If I could only pick 3 essential items for cooking/prep, one of them would be a good quality, sharp knife. I always research extensively (sometimes to the point of confusion lol) before deciding on a product, and trying to do this when looking for a relatively inexpensive but durable rugged knife that is actually sharp and stays sharp was definitely a difficult journey to say the least! German steel, Japanese knives, full tang, balance, etc everyone has a preference, and every knife I considered seemed to have reviews on both extremes, people saying they are the best ever, and people saying they are the worst ever. I had such a hard time deciding on something! Hopefully all my homework will help you make an informed decision that works out for you!
The reasons I chose the Vitorinox swiss classic were:
1.) Video reviews by multiple professional chefs who started out using these and 15-20 years later still use the same knife (not a replacement of the same type) daily despite access to very expensive knives in Michelin restaurants etc. This alone was enough given the price point, but in case these were paid reviews (at least a couple I definitely don't believe were paid) here is the rest of the reasons.
2.) Test kitchens of America rate this the number one choice for this type of knife based on the ease of use, comfort of use and feel of knife when using for lots of prep (this was the biggest plus for them), and sharpness.
3.) This knife can take a beating unlike expensive options. These can be left wet, put thru dishwasher, and used for just about anything. I wouldn't say you should try to cut thru beef or chicken bones necessarily, but I cut thru a watermelon with this knife like butter, leaving my mouth agape, and me pleased lol! They do not require hand washing and drying, oiling, will not rust, and according to reviews hold sharpness well for what they are. Of course they will require some swipes thru a knife sharpener or along a honing steel from time to time, especially if they get a lot of use, but that is the case with any knife even if it cost $200+.
For roughly $5 per knife, how can you go wrong if even one of these reasons is true?
My experience so far has been on par with the facts above. A few other things I noticed are that the polypropylene (I think?) handles are extremely comfortable, but are slightly textured and feel as if they are slightly rubberized making them feel secure in your hand in any position, and reportedly this will not go away, even 20 years later. The last thing I found when using this knife to make a BLT was that I used it to slice tomatoes (so thin and no squishing!) and lettuce, and then flipping the knife over the spine works perfectly to spread mayo on the bread, and then used the knife to slice the toasted sandwich in half (no squishing to hold bread while trying to cut thru, and no tearing-cuts thru easily). I also had some slight eyes starting on some potatoes I was peeling and found the point on this knife is excellent for cutting out small spots like this. I would rate this knife 10 stars if I could. I find myself looking for reasons to cut up things and do prep work that prevented me from wanting to cook some meals, or made me dread all the prep work now. My chicken fajitas are a popular request but I hate making them with all the dicing of red/yellow/orange/green peppers and onions and then trimming and cubing all the raw chicken, but I am making them tomorrow and am actually looking forward to making my family happy and not feeling like I spent hours having to saw thru chicken and veggies to do so. These knives are a total winner for me, and I would recommend to anyone. My mom has already gotten herself one, and loves hers too. We both use these for virtually everything in the kitchen requiring a knife. The rest are going to Goodwill or the dump lol.

We now have 2 sets!
My family loves these knives! They are perfect for everything in the kitchen. The knives come very sharp. Sharp enough to smoothly cut tomatoes even though they don't have teeth. They are big enough for adult hands but small enough that my kids use them to cut their fruit. They even cut steak and chicken well! We used our first set so often that we needed 4 more.The first set we ordered had a yellow handled knife that is slightly longer than the other knives. The second set are all the same length. I do like having that one longer one for bigger things and wish the second set had one as well, but we are still happy with them!
