At the heart of this knife is a 12-inch Victorinox Proprietary stainless steel blade, engineered to offer a perfect balance of sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The extra-wide cimeter profile gives the blade both heft and grace, making it ideal for slicing large cuts of meat, breaking down roasts, trimming briskets, or even handling wild game. With a gentle curve along its edge and a long, sweeping belly, this knife excels at creating clean, efficient slices with minimal effort.
The .12-inch blade thickness adds just the right amount of rigidity and control without feeling cumbersome. Whether you’re working through fat, muscle, or bone, the cimeter’s shape and build help guide the blade effortlessly through every cut. Its sweeping motion minimizes drag and keeps your slices even and smooth—exactly what you want when prepping meats for presentation or processing.
Fitted with a hidden tang for balanced handling, the Victorinox 12” Cimeter features a black Fibrox handle known for its durability, hygiene, and superior grip. The ergonomic shape provides comfort during long prep sessions, while the textured surface ensures a secure hold even when your hands are wet or greasy. Fibrox handles are resistant to slipping, staining, and bacteria buildup, making them a favorite in both professional kitchens and butcher shops.
This knife measures 18 inches overall and weighs just 12 ounces, giving you a surprisingly lightweight feel for such a large, robust blade. That means better control, less fatigue, and more confidence whether you’re breaking down whole primals or portioning steaks with precision. The long blade gives you reach and cutting power, while the comfortable handle design ensures that power never comes at the cost of control.
Victorinox’s commitment to quality, function, and innovation shines in every detail of this knife. Designed for real-world performance, the 12” Cimeter is tough enough for commercial use yet accessible enough for the home kitchen.
