Features and types
The Victorinox catalogue available on L'Arcolaio is divided into four families: Swiss Classic knives, Fibrox knives, cutting accessories (vegetable peelers and graters) and scissors.
Swiss Classic line: practicality and colour at table
The Swiss Classic line includes steak and pizza knives with 11 and 12 cm blades, serrated blade with pointed tip. Handles are available in seven colours: black, red, blue, green, yellow, purple and orange. Each knife is sold individually (€6.90), which allows you to build coordinated sets by choosing your preferred colours or to complete missing pieces. All dishwasher safe.
Fibrox line: from home kitchen to professional kitchen

- Kitchen knives with blades of 15 cm (€32), 19 cm (€38) and 25 cm (€54).

How to choose the right Victorinox product
For table use
If you are looking for steak or table knives for everyday use, the Swiss Classic line is the direct choice. Coloured handles are also useful for visually distinguishing knives at large table settings. The single format at €6.90 allows you to buy only the quantity you need.
For everyday kitchen use
For those who cook regularly at home, the kitchen knife Fibrox with 19 cm blade (€38) is a good starting point. Those who cut a lot of bread should consider the 21 cm bread knife (€36); those who want to slice thin cured meats will find the 30 cm ham knife useful (€49). For grating cheese and citrus fruits, the Swiss Made graters at €15 are a practical addition.
For specific or semi-professional uses
The Alveolated Fibrox Santoku knife (€54) is the choice for those who prefer the Japanese shape. The Extra flexible filleting knife (€38) is designed for those who clean and work with fish. The 26 and 31 cm butcher's knives and the boning knife are technical tools for those who work with large cuts of meat.
FAQ
What is the difference between the Victorinox Swiss Classic line and the Fibrox line?
The Swiss Classic line is designed for table and kitchen use in everyday life: coloured handles (black, red, blue, green, yellow, purple, orange) and compact 11-12 cm blades. The Fibrox line has black non-slip handles and longer blades (from 15 to 31 cm), with specialised models for every function: 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 (1 piece at €6.90), which allows you to choose your preferred colour or to complete an existing set without buying extra pieces.
What is the right blade length for a Fibrox kitchen knife?
The 15 cm blade is comfortable for precision work. The 19 cm is the most versatile size for general household use. The 25 cm is used for large cuts of meat or large chopping boards. For bread: 21 cm or 26 cm with wavy blade.
Are Victorinox Fibrox butcher's knives suitable for home use?
Butcher's knives with 26 and 31 cm blades are technical tools for those who work with large cuts of meat, even in semi-professional settings. For everyday home cooking, Fibrox knives of 15, 19 or 25 cm are generally more practical.
Are Victorinox vegetable peelers ambidextrous?
Yes: both models (Iota and Ypso) have a serrated blade with double cutting edge, usable with both right and left hand.
Can Victorinox graters go in the dishwasher?
Yes: both graters (coarse grating and fine holes) are dishwasher safe. The stainless steel structure with polypropylene handle does not deteriorate with repeated washing.
