Perfect for your largest tasks, the 12" Fibrox Pro Chef’s is a true workhorse, offering you the extra leverage you need to slice through all your toughest foods.

The longer cutting edge also allows you to do more at once.

The length also gives you the ability to keep the tip of the blade firmly ed on the cutting board, while raising the heel of the over the item that you are cutting, offering better control.

A well-known manufacturer of butcher scales, Forschner soon became the exclusive U.S. distributor for Victorinox knives, and was the name by which Victorinox knives were known. In 2011 Victorinox began marketing all its product lines, including kitchen knives, under the common umbrella name by which the company is now popularly known – Victorinox Swiss Army. Care and Use Be good to your knives and they’ll be good to you. Following these simple guidelines will ensure that you get the longest life out of your ! Hand Washing Victorinox Swiss Army recommends washing all knives by hand. For best results, hand wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately. Dishwasher While Fibrox Pro knives are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing as dishwashers are designed to spray water at a relatively high pressure, which can jostle the silverware and cause the knives to collide, dulling the edge. Maintaining your ’s Edge For optimum performance, knives should be honed after every couple of uses. Proper and frequent honing will keep your knives sharper and performing at their best, but remember that a honing steel will not sharpen a dull . Honing steels are maintenance tools and are used to help keep an already sharp blade from degrading. During use, a edge becomes rolled or turned from direct contact with cutting boards, s or other hard objects. In this case, honing is necessary to straighten the edge of the . After significant use, the steel particles become damaged and the edge cannot be brought back by honing, so sharpening is necessary. If your knives are dull, pitted, or you see visible nicks on the cutting edge, you’ll need to sharpen with a Swiss Sharp Handheld Sharpener (49002) or bring to a professional for re-sharpening. History and Heritage In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and the cutlers’ union he formed produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professional and home cooks. In 1891, Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s and in 1897 with the Officer’s . In 1921, after the death of his mother, Victoria, and with the advent of stainless steel, then known as “inoxydable” and used in the production of his cutlery, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.
