Why we picked it
The Fibrox is the knife every culinary student buys; this is the same Swiss blade wearing a triple-riveted maple handle. It holds an edge through months of home cooking and sharpens without a fuss. The wood warms in your grip. Hand-wash, dry, done. Legitimate professional steel for under a hundred dollars.
