The Victorinox meets my requirements for a 5 inch boning knife, my go-to kitchen knife. I've used a similar model from another manufacturer for 40 years but I finally needed replacements and that manufacturer's knives have deteriorated in quality. I wanted a knife that fit my small-ish hands, had a straight blade, a blade that does not extend horizontally beyond the handle, (I use it as a paring knife among other things) and a blade that sharpens well. The Victoronix knife immediately felt right in my hand and maneuvers just like my old knives. Thanks, Victoronix!

We've had this knife a little less than a year now and can say with confidence that it cuts well, holds an edge well and exceeded our expectations for a knife in this price range.

Exactly what I needed for processing chickens.
