Design

The grater features a razor-sharp, coarse stainless steel blade ideal for firm produce and hard ingredients. Its distinctive red handle is made from durable synthetic material (ABS or Polypropylene) and is ergonomically shaped for an intuitive, comfortable grip. To ensure stability, it is equipped with slip-resistant silicone feet and additional cutouts that allow you to notch it securely over the rim of a bowl or saucepan.

Durability

Built to Victorinox’s rigorous Swiss standards, the blade is crafted from high-quality stainless steel to maintain its edge through years of heavy use. The robust construction is lightweight (approx. 77g) but designed to handle tough tasks like grating chocolate, hard cheeses, beets, carrots, and potatoes without flexing or dulling prematurely.

Care

This tool is officially dishwasher safe, making cleanup effortless. However, many professional users recommend hand washing to maintain the handle’s vibrant red color and the blade's extreme sharpness over the long term. For safety, it includes a rigid plastic blade protector to prevent accidental cuts and protect the teeth while stored in a drawer.

Notable Features

The grater’s "coarse" profile makes it particularly effective for "wet" vegetables like cucumbers or apples where a larger texture is desired. Its slim, flat profile (26.2 cm long) allows it to slide into narrow storage spaces far more easily than a box grater, while the lifetime warranty against defects ensures it remains a permanent fixture in your kitchen.
