Victorinox Fibrox Pro Ultimate BBQ Knife Set (8-Piece)
Victorinox makes excellent knives -- but this is a BBQ set with a knife roll, not a kitchen block set.
- Specialized BBQ set with knife roll bag -- not a kitchen block set
- Designed for outdoor grilling and carving, not everyday kitchen tasks
- Only 214 reviews -- far fewer than the recommended alternatives
Best For / Not For
Best for
- Dedicated BBQ enthusiasts who cook outdoors regularly and travel to cook-offs
- Buyers who specifically want a knife roll for portability over a block
Not for
- Anyone searching for an everyday kitchen knife block set
- Home cooks who want a complete set for daily meal prep
Key Details
Why We Skip This One
Victorinox makes some of the best knives in the world at their price point. The Fibrox Pro line is especially respected in professional kitchens. The issue with this specific set is that it is designed for outdoor BBQ and carving work, not for everyday kitchen use. The knife roll format works well for a pitmaster who travels to competitions -- it does not replace a kitchen block set for daily meal prep. If you want Victorinox knives for your kitchen, look at their individual chef knives or a different Victorinox kitchen set rather than this BBQ-specific configuration.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Victorinox Swiss quality -- excellent blade steel and handle ergonomics
- Portable knife roll for outdoor cooking and travel
- High carbon stainless steel holds an edge through heavy use
Cons
- Designed for BBQ, not general kitchen use
- No block -- comes with a knife roll bag instead
- Only 214 Amazon reviews
- Wrong product for buyers who want an everyday kitchen knife set
Bottom Line
Skip this BBQ set if you need an everyday kitchen knife block. Buy the imarku Japanese High Carbon set instead. If you specifically want Victorinox quality for outdoor grilling and carving, this set delivers -- but that's a narrow audience.
