Victorinox 5293026 Pastry Knife Rosewood Handle, 10", Brown

Great knife. I did have reservations that this knife was genuine because the sleeve said pine not rosewood and also the model number was not etched on the blade. I sent a query with photos direct to Victorinox. They forwarded it to the uk distributor and they replied promptly as follows:“ We are the UK distributor for Victorinox and we have been forwarded you enquiry.I would say your knife is definitely genuine. The model number is not always applied to the blade.With regards to the handle Victorinox stopped using Rosewood some time ago. Rosewood in now an endangered species. Amazon have not updated their listing which is not good at all so please feel free to challenge them on this. Victorinox have started to use pine in their handles.”I fully support the change to pine for the reason described so I will not mark it down for that. I can’t upload photos but the handle is the same in colour as shown in the listing, presumably it is stained.

Very happy with the quality of the knife as I use it all day 5/6 days a week

I asked a chef in my local pub his favourite knife and he suggested this one; definitely agree, accidentally cut myself on it loads.

Perfect pastry knife,I use it for cutting cakes into portions

I just love it
