SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Victorinox 13” Grand Maitre Chef’s Knife is a precision tool built for chefs who demand control, balance, and refined power in every cut. At 13 inches overall, it’s engineered for versatility and presence, with a 7.9" stainless steel blade that hits the sweet spot between length and maneuverability. Whether you're slicing proteins, prepping vegetables, or handling more delicate tasks, this knife brings professional-grade performance to the table.
Crafted in Switzerland, the full tang construction ensures strength from tip to handle. The blade is forged from high-quality stainless steel, finished with a satin sheen that resists corrosion and looks sharp in every sense. At 1/16" thick, the blade is lean and agile—thin enough for fine slicing, yet tough enough to hold up under pressure. It’s ground for edge retention and balanced cutting, meaning fewer touch-ups and more time focused on prep.
The rosewood handle is where craftsmanship meets character. Shaped for comfort and control, it’s triple-riveted for stability and built to endure the rigors of daily use. Rosewood not only adds a warm, natural aesthetic but also provides a textured, reliable grip—even when your hands are working fast. This is a handle that feels like it belongs in your hand—not just another piece of gear, but a trusted extension of your skill.
At 9.2 ounces, the Grand Maitre offers enough heft to assist in cutting without feeling bulky. It sits solid in your hand, with a center of gravity that helps reduce fatigue during long prep sessions. The curved edge profile and fine point allow for both rocking motions and precision tip work, making this knife suitable for a broad range of tasks from coarse chopping to fine dicing.
This is a chef’s knife that doesn’t cut corners. It's made for those who respect their tools and expect durability, sharpness, and feel in equal measure. If you’re looking for a reliable, elegant knife that’ll stay sharp and look sharp for years, the Victorinox Grand Maitre is up to the challenge. Order it today from SMKW!
