Victorinox 12 Inch Fibrox Pro Slicing Knife with Granton Blade

Very sharp and thin. Cuts like butter. Looks sleek. Comfortable grip and functions as should. Great value.

I purchased this for my husband to use when he makes brisket. Very easy to use, a perfect slice every time.

The knife arrived in an oversized clear plastic sleeve, which is not really great for storage exactly...so, that detail I need to work out. But that is not really a knife critique. This knife came out of the package sharp as a razor. The handle is textured, and I think that it allows for a secure grip even with wet or slippery hands. The handle may be a bit short, but that is a nitpick thing that I do not think is of any real concern. The blade is thin, and I used it twice immediately to see how well it cut: First, to cut cooked strip steaks for "presentation" (I wanted to see how well this thing sliced). Like a hot knife through butter (no pun really intended, but it is an opportunistic metaphor). Second, to open a two-bone rib roast vacuum bag, and slice the rib roast into two (gigantic) steaks. The plastic bags I use for vacuum packing/freezing are pretty thick, and while not really that difficult to cut open, if your knife is not optimum sharp, you need to have a little bit of tension on the bag to get it to cut. With this knife, I had no issues. I had decided to "butcher" the rib roast (by cutting it in half) anyway, and this thin blade was the perfect tool. Two perfect steaks, and I could tell that this was a definite purpose slicing blade...I could tell that this was a thin blade design, and really sharp. I purchased this to cut brisket. I am smoking a brisket today, and I fully expect perfect slices with this knife. This brand came highly recommended, and I think that I agree. Hoping that the edge stays sharp... I am looking at a butcher essentials set from Victorinox, as well...might as well get some real tools that are right for the job.

Excellent. Good quality, easy to use

Husbands uses this knife to cut his brisket, it is very sharp. Cuts easily and cleans well. We keep it in the storage sleeve in between uses.

Nice meat slicer! It is sharp and cuts through the meats very easy. Would spend the extra money to buy again.

The Victorinox knives are always of very good quality and reasonably priced. This knife is perfect for thin (or thick) slices of beef (my primary use for it is brisket) and turkey breast - really any boneless cut of meat of medium to large size. It is probably too wide to be a successful replacement for a salmon slicer of similar length. The Fibrox handle provides an excellent non-slip grip and it holds its edge very well. The only thing preventing a 5 star rating is a nit pick - the bolster projects a tiny bit below the edge of the blade preventing complete contact between the full blade and the cutting board. While in actual use this is not a major issue, it is the only thing holding back perfection.

It is an absolute unit. Slices my brisket thin and uniform with zero effort. Just buy it

Nice and sharp

Sure makes carving easier than just a large kitchen knife. Was nice nice and sharp. Chose this brand as I know it, had some growing up and had a large bread knife for several years that has been great.

This knife was recommended by America Test Kitchen .It is excellent as advertised .A very good addition to our knife selection .It cut thru a boneless lamb roast on the weekend .Perfect slices .Like cutting thru butter.

It took almost one (1) month to get this knife from the supplier (and I am a PRIME member!). Horrible, horrible wait time on this item! Tried contacting the supplier (not an Amazon filled item) and that experience was dreadful! Beware, All!!

I love this knife. Cuts brisket like its butter. Very sharp and feels nice in the hand.
