Marco Müller: Michelin-starred Chef and Victorinox Ambassador
The creative chef of Berlin’s only 3-Michelin-star restaurant shares our values: respect, sustainability and high-quality standards. From his first Swiss Army Knife as a boy to the knives he chose to begin his dream job cooking exquisite meals, Victorinox tools have been Marco’s constant companions.
Marco, what do you consider when buying a kitchen knife?
“The most important thing is to choose a knife that is comfortable to hold. It has to fit nicely into your palm. It’s good to test the weight, curve and contours of each knife in person. That way you’ll know which one suits you best.”
Gabriela Ruiz: Renowned Mexican Chef
The exceptionally talented Gabriela Ruiz presides over one of Mexico’s culinary hotspots. She is an ardent fan of Victorinox knives for their blade precision, their style and the often bright handles that add colour to her kitchen.
Gabriela, how do you choose the right knife for the job?
“The task of each knife is often there in the name: carving, paring, filleting and so on. But many blades are great for things that are not obvious at first—like a bread knife to slice a melon, or a filleting knife to peel an orange. Victorinox knives stand up to any culinary challenge. There’s no wrong way to do it.”

Nenad Mlinarevic: Renowned Swiss Chef and Victorinox Ambassador
Nenad knows all about putting together a gorgeous dish that is healthy and delicious. Throughout his career, he has turned to Victorinox for both his personal kitchen knives and the prep tools that start off every dish.
Nenad, what role do high-quality accessories like boards and peelers play in preparations?
“Just as it’s absolutely crucial that ingredients for a meal are both top quality and really fresh too, you need to think about not just expert blades, but great kitchen utensils as well. This means things like precision peelers that can skin a tomato and robust boards that go the distance.”
