Sure, the Victorinox Steak Knife will make it easier to cut your steak; but it also enables a more wonderful evening full of good conversation with good friends. And that's because its ergonomic handle disappears into the hand and the ultra-sharp blade cuts effortlessly, so the focus stays on the menu and the moment.
Fillet, rump, sirloin or onglet, whichever cut you choose, our Steak Knife is its ultimate go-to partner. Fitting neatly into the palm of your hand, it gracefully glides against the grain, leaving you to savor the flavor. We offer two types of steak knife: straight edge and wavy edge. True meat connoisseurs prefer the straight edge, so as not to tear the meat. The wavy edge makes the knife more of an allrounder however – it’s also ideal for slicing pizza.

When it’s time to turn that beautiful fish into filets, count on the Fish Filleting Knife. With its incredibly sharp and flexible blade, you'll have the agility and cutting power you need to create perfect filets every time. So you can sit your guests down to a beautiful fish dish that they'll never forget.
This blade is exceptionally on point for fish. Long, lean and slightly tapered, it is flexible enough to negotiate a myriad of fish bones with A-game agility. The result is a clean, perfectly filleted dish that looks beautifully presented on the plate. We offer two blade sizes, 16 cm and 20 cm. The rule here is to choose a knife that is approximately 5 cm larger than the fish you are filleting. This means the 16 cm blade is better suited to trout or mackerel, while the 20 cm blade is ideal for medium to large fish like salmon or catfish.
Our tip: The length and flexible blade of a Filleting Knife also make it an excellent choice for peeling an orange.
The fluted edge and straighter blade make the Santoku Knife a trusted kitchen all-rounder. The flutes ensure that food doesn’t stick to the blade when cutting, making slicing anything from meat, fish, vegetables to fruit feel effortless. The straight edge blade is suitable for chopping, slicing and dicing, helping you to cut more precisely but with ease.
Our tip: We offer this knife both with and without fluted blade. While the non-fluted blade might make long-term sharpening easier, we recommend the fluted edge, for the ease and precision it gives to any slicing task.
