Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox 46892 Fibrox 3-Piece Chef's Knife Set
Customer Review: Size matters
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I've never used a "good" set of knives before, I didn't rate these a "five" because I don't have the experience to know if they get any better. I can hardly imagine better. They make food prep a relative breeze. When I went shopping for these, I was actually just looking for one 8-inch chef's knife, a specific type, not just a description. The Vicorinox brand had gotten the highest marks from "Cook's Illustrated" besting much more expensive knives. However, nowhere in the product description or in any of the reviews could I find out what each of these knives were: I ordered them anyway. They are a 10-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch slicer and a 6-inch parer. I might have been happier with just the 8-inch chef knife, but this way I have three really good knives, not just one.Customer Review: I like the little one the best
Summary: 4 Stars
The large one feels a bit too large to me. I rarely use it but when I do it works perfectly so the set gets a 4 star instead of a 3. The middle sized one, thin and long feels a bit too long to use well. I don't typically use it unless it seems to fit the project. Maybe this is more about my and my small hands and knife experience than the knives though which is, again, why they get a 4 star rating from me.
The little one is a beloved knife to me. I use it all the time and it stays sharp and splendid. It fits great in my hand and slices really well. It is truly a joy to use. I always make sure it is clean and dry for my next use. I'd love a whole set of this size knife.
Customer Review: Great knives
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased this knife set for my son for Christmas, after reading good reviews. The knives have met all my expectations so far. They are very sharp, and the fibrox handles are substantial, non-slip, and comfortatble. The first test was 4 butternut squash my son volunteered to peel and cut up for Christmas dinner. Cutting hard squash is a task I don't look forward to, but the paring knife did the peeling, and the chef's knife did the chopping, with no problem. I then borrowed the paring knife to cut up an onion, and was amazed at how easily it went through the onion compared to the Chicago Cutlery I've used for years. For less than $50, I'm ready to buy another set for myself!Customer Review: Great quality, and when on sale, value can't be beat.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my set from amazon's warehouse at a discount because the box was torn. As I was buying them for myself, that wasn't in issue for me and saved me a decent amount.
For years, over 25, I've had a great knife made from Brazilian steel. Great handle, and held an edge for all 25 plus years. Alas, it no longer does.
I bought some decent knives at stores, but none held an edge for very long.
I read reviews on these and since I was able to get them at a really good price, I went made the purchase.
I am glad I did. These knives are sharp and well made.
Customer Review: A bit disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
When I received these knives in the mail, I was disappointed by a few things. The blades did not feel weighted correctly. They felt way too light and therefore did not have a balance to them that we had sought out in knives previously. Also, I knew the description said 10" for the chef's knife, but I did not expect the size still. It was huge. I don't know that I ever would have used it. My boyfriend went to buy different knives at Bed, Bath and Beyond and ended up with a 3 set of Henckley knives for the same price, which felt much better to hold. I cannot comment on the blades as I never used the knives.
