Take it from expert chefs around the globe: cooking is creative performance and they know the value of a top-notch knife.
Reliable tools upgrade their culinary experience, and the right equipment can even make an impact on sustainability. This is why Victorinox knives are treasured by professionals all over the world because Victorinox kitchen tools are super-sharp, long-lasting—and impressive in style and design. Boost your own kitchen performance thanks to expert tips and Victorinox knife skills from four renowned international chefs who love our knives. Let them help you sharpen your act.
The creative chef of Berlin’s only 3-Michelin-star restaurant shares our values: respect, sustainability and high-quality standards. From his first Swiss Army Knife as a boy to the knives he chose to begin his dream job cooking exquisite meals, Victorinox tools have been Marco’s constant companions.
Marco, what do you consider when buying a kitchen knife?
“The most important thing is to choose a knife that is comfortable to hold. It has to fit nicely into your palm. It’s good to test the weight, curve and contours of each knife in person. That way you’ll know which one suits you best.”
The exceptionally talented Gabriela Ruiz presides over one of Mexico’s culinary hotspots. She is an ardent fan of Victorinox knives for their blade precision, their style and the often bright handles that add colour to her kitchen.
Gabriela, how do you choose the right knife for the job?
“The task of each knife is often there in the name: carving, paring, filleting and so on. But many blades are great for things that are not obvious at first—like a bread knife to slice a melon, or a filleting knife to peel an orange. Victorinox knives stand up to any culinary challenge. There’s no wrong way to do it.”
Baked goods are easily sliced and portioned with the Swiss Modern Bread and Pastry Knife. It also makes light work of tougher, hard-skinned vegetables such as artichokes. Like all the knives in the Swiss Modern collection, it has a special ergonomic form with a richly grained European walnut wood handle, which is warm, natural, entirely unique and geometrically shaped to give this 22-cm piece a smooth, contemporary feel. Elegance and high-performance functionality combine for beautiful, durable and timeless kitchen tools.

Nathan, how do you hold a chef’s knife properly?

Nenad knows all about putting together a gorgeous dish that is healthy and delicious. Throughout his career, he has turned to Victorinox for both his personal kitchen knives and the prep tools that start off every dish.
Nenad, what role do high-quality accessories like boards and peelers play in preparations?
“Just as it’s absolutely crucial that ingredients for a meal are both top quality and really fresh too, you need to think about not just expert blades, but great kitchen utensils as well. This means things like precision peelers that can skin a tomato and robust boards that go the distance.”
Since 1947 the iconic REX Peeler has been helping home cooks work quickly yet safely in the kitchen. With an ultra-sharp blade and ergonomic handle, it offers optimum ease and comfort. And because it cuts so close to the fruit or vegetable’s skin, it preserves the inherent vitamins. With such an illustrious past, we’re delighted to bring the REX into Victorinox’s exciting future.

We think 75 years of the iconic REX Peeler is worth celebrating. We’ve given this timeless design classic an anniversary makeover, creating a special edition plated in rose gold with an engraved logo. This stunning piece comes in a presentation box and is available only in 2022 – but the Swiss quality craftsmanship will endure for years.
