wicked edge generation 3 pro
Wicked Edge perhaps makes
the best sharpening systems in the world. Everyone can make a dull blade razor-sharp on a Wicked Edge. The New Generation 3 Pro speeds up the process even more! The Generation 3 Pro works the same as its predecessors: the knife is secured and you move the sharpening stones under a fixed angle along the edge. This rock-solid principle still holds up to this day! The Generation 3 goes even faster and easier than the versions before. The blade clamp is greatly improved and you can clench and release the knife in just a second. Also setting the exact angle is much easier now. No more “screwing around�! A button on the Generation 3 Pro slides the arms to the correct angle, which makes it really easy to work with.
The Generation 3 Pro rests on top of a small case. It lifts the system slightly from the surface, allowing for more room during sharpening and having extra storage space below to store the stones in. The Wicked Edge Generation 3 Pro is the absolute best of the best when it comes to sharpening systems. Thanks to the latest improvements they continually raise the bar and stay on top! Wicked Edge helps any knife enthusiast getting the best sharpening result.

KA-BAR hardcore lives hardcore knives the story of ka-bar goes back to straight razors and iconic knives from the second world war, all the way to the current tough, solid and high-quality outdoor knives.

Adjusting binoculars A good pair of binoculars is like an extension of your eyes. Is this not the case for you? Do you see black edges, or are you tired of looking through the binoculars quickly? Then probably the binoculars aren’t properly adjusted to what you need! Follow the steps below and use the binoculars to their fullest.
1.
2.
The distance from your eyes to the binoculars is very important. When you wear glasses you don’t have to extend the eyecups. If you don’t wear glasses you have to extend them for an optimal image.
Change the distance between the eyepieces until you get a nice and clear round image.
2. 1.

You have to adjust the binoculars to your eye deviation. You can use the diopter correction for this. Usually it is the revolving ring at the right eyepiece.
Firstly, set the left side of the binoculars. You can use the focus button and keep your right eye shut. Afterwards, cover your left eye and do the same for the right side. To do this you can use the diopter adjustment ring. The result will be a sharp image for both eyes!

MY
Favourite
Le Creuset Since I have the Le Creuset La Fonte émaillée casserole, cooking has become much more fun! The sturdy cast-iron pan has great features which has made it a true treasure to my kitchen.
T
hrough the excellent heat distribution, meats and fish are ready in no time. Stews can slowly simmer in the oven because the casserole can stand the heat really well. When you want to keep a dish cooled inside the refrigerator that won’t be a problem either! Ideal to serve chilled fresh fruit salads in the summer! Cleaning it is really easy because of the non-stick enamel coating.
If you let hot water soak in the pan you can effortlessly rinse it clean afterwards. When people come by for dinner I use my Mini-Cocottes for serving my world famous onion soup. Also for serving ice cream those small pans are ideal. Put the cocottes in the freezer before serving and the ice cream will melt much slower. Only Le Creuset for me from now on!

Zwilling J.A. Henckels celebrates its 285 th anniversary june 13, 1731 peter henckels registered the trade name ‘zwilling j.a. henckels' with the knife guild in solingen. since then, the brand has become an international player and the products are used in many kitchens all around the world.
Z
willing is after creating the highest quality, which can be seen in all its products. Zwilling really takes it to the next level. For instance, they have been involved in developing the steel type.
Parts of the bridge are even processed in the damast steel of the knives. It sounds easier than it actually is, especially if you want to keep the regular high standard. Of course, the anniversary knife has the same shape as the beloved Zwilling 1731-series.
For their 285-year anniversary, and to celebrate the strong relationship with Solingen, they have released an exclusive anniversary knife. J.A. Zwilling Henckels has designed 'Mungsten'-damast steel especially for this occasion. The name comes from the iconic bridge in the Solingen region.
For Zwilling 'Made in Solingen' stands for a great combination of materials and shape. The quality is amazing, but that speaks for itself!

Review
Kizer Gemini By Stephan from YouTube channel stephan123321
B
efore I received the Kizer Gemini, I was afraid it was going to be a bit small for my hands. This is definitely not the case, and Ray Laconico’s design is so beautiful that I am extremely happy being the proud owner of a Gemini.
It excels by the impressive finish and is very elegant. The smooth lines of the Gemini are a feast for the eyes. The flat ground blade of S35VN-steel opens smoothly and rapidly thanks to the ceramic ball bearings. This is definitely one of the strong points of the Gemini!

Kizer has made an outstanding knife, that’s for sure. The things that really stand out are the excellent workmanship, quality materials, usability and of course the beautiful design. Technically speaking, the Gemini is amazing! It excels by the impressive finish and is very elegant. The most important aspect of the Gemini is that really invites you to use it. The solid build and blade length of 8.0 cm makes the Gemini suitable for all kinds of daily chores. The length of 18.5 cm and weight of only 101 grams make it a perfect EDC. I would recommend the Kizer Gemini to anyone looking for a beautiful pocket knife which you can use for all kinds of things. Every time I use it I say to myself: "well done, Kizer... well done!"

searing meat
in a stainless steel pan Searing meat works best in a stainless steel pan without a non-stick coating. It may look tricky, but with the right technique you can cook like a pro. Anyone can!
1.
3
Make sure the pan is well heated. You can see whether it’s hot enough by dropping a few drops of water in the pan. When the drops of water ‘dance around’ inside the pan it is the right temperature.
Now it boils down to patience! The meat will stick to the bottom of the pan, but will bake ‘loose’ after a while. You really have to resist the urge to touch the meat. It will pay off in the end! The moment the piece of meat doesn’t stick to the bottom is the time to flip it over.
2. Pour two tablespoons of vegetable oil in the pan and put the piece of meat in straight away. P ro- tip The bottom of the Fissler Steelux-frying pans have a Novogrill surface. It means you can bake without even using oil!

Morakniv Garberg The full-tang bushcraft knife swedish morakniv, or simply just mora, has made many popular knives. the sturdiest so far is the new morakniv garberg.
M
orakniv was founded in 1891 by Frost-Erik Erson. After a trip to the US he began designing knives and started a knife factory in his home village Mora. Most Mora knives are brightly coloured, fixed blades with wooden or plastic handles. They are extremely reasonably priced and very functional. Therefore, many outdoor enthusiasts really love Mora. Because of the reasonable prices, it doesn’t matter as much should one get lost.
The metal of the blade sticks out from the back so you can use it to hammer with. The extra weight of this knife, compared to the traditional Mora’s, is really helpful. Mora and outdoor go hand in hand, and it says a lot they call the Garberg their most durable knife ever. When you go outdoors, take a Mora Garberg!
Now there is the Garberg. This fixed blade is a bigger, heavier and more luxurious version of the standard Mora knives. The full tang blade runs entirely through the handle which makes it virtually indestructible. With very heavy duty, this knife will not let you down.
