FAQ

• How do I sharpen the Victorinox Fibrox?+

  Easier to sharpen than a Wüsthof because the steel is softer (56 HRC vs 58 HRC) — good news, the catch is the edge fades faster. Weekly 5-pass steel before each brisket, 1000/4000 stone every 4-6 months, symmetric ~15° angle per side. To start learning the stone, the Victorinox is the ideal "practice" knife because the edge forgives mistakes; once you have the technique, move to the Wüsthof.

• Dishwasher yes or no?+

  Technically Victorinox marks it dishwasher-safe — the Fibrox handle holds and the steel is stainless. In practice we advise against: alkaline detergent dulls the blade over time, bumps against other cutlery chip the edge, and a knife cleaned in 30 seconds by hand outlasts one through a 90-minute 70°C cycle. The "hand-wash every kitchen knife" rule still stands.

• What specific cuts is a 25cm carving knife for?+

  Long single-stroke cuts — the length lets you slice a 30cm brisket without sawing or angle changes mid-stroke. Specifically: 6-8mm cross-grain brisket slices, thin pork-leg slices, roast beef, whole turkey, large beef ribs. For burgers or small steaks it is overkill — use the 20cm chef from the Wüsthof set or an equivalent.

• Do culinary schools and restaurants really use it?+

  Yes — the Victorinox Fibrox is the issue knife at the Culinary Institute of America, Le Cordon Bleu and many Spanish schools. Reasons: Fibrox grip works with grease or blood, NSF certified (commercial use), decent Swiss stainless and a price that is replaceable if it breaks. In restaurant kitchens it is the "wardrobe staple" knife before you buy the carbon-steel Japanese.
