The Viking Professional 8-inch chef's knife is a German-made, full-tang blade in X50CrMoV15 steel hardened to 55–60 HRC. That steel is the same family used by Wüsthof and Zwilling, so it holds a working edge well and resists corrosion, though it is softer than Japanese carbon and alloy steels. The full tang and molded handle give it a balanced, sturdy feel for everyday chopping, slicing and rock-chopping. It sits in the same class as mainstream German chef's knives: competent all-round steel, a lifetime warranty, and a dishwasher-safe rating that most rivals discourage.
