Why this palette knive earns its place
Victorinox have been making blades for over 100 years, and it shows. The palette knife is the thinking person's tool—every baker and pastry chef who's used a good one understands why they're worth the investment. This one combines a high-carbon stainless-steel blade, ground to razor sharpness, with Victorinox's signature anti-slip nylon Fibrox handle.
At 15 cm, this is the blade for precision. Where longer knives smooth cake sides in a few strokes, this one excels at detail: piping, line work, carefully lifting delicate pastries from cooling racks, scoring dough with surgical precision. The carbon stainless strikes a balance—it's harder than pure stainless steel, so it holds an edge longer, but it won't rust or discolour if you hand-wash and dry it promptly. Professional pastry chefs choose this trade-off willingly.
The Fibrox handle is textured and slightly curved to fit the human hand—not a generic stamped shape, but a grip refined through generations of use. It's warm to the touch, won't splinter, and stays secure even when your hands are wet with ganache and buttercream. The black colour is professional, durable, and hides wear beautifully.
