PROFESSIONAL KNIVES
The extensive range of stamped blades provides a choice of ergonomic handles.

Rosewood – this beautiful timber was used by Victorinox for all knife handles until 1974. Attractive to the eye and comfortable in the hand it is still preferred by professional enthusiasts. The oils in the timber have a natural antiseptic property. These knives should never be soaked in water or cleaned in a dishwasher, but washed under a running tap.

Fibrox – The workhorse of the range – non-slip, ergonomic in design, sterilisable and durable. This handle is preferred in most commercial applications for chefs and butchers. Available in Black, Red, Yellow and Blue where distinction in food preparation areas is required.

Microban – Built into the Fibrox handle during manufacture, Microban provides continuous protection against bacteria for the life of the knife. Upon contact with bacteria, Microban penetrates the bacteria’s cell wall and destroys its ability to function, grow and reproduce. Particularly applicable for institutional kitchens and healthcare facilities where hygiene is critical, the handle is distinguishable by its dark blue colour.

Polypropylene – This nylon material is used on the small paring knives and table ware. A cost effective solution for small knives, it
is available in black, red, blue & white.

‘Grand Maître’ the Forged range – The latest range from Victorinox is a superb collection of Chefs Knives. The balance of each knife is so perfect you will enjoy using with it over long work periods. Designed by Victorinox and forged in Solingen Germany from a single piece, they exhibit a seamless transition from the blade to the handle. High quality X50CrMoV15 chrome-molybdenum steel serves as the raw material. Rounded edges on the ergonomically shaped handle ensure comfort for both large and small hands. The right blade hardness and the laser controlled cutting edge guarantee a high edge retention.

"A cut above the rest"

- PROFESSIONAL KNIVES
Pioneer and benchmark for professional cutlery

Half a century ago, Wenger created the Swibo® brand, a new type of professional knife for butchers. Since that time, the range has been consistently perfected and enlarged, becoming an international benchmark in the meat, food processing and fishing/recreational sectors.

The famous bright yellow, handle with its ergonomic shape, injection moulded and sealed directly onto the polished, high grade stainless steel blade, set a new standard in knife safety and hygiene.

Comfortable, non-slip, with no micropores or microcracks, dishwasher safe and sterilisable: this pioneer has been copied and re-copied but still remains the benchmark. Its dedicated functions and design, engineered to deliver superior cutting strength and durability, continue to make it the knife of choice among specialists.

- Same famous Swibo® blades, now with your choice of handle

A softer compound. Comfortable in the hand, allows a firmer grip without added pressure. The extra non-slip quality ensures confidence when working with wet or slippery matter. Still yellow in colour, the ergonomic shape remains unchanged. Hold one in your hand and feel the difference.

All Swibo® knives are fashioned from stainless steel of superb quality, mirror polished and with a keen but robust edge. The choice of rigid, semi-flexible or flexible steel in the same shape blade, gives the ultimate choice when selecting the right knife for the job.

The SwiboGrip® range comprises an additional nine of the most popular codes for fishing, butchery, and general recreational use.

Pepper Mills from the USA

Since 1940, gourmet chefs, fine restaurants, high-end retailers and major department stores have relied on chef pepper mills and salt mills to give their customers the freshest, most aromatic ground spices possible.

All chef pepper grinders and salt mills are made using the finest materials, and utilize an exclusive cutting system that maximizes flavor and aroma and minimizes waste.

The grinding mechanisms in chef Professional Series mills are crafted from solid, cutlery-grade stainless steel to withstand the rigors of commercial use. Spring-loaded for easy grind adjustment, they're engineered to last for generations and were rated a best buy from Cook's Illustrated.

The key word when sharpening the Tormek way is repeatability. The knives are guided in jigs which are adjustable to give the desired angle on the edge. You remove only a minute fraction of the steel at each sharpening, which makes it fast. An extra benefit is that your knives last longer.

The water cooled slow speed grindstone is in harmony with the physical laws governing the steel blade – the edge does not overheat and lose its hardness.

The water lubricated grindstone and the final power honing on the leather honing wheel work in the same way as benchstone sharpening except that the motorized process speeds up the work. The leather wheel is impregnated with honing compound and polishes the edge to a razor sharpness.

No grinding dust is produced to pollute the air. The steel particles are deposited into the water trough.

The Tormek method is safe. Since no sparks are produced, there is no risk to your eyes and you can safely use the machine in areas of high fire risk.

The fully uncased Tormek 4000 is suitable for manufacturing plants, where multiple knives are sharpened daily.
