Victorinox Swiss Modern Chef's Knife

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity and finish of the sustainably sourced European walnut handle, we recommend hand-washing the knife with mild soap and drying it immediately.

A standard chef's knife is typically 8 inches long. The 6-inch blade on this Swiss Modern model offers more agility and precision, making it an excellent choice for smaller hands or for tasks that require more control, such as peeling or intricate vegetable prep.

This knife features a stamped construction. Stamped blades are generally thinner and lighter, which contributes to the knife's 2.5-ounce weight and makes it exceptionally easy to maneuver during long prep sessions.

Because the handle is made from natural wood, it is best to avoid soaking it in water or exposing it to extreme heat. Periodically applying a food-safe wood oil can help keep the walnut hydrated and prevent it from drying out over time.

While the stainless steel blade is razor-sharp and durable, it is designed for general culinary tasks like slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables or proteins. We recommend using a heavier, thicker-bladed knife for high-impact tasks like breaking down poultry or cutting through dense, hard-skinned squash.
