The Victorinox Wood 8" Chef's Knife is a Swiss-made kitchen workhorse with a high-carbon stainless steel blade and a modified maple handle. The blade is hardened to 56 Rockwell and ground to a 15° double bevel on both sides, so it takes a keen edge and cuts cleanly through vegetables, herbs and proteins. It sits between budget stamped knives and heavy forged German-style chef's knives: lighter and thinner than a Wüsthof or Zwilling, but with better steel and finish than most entry-level blades. It suits home cooks who want one dependable all-purpose knife without the weight or upkeep of a full forged knife.
