Victorinox Swiss Army Field Dressing Kit

As a butcher I use victorinox knifes this set is great very sharp used them at work today worked great will be buying more

So I bought these for production in a meat department. This is the first new knife set I have bought, so take my review with a grain of salt. I will review each part of the set separately. I will not mention in each individual description that each knife is razor sharp, they sliced paper easily and also gave a great shave on my arm.Cimeter (Top knife pictured): This knife is useful only for large subprimals because of it's bulk. I have used it on top rounds, bottom rounds and top butts with absolutely no problem. Feels solid in the hand and the handle has a great grip.Breaking Knife, 8" Steak Knife (Second Knife pictured): This is the knife I have always favored, it's size is good all around for handling large subprimals and for cleaning up your smaller pieces. Feels like an easier-to-control cimeter.Boning Knife (Third knife pictured): This one is great, very useful for taking silver skin off smaller roasts and primals, and would probably be great for filleting smaller fish. This knife is semi-flexible though, so it's not something I prefer to use when cleaning up my mess into stew chunks or stir fry because the tip is constantly bending all over the place. I have not used this knife much at all, other than for removing the skin off some fish. I keep a second stiff boning knife that serves every other purpose, though.Paring Knife (Fourth knife pictured): This 3 inch blade is awesome, but it serves no purpose in my set. I keep it around the kitchen because it's much better for peeling fruit or opening tough packages than for use in a meat processing environment. A nice bonus that Victorinox probably threw in just so they could say that they're giving you five knives.Fillet Knife (Fifth knife pictured): Excellent for filleting salmon, which is the only use it has seen. It's a semi flex knife as well, so again I do not use it on the meat block. It's good to keep around just in case, but considering that this set is supposed to be a field dressing kit, it's good that it's included.Steel (Second to last item pictured): I will say that prior to purchasing this set that I figured that the included steel would probably be mediocre, so I purchased a separate ceramic steel at the same time that I bought this bundle. This steel is a medium grit, has a bit of heft to it, and nothing to call home about, but it does align your blade. It will do it's job but I suggest buying a better steel if you're going to be using this set for production.Bag (Last item pictured): I love the bag! The bag is basically one large knife holder that zips up once, and as you roll it up into a bundle you have one large and one small pocket, room enough for some small accessories like a steel, box opener, etc. I am able to fit my standard knife scabbard, the cimeter, breaking knife, boning knife, my other boning knife, ceramic steel, and box cutter snuggly into the bag. It also has a shoulder strap if you want to use it.Overall I am happy with this set. I have used Victorinox knives in the past though, and they are excellent production knives for the cost. Especially for the cost of this entire set, I feel that $100 and prime shipping makes this a no-brainer if you are looking for a starter set. If there was one thing I could change about this set, it would be to get rid of the steel, paring and fillet knives and give the remaining knives a granton edge. But then this set would no longer be a complete field dressing kit, and likely not cost $100. :) I have only owned this set for a week, but I will update this review in six months or so and give any additional details.If you're reading this Victorinox, release a specialty meat cutter's set, with granton edge knives, a scabbard and the bag, and you will make some money!

I’ve only used this product to butcher one deer it seems to have held their edge and are very sharp so far no complaints. I love the knives and will update after my next harvest.

These are great knives. I am very happy with my knife purchase and in fact, They are a lot better than I expected. They were less expensive and of better quality than the Henkels I purchased a couple of years back.1. The knife bag was of very nice quality with the Victorinox logo nicely embroidered on the bag. The bag is heavy duty and has two additional spaces were knives can be stored.2. The knives are very sharp. It makes using the Henkels feel like I'm cutting with a piece of cardboard by comparison.3. Real nice kit with a fair price. The handles are comfortable and fit securely in my hand. I can't wait to tackle something a little larger than tonight's dinner with these knives.You can spend a lot more and get a lot less. This knife kit had all the items I would need for the type of work I intend to perform with them. I highly recommend this kit and look forward to adding a couple of Victorinox knives in the future.

This is the best knives ever! I am a professional meat cutter these knives have cut littery thousands of pounds of various meats! They preformed great! Keep the edge and with minimal sharpening!

Not top of the line butchering knives but got them for my teen son who’s been learning butchering and meat cutting. He likes them ok.

Producto perfecto y excelente calidad

Bought these blades 2 months ago. I bought this set because the reviews on the knives and because of the extensive research I conducted on the brand. The long and short of it is these are the dudes that make those old school Swiss Army Knives and the products have been around forever.I would give you the play by play of every knife and the case, but I only really have good things to say. The knives cut well, the case I really don't use. One thing I have not concidered was that the knives save time in the kitchen. Comprable to the old knives that I used these knives cut well seem to hold an edge. This is especially important because I meal prep on the weekends on my days off, essentially cutting a weeks worth of meals in a few hours is now easier.This set is a bargain compared to knives of similar quality. Great for professional people but more importantly good for regular people who want thier money to go a long way.
