Victorinox Wood Chef's Knife 12in Blade Rosewood Handle 5.2000.31

Victorinox Wood Chef’s Knife 12in Blade with Rosewood Handle is built for cooks who want reach, control, and dependable cutting power in one straightforward tool. Made by Victorinox, Makers of the Original Swiss Army Knife, it reflects Swiss engineering that favors performance over pretense, giving you a long-bladed workhorse designed for serious kitchen use.

At the core is a 12-inch (310 mm) blade that delivers extended cutting length for clean, efficient strokes. The blade width measures 2 1/4 inches at the handle, giving you solid knuckle clearance so you can work fast over deep boards and large ingredients without scraping or hesitation. This added space makes a real difference when you’re breaking down bulk produce, slicing roasts, or working through long prep sessions where rhythm matters.

The blade is crafted from Victorinox Proprietary Stainless Steel, chosen for its balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It’s cold-tempered and ice-hardened, a process that strengthens the steel structure and helps it hold up under repeated use. Built as stamped steel rather than forged, it keeps a consistent profile while maintaining a practical weight that doesn’t slow you down at the board. The hardness rating sits between 55–56 HRC, striking a reliable balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance, so you’re not fighting your edge to keep it working.

The edge profile is a double bevel (50:50 ratio) with a normal straight edge, giving you predictable slicing behavior and easy sharpening. It tracks cleanly through ingredients without wandering, letting you work with confidence whether you’re doing fine cuts or heavy chopping.

The handle is made from premium rosewood, secured with triple rivets for long-term durability and structural integrity. It brings a natural warmth and solid feel to the knife, with a shape that sits firmly in the hand and supports controlled, steady cutting. The wood grain gives each knife a slightly unique character, but the performance stays consistent—solid grip, balanced feel, and dependable handling through extended use.

Manufactured in Switzerland, this knife carries Victorinox’s reputation for practical, no-nonsense craftsmanship. It’s dishwasher safe for convenience, though hand washing is always recommended if you want to preserve the edge and maintain the finish of the rosewood handle over time.

This is a long-blade chef’s knife built for reach, stability, and everyday durability—simple, strong, and ready for demanding kitchen work without complication.
