The only things I really haven't done with this knife are break down beef primals or big saltwater fish, but I can't imagine that this knife would do anything but laugh and ask for a real challenge. This knife will easily cut a whole chicken in half (bones and all), but big beef bones will likely stop it (but you'd use a hatchet or saw on those anyways). All in all, this is a great knife for any job. There may be better knives than this for small, precise tasks, but this knife will still do anything you ask. *One word of caution - this knife's point is about an inch higher than you think it is, so watch that you don't accidentally poke the fleshy part of your off hand while maneuvering food like I did many times before I got used to the point. Also, watch your fingers; this knife will cut through a three inch thick carrot without stopping...

Great looking knife, will use it over the holidays. Great seller, took over two weeks to receive, not the sellers fault. just got lost by USPS. will buy from them again.

I bought this knife for my husband, who like to buy thick tomahawk steaks and slice them into thinner portions. He hasn’t used it for meat yet but I used it on a butternut squash. It handled the tough, dense flesh of the squash quite nicely, way better than our other knives I’ve used. I can’t wait to see how it works on the steaks. The blade is long and sharp and I anticipate it not having a problem slicing through meat.

Great breaking blade. Used this knife for the qurbani sacrifice on Eid Al adha. One pass of the blade up and down was all it took. Razor sharp!

Sometimes you need a little more than 10" to keep from running the handle into the meat using a long stroke, that is what this is for. Most people aren't going to need this knife and many will gush about out of the box edge on this one but especially the 10" and how long it lasted. That's great that they are happy but none of that really matters long term. It's a good knife and a really good buy, it is thick behind the edge like all these Victorinox knives and really won't start to shine until you get a whetstone and thin it down a bit. I'm a right handed push cutter so I like the primary bevel a little flatter on the left side and get going on this with a stone in the 300 - 400 range, you can go down to 120 but you have to be careful not to screw up your new knife. About 30 minutes of slow and careful thinning moving up to 800 - 1000 grit has it where I want it, then to maintain just a few strokes on a 2000 to the secondary cutting bevel every two or three days, then going back to thinning only when needed and you start to get resistance sliding through cuts. Learn how to do this and this and the 10" cim as well as the 8" breaking and a 6" trim knife will be all you ever need, unless you have a favorite little knife which the 6" or 8" can turn into over time. These and Dexter are in my opinion the only knives there are for working people, Dexter has a great shaped 6" curved trim and the handle is gold but I don't really care for their cim options.

Money well spent! Saw this product from a youtuber and buy to try. Exceeded my expectation!

Love it. Regularly use it for larger jobs like cutting steaks, roasts etc from large cuts of beef.

Llego muy rapido y es de esperarse el producto es de muy buena calidad. Muy buen filo del cuchillo

This knife is easy to handle . sharp as a pin and holds an edge extremely well. For the money, it's a deal!

Todos los productos Victorinox para mi son garantia de calidad, el unico detalle es la presentacion de como me lo entregaron, estaba suelto en plastico de burbujas, aparenta un producto de menor prestigio, no le hace justicia a la marca que representa, saludos..
