If you spend any time in the kitchen, you know how important it is to have good knives. Since an entire set of good knives would cost us a small fortune, we are growing our collection one knife at a time. As I mentioned in a previous post, with as much bread as we eat, we decided to invest in a nice bread knife. Luckily, Migros sells a Victorinox bread knife at a slightly lower cost than if we were to buy directly from a Victorinox retailer, so we get the same high quality for a bit less.Since our bread knife is the best one we've got (the sharpest and with a serrated blade), we often end up using it for more than just bread, such as tomatoes - anything that needs a nice clean slice, but nothing that requires too much precision as it is quite a long blade at 21 cm.
Because this post came about because of a request for more information about this fabulous knife, which we recently bought four of to give as gifts for our family, I've added a photo of it in its Migros packaging just in case you're in the market for one.
I find it very amusing that this very Swiss knife is "cutting" a very un-Swiss bagel.
Hey there! Just mentioned on your previous post about coming back to Zurich with 2 full suitcases of stuff from NY - including... bagels !! But of course! What's up with that - the Victorinox knife cutting through... a bagel ?! Shouldn't there be a cow or something on the package instead? And the knife cutting through a Brezel or some dark grainy Brot ? ;)
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll be heading to Migros on Monday, thanks for the info !
I completely agree. A good knife...okay, a set of them, is essential. Otherwise your food looks as though an animal prepared it. I adore cooking and cannot wait to completely rebuild my current collection of blades.
