I have the exact knife you are getting and this Ikea knife beats it out every time.

Victorinox is a meme. So is J.A. Henckels.

>Victorinox is a meme
Does that mean it's bad or a waste of money?

>>8343261
I don't believe you

>>8343251
We use these at the place I work. They're good enough. As long as you keep it sharp I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

>>8343266
It's overrated and not worth a second look.

Victorinox is famous for Swiss Army knives. People automatically assume anything "blade" related must be good coming out of this company, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Swiss Army knives are famous for its design concept, not the quality of the blades.

>What is misinformation

>>8343288
Maybe but that doesn't constitute a meme, does it?

>>8343274
You don't have to. Ikea knives are something that's easy to make fun of, but actually quite popular among chefs and cooks who can see past the top brand memes. Google is your friend.

The only expensive knife I've been impressed with is a Global knife.

Have you ever owned a Swiss army knife? I don't mean the Chinese knockoffs either. The real thing with a life time guarantee on it. They are literal butter knives.

>>8343299
It's a meme in a sense it's highly revered in an echo chamber. That's the thing about memes, it has a virus-like property that's capable of spreading just like the idea anything from a "swiss brand" must be a "quality product".

the knife is the number one recommended knife on /r/food and /r/cooking, so go figure.

is it a good knife?

i'm sure it is.

is it better than more expensive knives?

no. that smells like reddit faggotry.

>>8343251
why did you text them instead of just opening your bedroom door and telling them yourself?

>>8343317
I thought Wenger made Swiss Army knives?

we use these at work (fish monger)
they can't cut for shit and go dull if you look at it wrong

>using a chef's knife to prepare fish
You're not a fish monger, just a mong.

>>8343358
Wenger is Victorinox now. At one point they were competitors.

My boss uses one as his beater and he's a big fan. I'm a vain ass hole, so I only use knives that look cool. I say it's shit, but my boss has much more experience than me, so it's probably alright.

>>8343368
You're right. Let me rephrase
We use victorinox knives at work
they can't cut for shit and go dull if you look at them wrong

>>8343362
are you too stupid to hone/sharpen them?

>>8343379
I can hone/sharpen them just fine
the problem is they need to be hone/sharpened so fucking often

>>8343385
yup that's the thing about cheap knives

I got a 10" mercer for 8 bucks on amazon. Can't beat that

>>8343251
it's bretty good man. I bought one and it was like half the price of my wustoff and works great. I never even thought of buying a ikea knife because I have never bought anything good for the kitchen there. Everything is usually shit.

If you're looking for out of the box sharpness though, I'd recommend Tojiro DP
