The handle is made from the proprietary Fibrox material that is textured to provide a nonslip grip, and it's designed to provide an ergonomic feel. Though our lab testers noted that the knife's appearance is very utilitarian, a winning combination of price and efficiency made this knife the winner in the Best Budget category. The blade is straight with a gently curved tip that encourages a rocking motion, so it’s also great for slicing meats. The 8-inch blade on this knife is made from high-carbon stainless steel that will maintain its super-sharp edge. Like those knives, this one is made in Switzerland. If the Victorinox name seems familiar, perhaps it’s because it's the manufacturer of the very popular Swiss Army knives. Victorinox Fibrox Pro 8-Inch Chef’s Knife Review While it may not be the cheapest, its versatility and durability make it worth the cost. This knife is not dishwasher-safe, but follow the care instructions carefully and it should last you years. In terms of long-term performance, customers say that it holds its edge well (and they recommend Mac Knife sharpeners for when you do need to resharpen the blade). Though the knife doesn't come with a sheath, which testers would have preferred, it was easy to clean with no remaining residue after cleaning and no streaks. It even sliced through paper twice, with only minimal tearing on the second run. The knife's sharp hollow edge helped it glide through an onion, and it only experienced a slight drag when cutting butternut squash. It smashes garlic easily and minces well. On the tomato, they noted that there was no tearing, and the knife was able to slice very thinly with ease. ![]() Our lab testers tried the knife on a number of things, including garlic, onion, tomato, and even a piece of paper. Plus, its Pakkawood handle offers a comfortable grip. It's balanced, easy to use, and cuts well, thanks to its lightweight design (6.5 ounces) and thin 2.5-millimeter blade and bolster. The hollow edge is the standout feature of this knife. Mac Knives have a long-standing reputation for quality Japanese craftsmanship, and it's no surprise the Professional Series 8-Inch Hollow Edge Knife was the top overall choice in our lab testing. ![]() What do buyers say? 87% of 1,400+ Amazon reviewers rated this product 5 stars. Who else recommends it? Wirecutter, The Strategist, and Food & Wine all picked the Mac Knife Professional 8-inch Hollow Edge Chef Knife.
