- Con: The beautiful wooden handle requires hand-washing to preserve its quality and longevity.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Head in York, a bustling gastropub famed for its Sunday roast, needed a knife that could keep up with demand without constant sharpening. Their existing knives were struggling to provide clean cuts through the busiest part of the day, slowing down service.
"The difference was immediate. The Victorinox glides through beef and lamb effortlessly, giving us perfect, consistent slices from the first customer to the last. It just holds its edge so well, which is exactly what we needed for our back-to-back Sunday sittings."
Michael Davies – Head Chef
After switching, the pub noted a significant improvement, reducing carving time per joint by over 15% and ensuring every plate met their high standards for presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Before first use, wash the knife by hand with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Always use this knife with a wooden or plastic chopping board to protect the edge.
- Familiarise yourself with the knife's balance and weight before tackling large jobs.
Keeping It in Top Condition
- Hand-wash only. Dishwashers will damage the wooden handle and can dull the blade.
- Dry the knife immediately after washing to prevent water spots and protect the handle.
- Use a honing steel regularly to realign the blade's edge and maintain its sharpness.
- Store safely on a magnetic knife rack or in a knife block to prevent accidents and blade damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Victorinox wooden handled carving knife 19cm dishwasher safe?
A: No. To preserve the quality and integrity of the beautiful maple wood handle, this knife should always be washed by hand and dried immediately.
Q: What is the best way to keep this knife sharp?
A: Regular use of a honing steel will maintain the blade's edge. For a full re-sharpen, a whetstone or professional sharpening service is recommended.
Q: Can I use this knife to cut through bones?
A: No, this is a slicing and carving knife designed for meat. Using it on bones can chip or damage the fine blade. Use a cleaver or boning knife for that task.
Q: What is high-carbon stainless steel?
A: It's a type of steel that combines the excellent edge retention of high-carbon steel with the corrosion and rust resistance of stainless steel, making it ideal for professional kitchens.
Q: Is the handle made from real wood?
A: Yes, it features a stylish and ergonomic handle made from traditional maple wood.
Q: How long is the blade?
A: The blade measures 19cm, or 7 inches, which is a versatile size for most common roasts and poultry.
Q: What is the main advantage of an 'ice-tempered' blade?
A: Ice-tempering hardens the steel, making the blade tougher and allowing it to hold its sharp edge for significantly longer than non-tempered blades.
Q: Is this knife suitable for a busy commercial kitchen?
A: Absolutely. It's designed by Victorinox, a brand trusted by chefs worldwide, for the rigours of professional use.

Explore more from VictorinoxWhy an Ice-Tempered Blade Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what 'ice-tempered' actually means? Think of it like a secret weapon for steel. During manufacturing, the blade is heated to an extreme temperature and then rapidly cooled to below freezing. This process, known as cryogenic tempering, fundamentally changes the steel's molecular structure.
Imagine the molecules in regular steel are like a jumbled pile of bricks. Ice-tempering forces them into a much tighter, more organised, and uniform pattern. The result? A blade that is significantly harder and more durable, allowing it to hold a razor-sharp edge for far longer than a standard blade. For you, that means less time sharpening and more time getting perfect, effortless slices, shift after shift.
