Victorinox Knife Care & Maintenance
Proper care helps preserve the edge and overall condition of a kitchen knife. Follow the care recommendations supplied with your specific Victorinox product, as cleaning instructions can vary between individual ranges.
Where hand washing is recommended, clean the knife with suitable detergent and dry it promptly after washing. Avoid leaving the blade submerged in water or loose in a sink, where contact with other utensils can damage the edge.
Use a suitable cutting board rather than hard surfaces such as glass or stone. Regular honing can help maintain edge alignment between sharpening sessions, while proper sharpening restores the cutting edge when required.
Store knives safely in a knife block, magnetic storage system, drawer organiser, or protective sheath that keeps the blade from unnecessary contact with other kitchen tools.

Victorinox Knife NZ – Frequently Asked Questions
Are Victorinox knives good for everyday cooking?
Yes. Victorinox offers a range of kitchen knives designed for everyday food preparation, including chopping, slicing, trimming, peeling, and cutting different types of ingredients. The best knife depends on the particular task.
Which Victorinox knife is best for general kitchen use?
A chef's knife is generally one of the most versatile options for everyday preparation. It can be used for many common tasks such as chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing.
What is a Victorinox paring knife used for?
A paring knife is useful for smaller and more detailed tasks such as peeling fruit and vegetables, trimming ingredients, shaping food, and preparing garnishes.
What is the purpose of a serrated bread knife?
A serrated bread knife is designed to cut through bread and other baked foods. The teeth help grip the surface while the blade moves through the food without requiring the same downward pressure as a smooth-edged blade.
How should Victorinox kitchen knives be stored?
Store kitchen knives in a knife block, suitable magnetic storage, drawer organiser, or protective sheath. The goal is to prevent the blade from repeatedly contacting other utensils or hard surfaces.
How can I keep my kitchen knife sharp?
Use a suitable cutting board, avoid hard surfaces, maintain the knife according to its care instructions, and use regular honing where appropriate. Sharpen the knife when honing is no longer enough to restore its cutting performance.
