Victorinox Fibrox: Best Budget Chef's Knife

By www.Kitchenware-Extraordinaire.com

A question that pops up frequently is: what is the best budget knife? There are several fantastic knives, but with accompanying high prices. A normal chef's knife can cost up to $150 a piece. There is a notable option however, that can be highly recommended as the best budget chef's knife. It is the Victorinox Fibrox 8" chef's knife.

Across the internet and kitchenware magazines, this particular knife comes on top most of the time as the single best budget knife. It is normally ranked just a little bit lower than the top knife from Wusthof, but the price difference is enormous. All of the reviews and rankings I've looked at, have an unanimous conclusion: the Victorinox Fibrox line is the best budget kitchen cutlery available at the moment.

The interesting thing is that the Victorinox Fibrox line consists of stamped blades, and not, as the high-end knives, of forged blades. Often stamped knives cannot match forged knives, but as the productions techniques are becoming better and better, the differences become smaller. The Fibrox line proves that.

One of the reasons the Fibrox line ranks so high, is its sharpness. The blades are very sharp, and can easily be resharpened again and again. The edges have been subjected to special processes that are particular to Victorinox. Our conclusion is that the Victorinox Fibrox line, and especially the chef's knife, can match the quality of knives much more expensive, and provide excellent value for your money. You can chose to simply buy the standard 8 inch chef's knife, for about $25, or you can treat yourself to an entire set of 8 Fibrox knives. The cost of a set is about $150.
