Victorinox 8" Swiss Classic Chef's Knife, Granton Edge, - 6.8083.20-X1

Perfect all-around chef knife for home or professional use. Sharp, affordable, easy to maintain and rugged. And with the granton divots/scallops on the face of the blade, friction is reduced and food falls away more easily, making it slightly easier to get paper thin slices.

The Swiss Classic handle has a super comfortable ergonomic shape for a wide variety of hand shapes, and since it's molded, is very resistant to water infiltration along the point where the handle meets the blade. 

These knives are quite sharp, take an edge great, are easy to resharpen and maintain in general, and are just great all-around workhorses for the home user and professional alike. 

Yes, this has the same blade as the old Fibrox version, but with a new updated and somewhat more ergonomic handle.

This knife is also available with a nice wooden (but without the granton divots/scallops on the blade) handle here.
