For 125-Year Victorinox cutlery has been an expression of the Victorinox philosophy: flawless quality combined with great reliability. A gift to you, this limited edition 4.5-inch Tomato/Bagel knife is produced in celebration of their 125th Anniversary with the blade etched with the words: 125-Years your companion for life and "Thank You" in eight languages. The Victorinox 4.5-inch Tomato/Bagel knife features high carbon, stainless steel blade, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria. | | | | |
Average Rating : 
Rating :  - Over all, it's only OK
I like Victorinox knives. I have several of their fibrox knives and love them. I bought this one because it seemed like it could be useful as a small bread knife. It's... ok.
I find it to be a little thinner of a knife then any of the other Victorinox knives with the exception of the paring knives. And, while I expect paring knives to be thin and flexible, I did not expect this one to be. That definitely gave me pause.
The handle isn't nearly as comfortable to hold as knives like the 5" chef/utility knife, bread knife, or bigger knives. It is more in line with the paring knives made by victorinox. So, if you have a lot of things to slice, this knife is going to get pretty uncomfortable.
I tend to use this knife only for bagels or smaller breads. I find that in general for tomatoes, I'm very happy with a chef's knife of the 5-6" size or my santoku knife. I suppose this knife is cheap enough for such a particular use and I will use it for this purpose, but if I had it to do over again knowing what I know now, I don't think I'd purchase it.
