Victorinox is a Swiss Army knife brand
Do you know the brand Victorinox? It is a very famous brand of Swiss Army knives, which is a standard Swiss souvenir. There are many types, from multi-functional carpentry tools for camping enthusiasts to small-sized ones such as simple knives, scissors, and tweezers.

Victorinox is actually very useful in the kitchen
Although Victorinox has a strong image of being used outdoors or as a carry-on item, it is actually widely used in ordinary households in Switzerland. The most popular type is a simple small knife. You can buy it for only 3.3 Swiss francs (as of July 2023) at MIGROS, one of Switzerland’s two major supermarket chains, and it’s great for cutting meat, cheese, etc. The wavy blade firmly grips food and provides excellent sharpness. In Swiss households, they are used in the kitchen to cut vegetables, potatoes, etc. but in my house, they appear almost every day at the dinner table.
Impressively sharp tomato knife and tomato peeler
The two new Victorinox products I tried this time were the tomato knife and tomato peeler. When it comes to tomatoes, you may often wonder whether to remove the skin by boiling them quickly or leave them with the skin on. Even though I know that if you take extra time to make it, it will have a nice texture and be easier for elderly people to eat, when I think about the hassle of boiling water and washing, I usually skip this procedure.
The tomato peeler I purchased this time is an excellent peeler that allows you to peel tomatoes just like you would peel an apple, without having to worry about such trouble. Sometimes it is difficult to penetrate the skin with a regular knife, but with this peeler you can easily penetrate the skin and peel it off smoothly, which makes you feel good!
Another great one is tomato knife. As it is purposely named “tomato”, it goes perfectly with tomatoes. The blades are also wave-shaped, which allows the knife to easily fit into the tomato skin. A tomato knife that allows you to slice thinly, something you’ve never tried before. The handles come in pop colors of green, pink, etc, and will brighten up your kitchen!
Cooking can be fun just by having a few good cooking utensils! When you see Victorinox knives, please give them a try.
