Victorinox Fibrox 20 cm chef's knife
An alternative with a lower stated weight for everyday knife work.
Specification-based analysis · Reviewed 13 Sep 2026
Best suited to: Anyone who prioritises a lower weight
What we like
- 20 cm straight-edged blade; stated weight of 182 g.
- Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) handle.
Things to consider
- The blade is not forged and has a different construction from the other two.
- We have not measured edge retention or balance.
Methodology and evidence
Cross-checking official product information and manuals, with editorial interpretation based on cooking needs. No hands-on tests or verification of offers. Sources are linked in the review.
It is our first editorial choice if you want a general-purpose knife and prefer less weight than the Arcos included here. The recommendation is based on stated dimensions and construction, not on having tested both handles.
For even julienne cuts, rest the flat side of the ingredient on a stable chopping board. A more expensive knife cannot fix a board that moves. Keep the edge sharp and use a separate paring knife to peel small ingredients.
