- Pro: Superb edge retention means less time spent sharpening during shifts.
- Con: The included peeler is functional but feels less premium than the knives.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby needed to standardise its kitchen tools. Their team was using a mix of personal and low-quality knives, leading to inconsistency and slow prep times, especially during the busy tourist season.
"We were constantly having to sharpen or swap out knives, which was a real drag on our workflow. This Victorinox S853 knife set put everyone on the same page with top-quality tools. The team loves them, and you can see the difference in the speed and quality of our prep."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The bistro reported a significant improvement in efficiency, estimating that overall prep time for vegetables and fish was reduced by over 15%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unroll the wallet and inspect each item.
- Wash each knife and tool with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before first use.
- Familiarise yourself with the correct position for each knife in the wallet to ensure safe storage.
- Designate a clean, secure area on your countertop or prep station for the knives while in use.
Keeping It Going
- Hone the blades regularly with the included sharpening steel (a few strokes per side) to maintain the edge.
- While dishwasher safe, hand-washing is always best for preserving the blade's ultimate sharpness.
- Always dry knives completely before returning them to the roll wallet to prevent any moisture build-up.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like stone, metal, or glass, as this will dull the blade quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What specific knives are included in the Victorinox S853 set?
A: This 11-piece set contains two different sized Cook's Knives, a Serrated Slicer, Fillet Knife, Boning Knife, Paring Knife, Turning Knife, Palette Knife, Carving Fork, a Sharpening Steel, and a Peeler.
Q: Are these Victorinox chef knives forged or stamped?
A: These are professional-grade stamped blades. This process makes them lighter and more flexible than forged knives, which many chefs prefer for fast-paced, high-volume prep work.
Q: What is a 'turning knife' for?
A: A turning knife has a short, curved, bird's-beak-shaped blade. It’s perfect for intricate, in-hand work like peeling round fruits, creating decorative garnishes, or carving tourné vegetables.
Q: How often should I use the sharpening steel?
A: The steel is for 'honing' or realigning the blade's edge. It's best practice to give the knife a few gentle strokes on the steel before each major use to keep it perfectly sharp.
Q: Can I put these knives in my commercial dishwasher?
A: Yes, the knives and their Fibrox handles are designed to be dishwasher safe for convenience. However, to maximise the life of the blade's sharp edge, hand-washing is always recommended.
Q: Is the roll wallet suitable for a working chef?
A: Absolutely. The wallet is made from a durable material designed to safely store and protect the blades during transport, making it ideal for professional use.
Q: What's the main benefit of the Fibrox handle material?
A: The primary benefit is safety and comfort. It provides a secure, non-slip grip even when wet or oily, and its ergonomic shape helps reduce hand fatigue during long shifts.
Q: Are these suitable for a professional butchery setting?
A: Yes, the inclusion of a boning knife, fillet knife, and sharp cook's knives makes this a very capable set for many daily butchery and fish preparation tasks.

Ever tried to finely chop herbs with wet hands? It can be a recipe for disaster. That's precisely the problem Victorinox's Fibrox handles were designed to solve. Think of it like the difference between summer tyres and all-weather tyres on a car; Fibrox provides a secure grip even when things get a bit slick. The handle is made from a unique thermoplastic elastomer that's hygienic, non-slip, and feels surprisingly comfortable in the hand. This dramatically reduces the risk of accidents and minimises hand fatigue during those long, repetitive prep sessions, making your kitchen a safer and more efficient place.
