Victorinox Named Best Knife Brand at the Members' Choice Awards 2026

Victorinox has been named Best Knife Brand at the Members' Choice Awards 2026, a prestigious accolade voted for by hospitality professionals across the UK.

The award recognises the brands that consistently deliver outstanding products, quality and trusted support to professional kitchens. Winning the Best Knife Brand category reflects Victorinox's long-standing commitment to craftsmanship, innovation and producing premium cutlery trusted by chefs around the world.

A Heritage of Swiss Craftsmanship

When founder Karl Elsener opened his cutler's workshop in Ibach, Switzerland in 1884, he could not have imagined that the Swiss Army Knife™ would become a global symbol of preparedness, recognised everywhere from everyday life to outer space.

Today, Victorinox continues to build on that legacy with a mission to help people be prepared for every challenge. Guided by the same principles that established the brand more than 140 years ago, the company combines uncompromising quality, authentic Swiss craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail across its entire product range.

Precision Designed for Professional Chefs

The same expertise that has made the Swiss Army Knife™ an international icon is applied to Victorinox's professional cutlery.

Using only best-in-class materials, every knife is designed with ergonomic, performance-driven features that combine comfort, precision and durability. Carefully engineered to serve its purpose expertly, Victorinox cutlery helps chefs work with confidence and efficiency throughout every service.

Trusted Around the World

Victorinox's premium cutlery range is valued and trusted by culinary professionals across the globe. Designed to deliver effortless performance, the collection enables chefs to work with precision while meeting the demands of busy professional kitchens.

Every product carrying the iconic Cross & Shield – from Swiss Army Knives and professional cutlery to watches and travel gear – is crafted with the same commitment to excellence, quality and reliability.

Driven by the belief that "Being Prepared Makes Life Better," Victorinox continues to develop products that combine innovation with timeless Swiss craftsmanship.
