At the core of the Grand Maître Chef’s Knife is an 8-inch plain edge blade made from Victorinox Proprietary stainless steel. Expertly forged, the blade boasts excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and an easy-to-maintain cutting surface. Its classic chef’s profile makes it versatile enough for a wide range of tasks, from slicing vegetables and chopping herbs to breaking down meats and filleting fish. The curved belly of the blade is perfect for a natural rocking motion, making it ideal for long prep sessions that demand precision and consistency.
Forged from a single piece of steel, this knife offers a full, hidden tang construction that provides impressive balance and weight distribution. It feels solid and secure in hand without being overly heavy—at just 5.6 ounces and 13.5 inches overall, it’s light enough to move with ease but strong enough to handle tough cuts with confidence. You’ll notice the balance immediately when you pick it up, and that well-crafted feel is what turns a good knife into a trusted favorite.
The handle is forged from durable POM (polyoxymethylene), a synthetic material valued in professional kitchens for its strength, resistance to heat, and longevity. This sleek black handle is sculpted for comfort, providing a secure, ergonomic grip that supports extended use without fatigue. It's also easy to clean and maintain, making it perfect for fast-paced environments or home kitchens where hygiene and performance matter equally.
What truly sets the Grand Maître line apart is its seamless transition between blade and handle. There are no gaps, no harsh edges—just smooth, flowing lines that elevate the experience of using the knife. Every detail has been considered, from the precision-forged bolster to the weight distribution that ensures every cut feels deliberate and fluid.
The Victorinox 8” Grand Maître Chef’s Knife isn’t just a tool—it’s an extension of your skill and style in the kitchen. Whether you’re crafting a fine dining dish or slicing produce for a simple weeknight meal, it provides the control and elegance you want in your most trusted blade.
