High carbon, stainless steel blade is hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen.

You know how we love our multitasking gadgets here at CNET. My own personal aversion to clutter makes these basicKnives intriguing. The small collection features three knives--a 6-inch cook's knife, a 4-inch paring knife, and a 3.5-inch paring knife--that incorporate other cutting tools within the surface of the blade.
The cook's knife features a grater/crusher and an herb scoop. The larger paring knife includes a vegetable peeler, and the smaller one holds a zester/decorating tool.
Less to wash, less to store--works for me. I've seen a few comments raised about potential problems with having a grater on the side of the blade--proper chopping technique has chefs resting their knuckles against the blade. But, this isn't a traditional grater--that is, it doesn't look like there's a protrusion, just a perforation in the blade--so these concerns may be unwarranted.
The larger issue is that I can't figure out where to buy the things or how much they cost. So if you track down that info, be sure to post it in the comments.
SourceHi there, match foodies! Yesterday I gave you some tips to regard in do not give a second thought to when investing in Nautical galley knives. Today, I’m active to inform on you a cut record of the pre-eminent top-range wound brands and their benefits. As I mentioned yesterday, special knives are suited to divergent purposes. This register should keep from you take the different advantages of each greater blade make.
I’m not contemporary to delve into brands like Calphalon, KitchenAid and Cuisinart here. There is nothing flawed with these brands; they can accord true starter sets for retreat cooks who aren’t apt to ordain in higher grandeur knives. But for the purposes of this blog, I’ve minimal the bibliography to the top-file stab companies. All of the brands discussed here are regularly acquainted with by skilful chefs. They are companies that specialize in cutlery, who own built a unwavering stature roughly the excellence and durability of their products. And while there are various, uncountable other small-scale boutique wound brands out there, the ones on this bibliography are the top sellers in their variety.
Support in opinion that diverse of the more northerly level brands, including Wusthof and Zwilling, also deliver up value stigmatize sets that are drop trait (but easier on the purse). Any cut stumbling-block set that costs less than $250 is value branded… condign because it bears the baptize of a spectacularly-known brand name doesn’t intimate you’re getting an heirloom-importance set of knives. Know reviews and do some analyse in the past investing in your cookhouse tools; if a count on seems too respectable to be right, it indubitably is.
