Features and types
The Victorinox catalogue available on L'Arcolaio is divided into four families: Swiss Classic cutlery for the table, Fibrox cutlery for the kitchen, cutting accessories (vegetable peelers and graters) and scissors.
Swiss Classic line: colour and practicality at the table
Steak and pizza knives Swiss Classic have blades of 11 and 12 cm, slightly serrated with a point, suitable for cutting at the table. The handles are available in seven colours: black, red, blue, green, yellow, purple and orange. Each knife is sold individually, which allows you to build a coordinated set by choosing the colours you want, or to add individual pieces to an existing set without buying more than necessary. All dishwasher safe.
They are kitchen and table knives also suitable for a formal dinner setting: the coloured handles help to visually distinguish the pieces at large tables, for weddings or family gatherings.
Fibrox line: from domestic kitchen to semi-professional
The Fibrox line is recognisable for its black ergonomic handle in non-slip material. The blades cover every function:
- Kitchen knives with blades of 15 cm (precision work), 25 cm (for large cuts of meat or large chopping boards).
- Fluted Santoku knife 17 cm blade: the flutes on the blade reduce friction and prevent food from sticking during cutting.
- Bread knife 21 cm wavy blade and Bread and Pastry knife 26 cm: both with serrated blade for cutting without crushing.
- Wavy Salami knife 25 cm with rounded tip.
- Extra Flexible Filleting knife narrow 18 cm blade: designed for fish and delicate meats.
- Butcher's knives with blades of 26 and 31 cm for those working with large cuts of meat.
Lota and Ypso vegetable peelers
Victorinox offers two models of vegetable peelers, both with serrated stainless steel blade with double edge — usable with the right hand and with the left — and rigid material handle. Available in red, black and green:
- Lota vegetable peeler: suitable for small or delicate fruit and vegetables.
- Ypso vegetable peeler: elongated shape, suitable for long fruit and vegetables such as courgettes and carrots.
Stainless steel graters
The Victorinox graters are stainless steel with polypropylene handle, Swiss Made and dishwasher safe. Available in two versions:
- Coarse grain: for hard paste cheeses, vegetables, chocolate and dried fruit.
- Fine holes: for dark chocolate, citrus zest, aged cheeses and spices.
Scissors and knife sharpener
The Victorinox scissors in stainless steel with black polypropylene handle are available in two sizes: 20 cm kitchen e 23 cm multi-purpose (also suitable for sewing and do-it-yourself). Theknife sharpener with guard has reversible V-shaped metallic carbide plates and integrated protective guard: it keeps the edge of Fibrox and Swiss Classic knives sharp over time.
How to choose the right Victorinox knife
For table use
If you're looking for steak or pizza knives for your everyday table, the Swiss Classic line is the direct choice. The coloured handles also make it easier to distribute them at the table: everyone recognises theirs. They are sold individually, so you only buy what you need.
To complete your table, pair the Swiss Classic knives with glasses and table accessories or with plates and trays for a refined place setting.
For everyday cooking
For those who cook regularly at home, the Fibrox Kitchen Knife with 25 cm blade is suitable for the most demanding cuts; those who use a lot of bread will find in the Fibrox bread knife with 21 cm wavy blade a precise tool that doesn't crush the crumb. For cured meats and thin slices, the Fibrox Wavy Salami knife 25 cm has the right blade length.
Swiss Made graters complete the basic equipment: the coarse grain one for cheese, the fine holes one for lemon on desserts or fresh ginger.
For specific or semi-professional uses
The Fibrox Fluted Santoku knife is the choice for those who prefer Japanese blade geometry. The Extra Flexible Filleting knife 18 cm is designed for those who clean and work fresh fish. The 26 and 31 cm butcher's knives and the boning knife are technical tools for those who buy whole meat to portion: also useful for busy home cooking.
If you're setting up a complete kitchen, also have a look at the pots and pans for the kitchen and Guzzini Guzzini accessories to complete your collection in a practical way.
Victorinox as a gift
A Fibrox kitchen knife or a set of coloured Swiss Classic knives are concrete and durable gifts for those who love to cook. The Lota or Ypso vegetable peelers and Swiss Made graters work well as a complement to a main gift, with a contained expense and guaranteed daily use.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Swiss Classic line and the Fibrox line from Victorinox?
The Swiss Classic line is designed for everyday table and kitchen use: coloured handles (black, red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange) and compact 11–12 cm blades. The Fibrox line has black ergonomic non-slip handles and longer blades (from 15 to 31 cm), with specialised models for every function: general kitchen, filleting, bread, butchery.
Are Victorinox Swiss Classic knives sold individually or only in sets?
On L'Arcolaio, Victorinox Swiss Classic knives are available individually, which allows you to choose your preferred colour or to complete an existing set without purchasing extra pieces.
What is the right length for a Fibrox kitchen knife?
The 25 cm blade is used for large cuts of meat or when working on large chopping boards. For bread: 21 cm or 26 cm with serrated blade. For precision work: 15 cm. For fish fillet: the flexible 18 cm blade.
Are Victorinox Fibrox butcher's knives suitable for home use?
