Fusionwood Chefs Knives- Elegant knives for Artist Chefs

We've received a set of the Fusionwood paring and 8" Chef knives here at Kitchen Contraptions from New West Knifeworks. We can safely say these are beautiful knives which make you want to chop, dice, and slice more food than the recipe calls for. The Fusionwood knives are made from premium high-carbon stainless tool steel, and the beautiful multi-colored hardwood veneer handles are fused into a technically flawless culinary instrument for professional or home chefs. The chefs knives Fine Cooking magazine called "Knife Art", and we agree.
We can't think of a better replacement for our current 8" Chef knife, and the paring knife was more than perfect for some apple pie madness this past weekend. Simply put - the Fusion Wood knives are a treat to use. These knives put a smile on our face each time we use them (even seeing them puts a smile on our face too).

Victorinox Cutlery 7-Inch Granton Edge Santoku Knife

Lately we've been obsessed with replacing our kitchen knives. We really love any of our Japanese-style cook knives, and this 7-inch Japanese-style cook's knife is designed for chopping, slicing, dicing. It features alternating hollows on the blade's sides to prevent food from clinging, and is made from stamped from stain-resistant, high-carbon steel that can be resharpened over and over. Really - we just love how they mow through any vegetables we prep, and the flat blade looks really cool.

Knife Block Blasts Germs with UV-C Rays

Looking for a high tech solution for an age old problem can lead you down lots of paths, but we always love when it lead to UV-C rays. Okay - we prefer lasers, but this knife block uses safe UV-C light--the same technology used in hospitals to kill surface bacteria on instruments--to eliminate 99.99% of food bacteria and viruses from cutlery in 20 seconds. The ultraviolet bulb sanitizes knives up to 8 3/4" long from tip to bolster, killing pathogens like salmonella, listeria, and staphylococcus to help prevent cross contamination and food-borne illness. Simply rinse the knives and place them in the block; the heat from the bulb dries knives as they are sterilized.
