Every kitchen task, from the minute to the mammoth, has been considered in the conception of the Swiss Classic collection of knives by Victorinox. In a collection where functionality is combined with fun, we’ve also put together some of our most useful knife blocks and gift sets. These are lightweight, dishwasher-safe pieces that are 100% Swiss made as well as feature colorful handles. There’s nothing this collection doesn’t cover.

Although called a Swiss Classic "Bread Knife", this versatile knife offers much more than its name indicates. Even slicing roasts or large, hard-skinned fruits and vegetables, such as watermelons or pineapples, are all simple tasks for this knife. Aside from bread, it's a go-to knife for leveling cakes, cutting sandwiches, as well as slicing tomatoes or other quickly bruised fruits and vegetables. Designed to effortlessly cut through foods that are hard on the outside and soft on the inside, the serrated blade offers the reliable balance of strength and dexterity, making this multifaceted knife a must-have for every home chef.

If you are only going to have one serrated knife, then the 10.25" Swiss Classic Curved Bread Knife is the way to go. The scallops between each point reduce friction, so each slice feels effortless. The sharp points of the serrated edge pierce into hard crusty loaves or soft skinned fruits as well as veggies to maintain a strong hold and offer better control throughout slicing. The scallops also prevent the knife from squashing bread slices or the tender interiors of fruits and vegetables. The heft helps to make quick work of melon rinds and pineapples, while the razor sharp blade is reliable for slicing delicate eggplants and peaches.

At 10.25", the blade is long enough to saw through large loaves of bread or cakes, but still offers the control needed when cutting smaller items like tomatoes or baguettes. A curved blade allows you to comfortably slice soft fruits as well as vegetables with a rocking motion, and it has plenty of knuckle clearance which is something a straight bread knife cannot offer. However, it’s the curved blade that really sets this knife apart. Whether you prefer to cut wafer-thin slices or large hearty ones, the thin blade offers the presicion needed for even slices every time.
