Fed up with chipping knives - need a real workhorse
I’m here for Victorinox Fibrox as well. There’s a reason why they’re some of the highest rated knives. Is a Shun or Bob Kramer better looking? Definitely. It is necessary to have a $500 piece of art for chopping herbs? Probably not.

Fed up with chipping knives - need a real workhorse
Victorinox Fibrox series. The true ‘workhorse’ of professional kitchens all over the world. No frills, and relatively inexpensive so you don’t feel like you need to baby them. But they’re incredibly good knives.

Kitchen knife for personal use
Professional Cook here. Victorinox fibrox or zwilling henckels yellow handle can almost be found in every restaurant kitchen. They are either used as a main knife or "beater". Beater jobs include cutting huge chunks of hard cheese, hard veggies like squash or lobster splitting. If you don't need a beater I recommend tojiro dp. Around 60 on Amazon. Basically it's thinner and harder thus giving it better sharpness retention.

Kitchen knife for personal use
This comes up around here a lot. Here's something you should really think about. You can get a very high end knife(s), and it will be really nice and last a long time if you take good care of it. Seriously, some of those Shun knives come to mind, they are literally functional show pieces. You will hear a lot of people say names like Wusthof, Henckel, Shun, and these are super high quality knives. You pay for this quality not only with money, but time. You need to care of knives like this if you want them to last. You need to hand wash and dry them, you need to keep them in a nice block or on a mag strip. You probably want to invest in a good sharpening stone or be prepared to have them professionally sharpened sometimes. If you're up for this, then you can't go wrong with one of those knives. They are all awesome. On the other hand, if you expect to treat this new knife more like you treat the rest of your dishes, that is to say if you'd rather put your knife in the dishwasher, toss it in a drawer, and and sharpen it with a $10 sharpener you bought from Amazon, then you should NOT buy one of those. Instead, look for a knife that was *made* to withstand this kind of abuse. Get yourself a foodservice knife like the Victorinox Fibrox, or the Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe. They are really cheap, ultra-durable, dishwasher safe, and made to be used by people who hate their jobs. In a home setting they will last forever under circumstances that will be fatal to a high end knife. The down side is that they do not hold an edge quite as well (but not bad), they don't quite have the heft that some prefer, and they are not pieces of art worthy of display on your countertop. But they will last and perform well. That's all. Nothing wrong with a high end knife, but I hate spending extra time on taking care of gear when I don't have to. So think about that.
