Victorinox 48792 Cutlery 6-Piece Steak Knife Set

RH Forschner by Victorinox is the knife of choice for professionals and consistently receives high accolades in product testing. This best-in-class commercial grade cutlery is now available for home use. RH Forschner by Victorinox knives feature high carbon, stainless steel blades, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen. A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade. Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension. They provide a natural fit. A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife. A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both. Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

When steak is on the menu, pull out this set of six steak knives from Victorinox (model 88792), each of which features a pointed tip and serrated edge. Because the blades are stamped rather than forged the price is kept reasonable, yet the high-carbon, stainless steel is extremely durable and the ground, tempered edges maintain their razor-sharpness for a considerable length of time. The molded polypropylene handles provide a sure grip, have no grooves or rivets to harbor bacteria, and are dishwasher-safe. All in all, the knives are lightweight, very sharp, and designed to slice through meat with ease.

Started in 1884 in Switzerland, Victorinox is perhaps best known as the manufacturer of the Original Swiss Army Knife. Today Victorinox by R.H. Forschner makes everyday cutlery for the home as well as professional forged cutlery and multi-purpose tools.

A Plan To Make Assassin's Creed Altair Costume

First, collect good pictures of the costume as possible as you can. This would be very helpful when you are planning and shopping the fabrics. Also make sure you are skilled at cutting and stitching. If not, hire a seamstress to realize your design.

Second, find nice fabric. A good choice for the robe and cloak would be canvas or linen as they are used a lot in the middle age and look like the texture used in the game. The natural canvas color is really ideal to make the costume.

Third, look for other parts of his clothes. He has a light grey shirt and grey/tan pants. The shirt could be linen, while the pants could be denim, cotton or a lighter kind of canvas.

Reminder: If you are lucky, you can also find all separate parts of the costume in different attire stores and alter them to match and form the costume.

Forth, make sure the costume look is finished delicately. According to the picture you collect, find proper fabric for the belt/sash. Also in this regard, use the color that appears rich in a dark shaded texture, which made of 55% rayon 45% linen is perfect.

Fifth, choose whether we want to make the leather parts out of real leather or leather. If the budget permits, the real leather tends to be more ideal as some kind of leather could have a nice look and texture.

Sixth, use the ribbon for the "sleeves" of the sleeveless robe. When working on the patterns, the robes, shirts, pants and hood looks are fairly simple to achieve. However, the hardest part of the Altair costume would be the belts. The custom patterns for the large "belt' and hardness seeming boots are both the finishing touches of the vivid ensemble. The sharply vivid details attached matter a lot. You can just finish a detailed cover on a pair of cheap boots!

Finally, find the accessories, the knives and sword. It would not be a problem as long as you find detailed video tutorial online.

Then do the armor on his left arm, another significant detail of his cool look. This could be done in many ways, sculpting the piece and making a fiberglass or resin copy, out of crack foam, etc.

The last step is to distress the costume for a hard effect. Well, these tips are all on the first phase of making the costume! But it can be predicted that the finished look will be somehow a real return of Assassin's Creed Altair.

All in all, for Assassin's Creed Altair costume, the fabric choice plays a big role in achieving a good result. If you really worry the budget, blend leather and faux leather for the leather-should part. Some hard textures like linen, canvas and leathers like pig suede are more likely to vividly express that feel of the original look. Wish you a full enjoyment in exploring fun with Assassin's Creed Altair cosplay!

Proper Procedures For English Tea Time

For that matter, the concept for English tea time emerged. However, in an English tea time, there are certain rules to be followed, and that was termed as "English tea time etiquette".

So what then is the English tea time etiquette?

The English tea time etiquette is said to have drastically evolved for over the years. In the early days, the gentlemen are allowed to pour their hot tea into the saucer to make it cool before drinking, but now, as the English tea time continue to change, such act is not at all acceptable in a society wherein an English tea time is held. In English tea time etiquette such person performing that act in an English tea time is considered as quite rude. Another important thing that is under English tea time etiquette is the keeping of the English tea under lock and key only to be brought out by the hostess to brew and mix is considered obsolete and unnecessary in an English tea time.

Furthermore, in an English tea time, there are certain rules to be followed for English tea time etiquette if the host or hostess desired to give a proper tea service. For English tea time etiquette, it is important that first the host or hostess must forward invitations to his/her guests. In this English tea time etiquette, the invitations are provided to let the guests know what they will expect and prepare for that certain English tea time party. For this English tea time etiquette, the information must be made clearly in the invitation to prevent any bewildering moments for the guests of a particular English tea time party.

For English tea time etiquette, it is also vital that ensuring the essential items for a tea is there. In English tea time, there must always a tea pot such as china to create an intimate tea for English tea time, and silver tea pots to have a formal tea for a certain English tea time. In a typical English tea time the presence of cups and saucers, teaspoons, a sugar bowl and sugar tongs, tea strainer, lemon dish and fork, and serving utensils are very necessary. In English tea time, the fork is used if cake is served. Knives are used in English tea time if jam or cream is eaten on scones. And it is as well important for English tea time etiquette that each jam and cream dish has its own serving spoon.

Lastly, in a certain English tea time, for English tea time etiquette, one must consider that if it is going to be a bigger English tea time party, the hostess should not stay in the kitchen; instead she must be around mingling and entertaining her acquaintances. And in an English tea time party, to maintain the English tea time etiquette, the refreshments must be placed on the table and not anywhere else, and this is done for English tea time etiquette if the guests are seated.

So just imagine how wonderful it is to be able to please the guests with proper English tea time etiquette.

Knife Sharpening How-to

Testing Your Blade
A number of simple tests exist to test the sharpness of your hunting knife. Some outdoorsmen test a knife's sharpness by shaving a small patch of hair on their arms or hands. This test is quick and effective but, let's be honest, a little dangerous for a novice. For those not confident that they can tell their blade is dull, there are blade edge testing kits available at through outdoor equipment retailers. These kits can be expensive.

Experienced hunters can often tell if a blade is dull just by looking at it. To visually look for dullness, hold the blade with the edge in line with a strong light source and move it back and forth a bit. If you see a reflection or glint then you have a dull blade. If all else fails, walk into your outdoor goods store and ask a professional to help you assess knife sharpness.

The Right Tools
Once you have concluded that your knife needs sharpening, you will need to get your hands on the right sharpening equipment. Sharpening stones are effective, commonly used, and come in a variety of styles and sizes. When purchasing a stone, look for one made from compounds with a relative hardness of 9 or higher. Stones made from bonded aluminum oxide or silicon carbide work very well, as does silicon carbide sandpaper glued to a wooden block or something similar.

A sharpening guide is a clamp-like tool that attaches to the blade of the knife and aids in controlling the angle of the blade. This may be helpful for notice knife sharpeners because they are the only way to guarantee an accurate sharpening angle. More advanced hunters may find them unnecessary.

Sharpening The Blade
There are two basic steps to correctly sharpening a blade. The first is to develop a burr, or, a rough, ragged edge on the surface of the blade. Once that is created, the blade then needs to be polished until the edge is smooth.

To develop a burr, first set the angle of the blade correctly and then grind one side until you have removed the old edge. Continue grinding until you can feel the burr with your thumb; it should feel jagged and serrated. Once you have a nice burr on one side, flip the blade over and raise a burr on the other. Keep in mind that some knives (ceramic and very hard steel primarily) will not raise a burr. If you've tried raising a burr on your blade without any success, you may have one of these kinds. Consult a professional for information on sharpening these blades.

Once you've raised a burr on your blade take the time to put some finishing touches on your knife by polishing the blade. There are three basic polishing strokes you can use to finish the sharpening process - on-stroke, off-stroke, or circular strokes. The off-stroke is the easiest technique for beginners. Begin to grind away the burr made by the first stone you used. The burr should gradually begin to fade. Once it is almost undetectable, switch to the circular stroke and finish grinding off the old scratch pattern. Finish up by using light strokes to get rid of the remaining burr. At this point your blade should be extremely sharp, with no burr and only micro-serrations.

Don't be afraid to ask professionals for help. Woodworkers and butchers are usually more qualified in the art of sharpening than knife makers or collectors. Ask one in your area if they can assist you or provide you with some simple techniques.

It is important for all your hunting tools to be in prime condition before you go on a trip, and your knife is no exception. With these tools and proper techniques you can effectively sharpen your knife before or during your trip and not have to worry about the problems a dull blade can cause.

About Swiss Army Knives
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

The surgical stainless steel blade of the Fast Draw folding knife deploys quickly and easily with one hand allowing it to spring into action. The pocket clip keeps it close. Ready to draw. FAST.Overall Length: 7.13"Closed Length: 4.17"Blade Length: 2.99"Weight: 3.6oz

Whether you're finishing up a weekend project in the garage or heading up a mountain rescue operation, Gerber's Serrated FAST Draw 22-47161 Folding Knife is ready to help you take on the challenge. Strong yet lightweight, this fun and easy-to-use knife features the patented F.A.S.T. blade opening technology that is pleasingly easy to open with just one hand.

The Gerber FAST Draw 22-47161 Folding Knife offers:

• A 2.99-inch serrated, drop-point blade
• Strong, high-carbon stainless steel
• F.A.S.T. spring assisted opening
• A durable, glass-filled nylon handle

The FAST Draw knife is durable, lightweight, and reliable. View larger.

View larger. Innovative Technology for Quick, Reliable Deployment
The FAST Draw relies on Forward Action Spring Technology, or F.A.S.T., that was designed exclusively for Gerber and patented by famed Oregon knife maker Butch Vallotton. Butch is known as "Mr. Mechanism" in the custom-knife world, a tribute to his unique designs and exceptional understanding of opening and locking mechanisms. This new, proprietary blade opening concept means that you can deploy your knife quickly and easily using just one hand.

Of course, when a job calls for more deliberate actions, you can also open this knife in the traditional way, using the thumb stud. This is the closest you can get to a street legal switch-blade.

Convenient, Safe, and Dependable Over Time
A sharp knife is not only more useful than a dull knife, it's also safer to use. With a strong, sharp blade, you can make the cuts you want quickly and efficiently. That's why Gerber uses a high-carbon stainless steel blade on the FAST Draw. This large, 2.99-inch blade offers a serrated cutting surface that is perfect for tough jobs like rope and scaling fish. FAST Draw is the first in a series of knives utilizing "Fast Technonogy." Others include the Mini-Fast, Draw, Aluminum Presto 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, Vallotton, PR2.5 and PR3.0, Convert Fast, Mini Convert Fast, Answer 3.25, Tanto and Drop Point F.A.S.T.

This drop point blade, which is stronger than the clip-point style blades used on many pocket knives, fits neatly in the handle when not in use, so you don't have to worry about damaging it or hurting yourself.

The knife is precisely balanced to sit comfortably in your hand and features a glass-filled nylon handle for strength and durability. Texturing on the handle surface ensures a secure grip for improved control.

At just 3.6 ounces, the slim FAST Draw knife is light enough to take with you anywhere. And with the included sturdy pocket clip, you always know right where your knife is.

Gerber's History of Ingenuity
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.

For more than half a century, Gerber Legendary Blades has been helping people fend for themselves. Gerber designs popular, dependable tools and knives along with other outdoor gear that helps users accomplish whatever tasks they may be faced with, promoting the lost art of self-reliance.

Effective Use Of Camouflage Clothing In Wilderness Survival

Camouflage Clothing in Hunting

First things first, make sure you have the necessary survival equipment such as a compass, a hunting knife, a flint, and a water canteen before venturing in the outdoors unprepared. Aside from that, you also need effective camouflage clothing so that you can blend in the thick forest foliage when hunting for food or evading from dangerous animals.

One of the most important things that you should do when you are in the outdoors is finding food. In some places, finding edible fruits would be difficult that is why you need to hunt for small to big game animals. You have to practise stealth and deception because hunting for food is not easy especially when dealing with fast and nimble rabbits, birds and deer. When you hunt, you need camouflage clothing or any camouflage products to blend in the environment. Choose the right camouflage design and pattern because the forest foliage changes colour as the green summer trees are transformed into reddish-yellowish canopy of falling leaves in autumn and covered by white snow in the winter.

Camouflage for Personal and Wildlife Protection

Before you venture out further, you need to bring first aid kit and even emergency food ration. Bear in mind that you need to protect yourself from the potential hazards that you will encounter in the wilderness. If you have a rifle, bring enough ammunition in your chest webbing. Also consider non-lethal ammunition and tranquilizers since there are endangered animals like kangaroos and dingos that are protected by federal and state laws.

Concealment and Deception Strategies

In wilderness survival, effective camouflage is a good combination of concealment and deception. Use camouflage clothing to the advantage when hunting for small to big game animals. Hide in the bushes for cover without alerting your prey. As for hunting sensitive and nimble animals like deer. wild boars and even feral livestock, you need to practise good concealment and deception strategies. Do avoid encounters with taipan and tiger snakes, salt-water crocodiles, and scorpions so that you have enough time to go to a much safer place.

Whether if you are a casual or an experienced outdoorsman, you need camouflage for hunting and personal protection. When you venture into a humid rainforest or a hot Australian outback, you need to master concealment and deception. In wilderness survival, you only need to understand three important words - outwit, outplay, and outlast.

About the Company

Combat Kit Australia is a Brisbane-based specialty store that sells camouflage products, survival kit, and outdoor and camping supplies. It specialises in protective gear and clothing, chest webbing, survival equipment, bivi bag, and weapon accessories.

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools FSA-7 Flash I Straight Edge

SOG Flash I Straight - edge Folding Knife. Perhaps one of the coolest knives you've ever seen Forget its wicked-quick blade access, that it handles like a race car on rails, or that it locks up like Alcatraz. It just looks and feels extraordinary. The Flash family of knives feature SOG Assisted Technology (S.A.T.), which employs a powerful piston lock that is easily released with a sliding button. The Flash I comes with glass-reinforced Zytel handle and straight edge, satin finished blade. All Flash knives come standard with SOG's patent pending, reversible bayonet mounted clip that ensures the lowest, most discreet carry possible. They also had the foresight to incorporate an additional safety lock that gives added security when the blade is closed. More on S.A.T.: SOG Assisted Technology works through the balance of opposing high-tension coil springs. As one opens the blade the force to propel the knife open becomes greater than the closing force and the blade will open on its own. The end result propels the blade out once the operator has initiated the one-handed opening action. S.A.T. works so well that right-handers can use their left hand equally well to open a folding knife (of course this works oppositely for lefties). Blade length: 2.5" x .09"; Overall length: 5.75"; Weight: 1.3 oz.; Edge: Straight; Steel: AUS 8; HRC: 57-58; Handle: Zytel; Finish: Satin; Assembled in the USA. Order yours today! WARNING: You must be 18 or older to purchase Cutlery. Cutlery cannot be shipped to CA; CT; DE; HI; IL; KS; LA; ME; MI; MO; NJ; NV; PA; D.C.; MA; Canada or Puerto Rico. Please check your State, County and City laws for restrictions before ordering Cutlery. SOG Flash I Straight-edge Folding Knife, Satin

Sleek, attractive, and easy to operate, the FSA-7 Straight-Blade Knife from the Flash I Series showcases SOG's sophisticated style and quality construction. Featuring advanced opening and locking technology, a well-balanced body, and a strong, dependable blade, this versatile folding knife makes quick work of the task at hand.

The SOG FSA-7 Flash I Knife Offers:

• A straight blade with satin finish
• Patented SOG Assisted Technology for fast, easy opening
• A strong, reliable blade locking system
• A contoured, glass-reinforced Zytel handle

A strong, reliable piston lock holds the blade in place while you cut. View larger.

The 2.5-inch, heat-treated blade provides you with a versatile, dependable cutting edge. View larger.

SOG Assisted Technology Increases Speed, Safety, and Usability
When you go to unfold the FSA-7's blade, SOG's patented S.A.T. (SOG Assisted Technology) takes over. High-tension coil springs propels the blade open, so you can easily access the FSA-7's blade with just one hand.

Additionally, the unique design of S.A.T. offers security and peace of mind by incorporating locking mechanisms that are stronger, more reliable, and easier to access than other mechanisms. For Flash Series knives, this means the blade is held in place with a reliable piston lock that can be quickly released with a sliding button. An additional safety lock offers extra security when the blade is closed, and for easy reference, the lock switch shows red when the knife is ready to be opened.

Cryogenic Heat Treatment Guarantees a Sharp, Dependable Blade
The FSA-7 offers a full, 2.5-inch, satin-finished, AUS8 stainless steel straight blade that has undergone SOG's proprietary Cryogenic Heat Treatment process, which ensures that the blade will stay sharp over the long haul. This intensive process takes more than 48 hours and involves slowly reducing the blade's temperature to less than -300 degrees Fahrenheit, then slowly heating the blade to room temperature. The stress created by this process strengthens the steel on an atomic level and increases the blade's overall durability and edge retention.

Ergonomic, Lightweight Design Ensures Comfortable Use
Even if your blade is sharp, it's hard to make precise cuts if your knife doesn't fit comfortably in your hand. That's why this knife's handle is ergonomically contoured. Crafted from tough, glass-reinforced Zytel, the textured handle is also slip-free and well-balanced.

And at just 1.3 ounces, this knife is lightweight and easy to carry. A reversible, bayonet-mounted clip extends from the back of the handle, allowing the knife to sit low in your pocket for the most discreet carry possible.

This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty that protects against defects in manufacturing and materials.

Hunting Knife Styles And Uses

Types of Hunting Knives
Hunting knives generally can be categorized into two categories, fixed blade knives and folding blades. Folding blades' most common forms are lock-back folding and pocket knives. These knives can all be found in collector styles or in tactical forms. It really depends on your needs and interests as to which style you choose.

Fixed Blade Knives
Fixed blade and folding are the two main styles of hunting knife. Fixed blade knives are generally the more rugged and reliable. Fixed blade knives like the Coast Bowie Knife or the Puma Rolled Stag White Hunter are both good examples of high quality fixed blade hunting knives because of their superior stainless steel blades and sturdy handles. Fixed blades are also very easy to clean. Fixed blade knives, however, are generally bulkier, heavier, and potentially dangerous if not packed and handled properly. Hunters planning to do a lot of hiking or climbing might want to steer clear of a fixed blade or purchase a high-quality protective sheath.

Folding Knives
For most hunting trips, folding blade knives are strong and durable enough for the tasks at hand. Folding knives do just as the name implies - the blade folds into the handle, protecting the blade and the user from cutting themselves and reducing the overall size of the knife. There are two main types of folding knives - lock-backs and pocketknives.

Lock-Back Folding Blades
Lock-back folding blades have nearly the same strength and durability of fixed blade knives but have the added benefit of being safer and easier to pack. Many lock-back knives allow for one hand operation making it easier to use when you are all alone or juggling multiple pieces of equipment. Lock-back blades are also much safer - their blade locking mechanism ensures that the blade will not flip back unexpectedly cutting the user.

Pocket Knives
Pocketknives are usually more versatile than lock-back or fixed-blade knives. They are more compact, easy to carry and, if purchased from a reputable brand, can provide all the strength needed to skin or gut game.

Choosing Your Knife
Remember, when choosing your hunting knife, practicality is the most important thing to consider. It may seem like the right idea to buy a ten-inch fixed blade giant but the knife may prove too large and cumbersome to use in a more common hunting scenario. Most hunters do not need anything larger than a four- to five-inch blade.

The fundamentals of the high-quality, reliable hunting knife will continue to remain constant. A well-made fixed or folding blade knife suitable for your hunting needs will make your next hunting trip fruitful and rewarding.
