The Best Cooking Knives For the Money

Cooking is an art, and as with all art forms when cooking you need the proper tools. Most importantly you need quality, comfortable knives. A properly balanced, sharp, comfortable knife makes the whole cooking experience more enlightening, relaxing, and fun. There is no greater frustration then cutting a tomato with a dull knife; the slices turn out deformed, and uneven. On the other hand you can't describe the pleasure of effortlessly cutting a zucchini, while with the added bonus of developing your knife technique. A knife can make a big difference in the kitchen, so how do you choose one.

Victorinox Knives

Not all knives are created equal. There are various styles, shapes, and specific uses for knives. The most common and most important knife is the chef knife. The chef knife needs to have heft so it can cut through chicken bones, good balance for maneuverability, and off course a sharp edge. It is also preferential that it be made out of high carbon stainless-steel, and be cut out of one piece. Another popular knife is the Santoku knife. The santoku knife is Japanese variant on the chef knife. It is used primarily to cut vegetables and fruits.

Victorinox Knives

Now you probably heard of the big knife companies, Wusthof, and Henckels. You also probably know that they cost a lot for the real deal. A knife made by either of those companies will cost at least dollars and can go up to 0. Keep in mind they have cheaper versions, but those versions are made in china and not in Germany or Spain.

So what knife you should get, the answer is simple. Victorinox. That company might be familiar to you because this is the same company that produces the Swiss army knife. Victorinox manufactures all their knives in Switzerland, no exception. Their chef knife was rated best by cooks illustrated. Best of all it costs under .

I can personally testify that these knives are great. So far I have bought four knifes. One chef knife, two santoku knives (I use one for fish), and one utility knife. All of them are great.

Swiss Army Watches - Revealing the Secrets

Many products have come out of the nation of Switzerland. Swiss cheese, Velcro, and Swiss chocolate are the most well-known of these products. Watch-making has also become an important part of the industry of Switzerland because of the time taken to make every single Swiss Army watch. At the pinnacle of the watch industry are Swiss Army watches.

Victorinox Knives

Back in 1884, the company which sold the these watches was started. Switzerland was the country where the watch was made and sold. The popularity of the Swiss Army knife led the company to produce watches as well.

Victorinox Knives

The first time a Swiss Army watch was sold in America was in the year 1989. Watch buyers still purchase the Original watch that was sold back in 1989 because of the fame of that model of watch. To celebrate its 125 years of success, the company released an anniversary watch in 2009.

Twenty years has increased the range and style of watches the company now sells. Buyers will pay 5 for the Swiss Army Original. There are other models, such as the Alliance and Viviante, which could 0 to 00 dollars, due to their dressier and more luxurious nature. The sportier models, such as the Chrono Classic and Infantry, are less expensive, and cost around 0 to 0.

The government of Switzerland is particular about the watches made within the nation. The moving parts of the watches must be inspected in Switzerland. The watches must also be made and assembled in Switzerland. Following these rules results in authentication by Swiss watch dealers.

The analog watches are more complicated and require a lot of intricate parts to make it work. There were more than a hundred parts used in many of the original Swiss Army watches. The care given to each individual watch has made Switzerland the expert in watches.

Due to the time and craftsmanship given to each watch, Swiss Army watches need less repair compared to other brands. However, unexpected accidents can still happen, and parts of the watch can become broken. It is a good thing there are many places that will repair the watches, even though they have a complicated design that contains so many intricate pieces.

Counterfeiting is a problem with any product, but due to the popularity of the Swiss Army watches there are many people who want to duplicate the success this watch has had. The problem is that these fakes are often so similar to the original that the difference is indiscernible. Serial numbers need to be checked to avoid buying a knockoff brand. This problem is further complicated by fake watch dealers replicating real serial numbers and logos. The most proactive way to avoid getting scammed is to pay the high price for your watch. Low prices are usually a good sign that the retailer might be up to no good.

Victorinox Swiss Army AirBoss Automatic 42mm Watch Is Announced At Basel 2011

New to the AirBoss collection from Victorinox Swiss Army, the AirBoss Automatic 42mm watch is part of their more complicated line of timepieces. This is a mechanical watch done in stainless steel metal with a simple automatic movement with three hands. It has a round dial is easily read and is surrounded by a beveled flange ring. The minute indicators have a technical font on the inner bezel and the extra numerals in the 24 hour military format are on the inner part of the dial.

Victorinox Knives

Applied hour markers are done in Arabic styled numerals and are coated with luminescence as are the diamond-shaped hour and minute hands and the triangle at 6 o'clock. Traditionally the triangle is found at 12 o'clock but this placement is thought to be done to draw attention to the date window which can be found at 6 o'clock. The watch is water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters and has an AR coated scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The dial comes in either charcoal or silvered.

Victorinox Knives

The Airboss Mach 4 was released two years prior in a 45mm case size, this year the scale has been reduced in a bit more elegant size to appeal to a wider range of consumers. The dial is also more refined, but the military look remains in the brand. Movement is ETA 2824-2 blank caliber with 25 jewels and 28,800 vph made in Switzerland that can be admired through the exhibition case back protected by mineral glass. A brown leather strap with beige contrasting stitch completes the look of this handsome timepiece. A stainless steel bracelet can also be selected for a dressier look.

The Airboss Collection, as with all genuine Victorinox Swiss Army watches, is sold through the official Victorinox Swiss Army retailers and jewelers. They cannot be purchases on internet sites of non-retailor affiliates. This ensures that one purchases authentic watches. If it doesn't say Swiss Army, Victorinox Swiss Army or Victorinox on the dial is not an authentic watch. All Victorinox watches are authenticated by the Swiss Government and have a 3 year limited warranty.

Since 1897 the Original Swiss Army Knife has come from the village of Ibach, Switzerland, Victorinox has become known in more than 100 countries since that time and has a reputation for versatility, functionality, quality and precision. This heritage extends to their Swiss Army Watches which are a reflection of their ingenuity in design and durability. The "cross and shield" represents the legend of Victorinox and the Swiss Army brand.
