Fibrox handle is incorporated in this knife. You will fill an extra grip that no other knife will provide you. Handles are textured so that these perfectly fit in hand. Risk of slipping is very low. However, in wet conditions handle is little difficult to use. Basic aim behind such a design of handle is to provide comfort and balance along with the firm grip. This knife is NSF approved.
We have felt an extra strength in this knife. It fits perfectly in hand and blade of this knife gets through meat and bones very easily. Overall, we loved this knife. In our opinion it is better than a number of other boning knives available in the market.
Cost of Victorinox 47613 is somehow more than other knives of same class, but paying less than $25 for this knife is not a bad deal at all. If you are in search of an extra ordinary performance, this knife will suit you perfectly.
Wrap Up
Pros: Excellent Design with extra sharp blade. Premium Looks.
Cons: In wet conditions, grip of handle is not up to the mark.
Bottom-Line: A perfect knife with superb performance.
I have several Victorinox swiss army knives. For me the climber has the best mix of tools. The tweezers not very good for tweezing but it makes a good eyeglass screwdriver in a pinch. But by far, the tool that has saved the day the most in my travels is the corkscrew.
