The Buck Travelmate – Everyday Carry Cutlery

Buck travelmateEveryone that knows me and this blog knows there are two things that really catch my attention: Everyday Carry Cutlery and Nutella Spreaders. You can imagine how excited I was to see this new piece from Buck.

First off, it isn’t a pocket everyday carry but definitely something to have in the backpack or picnic basket. The 4.87 inch serrated blade (9.87 inches with handle) is made of 410HC stainless steel and perfect for cutting bread and spreading delicious Nutella. Then there is the fork which has a bottle opener, can opener, flathead screwdriver and barbecue grill scraper. Could you ask for more? One last thing is the antimicrobial injection molded sheath for storage and carry. It is covered by Buck’s Forever Warranty and it’s dishwasher safe.

Zwilling JA Henckels Vintage 1876 Flatware Set

zwilling henckels flatwareAbove 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

keychain cutleryI’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 knifeThere 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.
