Victorinox Swiss Classic, Tomato and Table Knife, Extra Sharp Blade, Straight Edge, 11 cm, Stainless Steel, Black

A sharp steak knife, cookery knife.

I bought this knife because it is a simple yet elegant addition to my camping/hiking equipment. I have several of Victorinox's paring knives at home but didn't like taking them camping due to the lack of sheath. Solution - their folding knife. A little ingenuity told me that the rounded blade has the same cutting edge as their pointed knives and I was correct. Within 30 minutes of opening up my parcel I had it converted into a drop point. A simple stencil from one of my other knives and a little handy work in the shed (file, grinder, belt sander, any will do, then neatened up with some 800 grit) and hey presto we have a great kitchen knife that can be chucked in the backpack without worry. High quality, great value for money and I expect many years of simple and safe use.Shown alongside a standard 10cm paring knife.For any Ultralight hikers out there, the modified version weights in at 43gUpdate: This advert appears to have changed to a serrated blade, this was not the case when I purchased the item.Update 2: This advert appears to have changed BACK to the original.

Like someone else I saw I ground the tip to a point so it’s a bit more utilitarian as a general cooking knife. It’s sharp and holds a good edge, locks securely when folded out so you can use confidently (unlock seems to be designed for left / 2 hand use which is odd but unimportant) , about as light as it can be without being flimsy. My only complaint is the descriptions on Amazon of which of these are straight edge or serrated is not very clear, this black one was smooth which is what I wanted. Congratulations too to Amazon / my delivery guy for a proper over 18 check on delivery. Overall highly recommended.

Very plasticy handle for the price very sharp butter knife

Wow - so sharp !The blade lock will baffle some, but it works 10/10.Compact when folded, but a good blade length.An ideal campers companion.Again I comment on the cutting ability, which is brilliant.

On the plus side : extremely sharp (butter) knife. Well (Swiss) made.On the other hand: I wanted a serrated blade. This one is straight. I speak Italian and I should have noticed that it said “Lama dritta” which means straight blade. Some pictures show a serrated blades though.Now the more …I am fed up going to restaurants and hotels and having to deal with bland (steak) knives. Having a folding knife that definitely cuts through beef or whatever meat was something I always wanted. I got that at home anyway why not let’s say on camping. It is safe to say that this is not an offence knife. It is intended to spread butter and eventually cut through vegetables. My next trip is just a week away. If I am not happy, I will get a different Swiss serrated knife.

Caution, this has straight edge as described, not serrated edge as shown on pictures.ted.

Ideal for taking out and about with your pack-up, for work or days out.But bear in mind the blade edge is approximately 4 inches long and locks open.
