Kitchen knife Victorinox Swiss Classic 6 cm vegetable knife, red handle, model 6.7301.C1

The Victorinox Swiss Classic 6 cm vegetable knife with a red handle is a compact kitchen tool designed for precise peeling, trimming and detailed cutting of fruits and vegetables. The short 6 cm blade gives fine control for small tasks such as removing skins, cutting small garnishes and preparing ingredients for mise en place. The ergonomic red handle is shaped to fit comfortably in the hand and to provide a secure grip during repetitive use.

Advantages

This vegetable knife combines a short, sharp blade with a non-slip ergonomic handle to deliver accuracy in close-control cutting tasks. Its compact size reduces hand fatigue when performing repetitive peeling and trimming. The simple blade geometry supports easy sharpening and consistent performance for delicate work.

Suitable for

• Peeling and trimming fruits such as apples, pears and citrus
• Preparing small vegetables like shallots, garlic and cherry tomatoes
• Creating garnishes and small decorative cuts
• Precise mise en place work in home and professional kitchens

When it may not be suitable

Due to its short 6 cm blade, this knife is not intended for cutting larger items such as melons, whole cabbages or large roasts. It is designed for detail work rather than heavy chopping or slicing of large produce. For tasks that require long slicing strokes or heavy-duty cutting, a larger chef's knife or slicer will be more appropriate.

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the knife with a comfortable grip on the ergonomic handle and support small items on a stable cutting surface. Use short controlled strokes for peeling, trimming and shaping. For peeling, angle the blade slightly away from your body and remove thin layers of skin; for decorative cuts use the tip of the blade for fine detail. After use, wipe or wash the knife by hand and dry immediately to maintain edge condition and handle integrity.

Usage recommendations

For long-lasting performance, hone the blade regularly and avoid cutting on very hard surfaces such as ceramics or glass. Store the knife safely in a block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge and prevent accidents. Use this compact Victorinox vegetable knife for precise prep work where control and finesse are required.
