The Victorinox Fibrox fluted santoku is a 17cm Swiss-made all-rounder for vegetables, fish and boneless meat. At only about 118g it is one of the lightest all-rounders around.
The fluted blade helps food release, and the practical Fibrox handle is grippy and comfortable. It is deliberately practical rather than precious, making it a convincing first serious knife or a high-use kitchen workhorse.

Lucy's Verdict
A remarkably light santoku for quick prep, damp hands and cooks who value control over visual luxury.

Why we chose it
This earns its place as the flatter, compact alternative to a chef’s knife, especially for cooks who push-cut and spend a lot of time on vegetables. The 17 cm Fibrox Santoku is Swiss-made, fluted and only about 118 g, so it is one of the lightest all-rounders in the launch range. At 17 cm, it keeps the santoku format compact while still giving useful board coverage.
Who it's best for
Buy it if you want a compact all-rounder mainly for vegetables, fish and boneless meat; you naturally use push-cutting, chopping and short slicing strokes; grip, value and ease matter more to you than forged construction. Fibrox Santoku Fluted is the recommendation when those priorities line up.
