I'm finally back home. Well, I was here yesterda but I needed some rest after last 40+ hrs of last day of the show & traveling by car/plain/plain/car. The show was great (as you can expect) and as Bill mentionned Al Mar joined Cutlery Hall of Fame, and that is the most honorable moment of The Blade Banquet every year, much more important than the awards as such (in my opinion).
Let's start with Chris Reeve Knives. CRK introduced Sikayo series of kitchen knives, of which Sikayo Slicer is the "flagship" model. It's long, strong and sharp. And thanksto very special "waved" grind lines it slices through food with ease - all kinds of, from bread with crispy skin to soft tomatoes. Great knife. Chris scored Best Kitchen Knife Of The Year award for this one. Chris also scored for the 9th time Manufacturing Quality Award, which should be now called "Chris Reeve Manufacturing Quality Award" I think :D
Some pictures below:
- Al Mar now in Cutlery Hall of Fame
- Chris receives his award
- Chris & his Sikayo
- Waverly Hotel Restaurant Chief tries Sikayo (and complements the design a lot!)
- Chris' friend, who's also Restaurant Chief in SOuth Africa, and his "Sikayo Show"
