Stainless Steel Blades
All steel blades are made of martensitic stainless steel. The basis for optimum function and durability of a blade, is the use of the correct steel alloy. The steel should deliver the perfect combination of cutting edge retention and corrosion protection. It should also be flexible, so it does not break during use.
Rosewood Collection
The Rosewood collection from Victorinox combines ergonomic handles in a naturally strong raw material with ultrasharp, efficient blades. Long been considered an ideal material for knife handles, Wood is highly robust and gives each model a unique patterning. We prize the carefully hand-polished Wood knives for their comfortable feel and elegant look.
Rosewood
High-quality rosewood comes from India and is FSC-certified (controlled wood). This very hard wood is tough, durable and benefits from low shrinkage. It is also highly resistant to moisture.
Rosewood is an extremely robust, hard-wearing wood and, thanks to its naturally high oil content, is also highly resistant to moisture. To maximize the service life of knives with wooden handles, never wash them in a dishwasher.
Swiss Quality
A product can be classified as "Swiss Made" if at least 60 % of production costs are occurred in Switzerland. The knives and tools produced by Victorinox are manufactured entirely in Ibach-Schwyz and Delémont. They are thus « Swiss Made » and this is shown on the blade or packaging.
