| IKEA Paring Knife - $1.99 AUD |
YES!
I can't believe how effective this knife is.
It could well be that as a non-chef, non-foodie, knives have never been a high priority in my kitchen so I may not actually know what to look for in a knife. I know my husband gets frustrated with the in-effective tools currently sitting in the knife block. (My argument is that they were a wedding present and we should be damn grateful for them instead of whining about them.)
But now that I've seen what this little gem can do, I think I might ditch the 18 year old wedding gift and be done with gratitude and get a new set from IKEA.

Getting the school lunches ready, chopping up salads and cutting up fruit has never been so easy for me. I'm serious!
I may have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, but next time you're in IKEA take two bucks with ya and give it a whirl.
(You may of course turn around and tell me in your best Mick Dundee voice "that's not a knife ..." because you've already got a big ol' fancy set ... but if you are a kitchen peasant like me then this might just be the new utensil for you.)

Another completely random fact: As a teen my husband thought guerrilla warfare was a bunch of fighting monkeys.
Have you used the IKEA knives?
Do you have a fancy set of high performance knives at your joint?
What random "how-something-got-its-name" or "I-completely-got-that-wrong" facts can you share?
We have two knife blocks- the result of merging two households. Neither is the million dollar kind but they go alright! $2 is a bargain!
ReplyDeleteIkea has awesome stuff - we like to make fun of it, and it's a total joyvacuum but you really can't go wrong with their products!!
ReplyDeleteI desperately need new knives and coincidentally am going right past IKEA on the weekend! I'll definitely be popping in there. I'm hoping they have bigger knives too? I'm after knives for cutting up meat.
ReplyDeleteThey do have bigger knives. I was keen to just try the little one to see if it was any good. Turns out it's the best knife I own! I'll also be going back to get the bigger ones.
DeleteFunny you're talking knives ... I sliced my finger quite badly this week. My own fault - too hungry and too hasty! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe have Tupperware knives that are in need of being sharpened. I've never been a knife snob and worried about knives. As long as they cut what I want, I'm happy. Will definitely check out this knife next time I'm in IKEA.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I'm not a big knife person either but have friends who've spent HUNDREDS on them. I don't see the point... as long as they work I'm happy!
ReplyDeleteI need some new knives - mine are all blunt and I don't even have the excuse of them being a wedding present. I'm just too lazy to buy new ones. Next time I'm down near an IKEA I may get one of these - thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing Leanne yet I always worry I will cut myself.. I think choosing knives is hard. You done good, lady!! Denyse
ReplyDeleteI love IKEA's kitchen products! I'm going to have to test these babies out! Our knives are starting to see their final days (thank you, husband for mindlessly chucking them in the dishwasher!)
