The Victorinox 8” Extra Wide Chef’s Knife with a Granton edge is a powerhouse in the kitchen, purpose-built for chefs who want bold control and confident cuts with every slice. Made in Switzerland by Victorinox, Makers of the Original Swiss Army Knife, this knife combines professional-grade materials with thoughtful design—resulting in a tool that’s as versatile as it is precise. From dicing dense vegetables to carving through large cuts of meat, this knife handles it all with ease, power, and balance.
Its 8” extra wide blade is crafted from Victorinox’s proprietary stainless steel, known for its impressive edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance. The extra width isn’t just about aesthetics—it adds stability and heft, giving you better leverage and more control during heavy-duty prep. Whether you’re breaking down a butternut squash or working through a mountain of herbs, the wider blade creates a comfortable cutting angle and makes transferring ingredients from board to pan more efficient.
The Granton edge adds another layer of performance. With its series of small hollowed-out grooves along the sides of the blade, food is less likely to stick as you cut. This makes for cleaner slices and less friction—especially helpful when working with moist ingredients like fish, meats, or juicy produce. It’s a feature that serious cooks quickly grow to appreciate.
The .06” blade thickness offers just the right amount of flex and rigidity, and the hidden tang provides strength without adding bulk. At 13.5” overall and weighing 9.1 ounces, this chef’s knife feels substantial in the hand without being unwieldy. The weight is distributed beautifully to support a variety of grips, whether you favor the classic pinch grip or prefer a more forward hold for chopping power.
Its black Fibrox handle is ergonomically designed for comfort and control. Slip-resistant even when wet, the handle ensures a steady grip throughout long prep sessions. It’s built to withstand the challenges of a busy kitchen while remaining lightweight and easy to maneuver. Durable and low-maintenance, the Fibrox handle complements the blade’s performance with an emphasis on safety and user confidence.
Victorinox’s reputation for excellence is built into every inch of this chef’s knife. It’s designed to meet the needs of professionals, but accessible and approachable enough for home cooks who want to invest in quality that lasts.
