At the same time they are so good qualitywise, you can use them for years and years to come. Good stones don’t wear out easily, they can last for hundreds of sharpening sessions. The 'Skerper' brand is an old acquaintance with a new look. It stems from our familiar house brand Eden. A new name with new and improved products like the Basic series. When you choose for Skerper you still get the fantastic value-for-money Eden offered.
maintain a wooden cutting board With good maintenance you can enjoy your cutting board for years to come. We’ll show you how.
1. Rinse the cutting board after use and wipe it clean with a brush. You don’t need to use dishwashing soap, only after cutting meat or fish it is recommended. Dry the board well after rinsing it.
2.
3.
Once a month your board needs good maintenance so it is cleaned properly. Cover it with salt and drizzle lemon juice or vinegar over it. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Then grab a cloth and use the mixture to ‘scrape’ the board clean. Rinse it clean afterwards and dry it off.
Now it is time to oil the board. Odourless and tasteless oil is most suitable. We advise Eden cutting board oil. Use plenty of oil and keep oiling it until the board becomes saturated.
P ro- tip Put the board upright when drying it. Don’t place it over a heat source because this will crack the wood.

MY
Favourite
Fenix UC35 led torch I do not like flailing in the dark. A good torch is a godsend and therefore the Fenix UC35 torch is my favourite
I
like the Fenix UC35 because it is very versatile. You can use it anywhere. The light output of 960 lumens is more than I need in most situations, but great to have! It is compact, easy to operate and the quality is amazing.
The UC35 is rechargeable which is ideal! A 3400mAh Li-ion battery is included, as is a usb cable which you can plug into the torch. No hassle with unscrewing a part of the torch or using separate chargers.
The side switch has an LED which shows you whether the battery is full during charging. I used it a lot while being on vacation and in combination with a diffuser I used it as a camping lantern. With the Fenix UC35 you are getting a top quality torch! Versatile and reliable, that’s all you need.

You can baton with this knife without being afraid it will break in half, which is really special for a knife this size. The excellent workmanship and robust build really stands out. The solid tip and the N690Co-steel blade really make it a sturdy piece of art. The regular Gekko is quite big, which prevents people from wanting to carry it with them. That will no longer be necessary!
The weight of the Gekko Mini is about a quarter less than the full-size Gekko. The blade is a bit shorter (just below 9 centimeters) and makes for the lesser weight among other things. The quality of the build and lightweight materials of the original knife are preserved. Do you want to Build a shelter or peel an apple? Go for the Gekko Mini!

Fissler Special Asia wok By 10x gezonder (Dutch food blog)
R
ecently, Knivesandtools gave me the Fissler Special Asia Wok pan 28cm to test for my blog. Since I hadn’t used a pan with a non-stick coating for years, I doubted whether this wok would suit my needs. I certainly do not regret it! It's not like I will throw my steel plated pans out, I will keep on using those for what they are intended for: baking over high heat or stir-frying.
The size of the pan is considerable so you can cook really big dishes inside it. This wok pan is truly convenient! After unboxing it, I just needed to rinse it and I was good to go. No hassle with burning it in. If you prepare a curry on one day, you can go back to stir-frying the next!

Also vegetables and protein products, such as fish, can be prepared in the wok pan without things sticking to the surface. When the pan has warmed up it stays warm at a lower heat. The size of the pan is considerable so you can cook really big dishes inside it. The quality of this Fissler Special Asia Wok pan is simply excellent. Of course that’s something you can expect in this price range. This German-made pan feels solid and so does the handle. The protective edge on the handle prevents your hand slipping towards the hot pan. Am I going to use this pan frequently? Yes, I will go and use this pan a lot and it will most definitely not collect dust. Hopefully for a long time!

Eden
eden takara The Eden Takara kitchen knives are true pleasure to look at. The special, hammered steel and the beautiful wooden handle make it a real piece of art!
E
ach Eden Takara kitchen knife is handmade by real professionals. The Tsuchime-hammered blade has a core of Aogami Super Blue Paper steel. The stainless 13Cr steel cladding provides additional flexibility and durability. The hammered surface not only looks great, it is also functional since it prevents food from sticking to the blade. Along with the razor-sharp edge it makes for an incredible cutting experience. The handle has a traditional Japanese design. It consists of two types of wood. A bolster made of black Pakkawood and a red sandalwood grip. From sushi to a traditional shepherd’s pie: the Eden Takara makes preparing any dish a joy!
The hammered surface not only looks great, it is also functional.

Small maintenance pocket knife Any pocket knife needs a little maintenance in order to continue functioning properly. By doing this in time, you increase its lifespan dramatically! Small maintenance takes little time and requires only two steps.
1.
2.
It all starts with a little cleaning! Start of by using paper towels, and a cotton swab will help you to get in all nooks and crannies!
To ensure a smooth opening and closing knife it is necessary to lubricate it. The Eden Oil-Pen makes it extremely easy. A few drops on the pivot between the handles will suffice. Remove excess oil to prevent dust from collecting there.

P ro- tip Do not disassemble the knife since some manufacturers will void the warranty afterwards.
