Zwilling JA Henckels Vintage 1876 Flatware Set

Above pictured is the Zwilling JA Henckels Vintage 1876 45-Piece Flatware Set which has service for 8 and a Hostess Serving Set. Boy, that’s a mouthful (pun intended). So what does this include? Made of 18/10 stainless steel it contains eight 5 Piece place settings with a dinner knife (9-1/8″), dinner fork (7-7/8″), dinner spoon (7-1/4″) and a salad fork (7″).

The “Zwilling” (German for “Twin”) logo from Henckel is one of the oldest logos and in the world. This cutlery set is a replica design of the vintage set from 1876. And yes, it’s made in China rather than Germany but all reports indicate the standards of quality are upheld.

Hefty, stainless, dishwasher safe and a wonderful look.

Keychain Cutlery

I’m a big fan of “Everyday Carry Cutlery” and have to resist many items I see available online these days. But this new piece of Keychain Cutlery from Pro-Idee Concept Store is very interesting indeed.

An interlocking knife, fork and spoon are conveniently hidden inside the 5 1⁄2″ key fob (about the size of an egg). Also included is a metal bottle opener. The cutlery is made of stainless steel, the bottle opener is zinc and the case black plastic. It comes with a handy travel strap. One catch is that it’s a little pricy at around $50 for a pair, but pretty cool looking.

Henckel’s Cheese Set

henckel cheese knife There is a running punchline to any joke in our house: “I like cheese”. The joke is that it isn’t a punchline or a good way to end a story but very much a clear statement of fact. Indeed, blessed are the cheese makers.

But enough of cheesy jokes, let’s look at the Henckel cheese set. This five piece set of cheese delivery cutlery (that is counting the wooden serving board) includes 4 cheese knives for cutting hard cheeses and spreading. And also a classic two-pronged fork for serving cheese as using fingers is not polite. Featuring the famous Henckel lifetime warranty and 18/10 stainless steel that is dishwasher safe. I would recommend a good treatment of food grade oil on the handles and cutting board occasionally.

Smelly Fork to enhance the meal?

They call it the “Aroma R-Evolution” and it’s a smelly fork. OK, not really a smelly dirty fork but a fork that acts as a vehicle to add new aromas to your food delivering them right under your nose. Their product is the “Aromafork” that allows you to present a choice of 21 different aromas with categories such as beans, fruits, herbs, nuts, spice, and my favorite umami.

The idea is to accentuate the taste bud’s experience with even more aroma that can compliment or contrast the taste of your food. They are offering pre-orders now and you really should check out their page to see the mechanics of how this interesting cutlery works.
