Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Seaside Graze," a popular delicatessen in Brighton, was struggling with inconsistent slicing for their artisan sandwiches and charcuterie boards, leading to food waste and slow service during tourist season.
"Our old knives would just tear the tomatoes and crusty bread. We switched to the Victorinox serrated parers and the difference was instant. Every slice is clean, quick, and perfect. They just work, all day long."
Samuel Jones – Head of Prep
The switch resulted in a 30% reduction in prep time for their best-selling tomato and mozzarella ciabatta, significantly improving their lunchtime workflow.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give the knife a quick wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Always be mindful of the ultrasharp pointed tip, especially when unpacking.
- There's no setup needed – it's ready for action straight out of the box!
Keeping It in Top Shape
- Hand-washing is always best to protect the blade's edge and handle integrity.
- Avoid abrasive scourers; a simple sponge or cloth is all you need.
- Store it in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, or in a sheath to protect the edge from damage.
- Serrated knives don't need regular sharpening like straight blades, but a specialist sharpener can be used periodically to refresh the edge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a serrated edge paring knife for chefs best used for?
A: It excels at slicing foods with waxy, tough, or delicate skins like tomatoes, lemons, limes, sausages, and crusty bread rolls, without crushing the soft interior.
Q: Is this Victorinox knife dishwasher safe?
A: While the materials are dishwasher safe, we always recommend hand-washing high-quality knives to maintain the sharpness of the blade and the longevity of the handle.
Q: How do you sharpen a serrated utility knife?
A: Serrated blades don't require sharpening as often as straight blades. When needed, they require a special ceramic or diamond sharpening rod to hone each serration individually.
Q: What is the handle made from?
A: The black handle is made from durable, non-slip, and hygienic polypropylene, which is ideal for the demands of a busy commercial kitchen.
Q: Is the pointed tip useful?
A: Absolutely. The pointed tip is perfect for piercing skins before slicing, coring fruits like apples, or doing intricate decorative work and garnishes.
Q: Can this knife peel vegetables?
A: While it can, a traditional straight-edged paring knife or a dedicated peeler is generally more efficient for peeling tasks.
Q: Is this knife suitable for professional, high-volume use?
A: Yes, this commercial paring knife Victorinox is specifically designed for the rigours of a professional kitchen environment, offering durability and consistent performance.
Q: What makes Victorinox knives a good choice for kitchens?
A: Victorinox has a long-standing reputation for Swiss-made quality, using high-carbon stainless steel that provides excellent edge retention and rust resistance, making them a reliable investment.

Explore more from VictorinoxHow a Serrated Edge Grips Where Others Slip
Ever tried to slice a ripe tomato with a slightly dull knife, only to squash it? That's where a serrated edge, like the one on this Victorinox CX746 paring knife, really shines. Think of it like the tread on a tyre. A smooth, straight blade can sometimes slide across a slippery surface, but the small 'teeth' of the serrated edge are designed to bite into the skin first. This breaks the surface tension and allows the rest of the blade to slice through cleanly without needing to apply heavy pressure. It’s the secret to perfect, intact slices of soft fruits, crusty bread, and delicate pastries every single time.
