Five knives every kitchen should have
Read why these five knives belong in every knife block
The right knife can make all the difference in the kitchen. It makes prep easier, faster, and far more enjoyable. At Victorinox, we’ve spent decades perfecting the craft of precise, durable, ultra-sharp knives. These five are essentials in any kitchen.
Bread knife
Wavy, sharp, and ultra-strong, this long-bladed knife cuts cleanly through crusty loaves, tough melons, and pumpkins without crushing or slipping. It effortlessly handles foods that challenge standard knives and is your essential tool for controlled slices every time.
Where perfect form and function fuse: our 17-cm Wood Santoku Knife with fluted edge is inspired by Japanese kitchen knives, world renowned for their exacting precision and robust culinary blueprint. It takes its name from the translation of ‘knife of three virtues,’ and lives up to it with multifunctional mastery. Add to this the warmth and elegance of the wooden handle and you'll easily be gliding through myriad meat cuts, fish, fruit and vegetables with equal finesse; it’s a keeper.
Santoku Knife
With a wide, fluted-edge blade and gently curved tip, this all-rounder excels at chopping, fine slicing, and dicing. Lighter and shorter than a traditional chef’s knife, it delivers cleaner cuts and greater control. Ideal for fast, precise prep and beautifully presented meals.
Because carving should be effortless, Victorinox has created the Swiss Classic Chef’s Knife to ensure smooth, uniform cuts every time. The ergonomic handle and balanced design ensure absolute stability on the cutting board. The slender, super sharp blade allows you to slice all kinds of meat with superior grace and precision.

The right knife doesn’t just make your tasks easier; it transforms the way you cook.
