America's Test Kitchen did some extensive testing and found that the Victorinox Swiss Army Fibrox Pro 8" Chef’s Knife performed well above its cost. It costs around $50 (current $43 on Amazon), but they found it performed at or above the level of the fancier knives on the market. Their guess is that Victorinox had perfected a technique to make their microscopic grain of steel smaller, leading to a sharper knife and better longevity.
