The original REX vegetable peeler is a Swiss design classic

The REX vegetable peeler is great for peeling vegetables, fruits and even for slicing chocolate, and cheese. The peeler is suitable for right and left-handers. Also practical: thanks to the bright colors in which our REX peelers come in, there is no longer a tedious search in the cutlery drawer. This Swiss design classic remained unchanged and timeless since 1947, designed by Alfred Neweczerzal.

The ergonomic curved handle is made of recycled aluminum because sustainability is key for us. It is not only made in Switzerland, there is also a lot of craftmanship involved in the production process. The hardened stainless steel blade and potato eye remover on the side are very sharp and make it a perfect companion in your kitchen and a great kitchen utensil. The REX peels extremely thin and economically, so that the best is preserved.

We offer the vegetable peeler in a wide range of beautiful colors. In order to color aluminum, it has to be anodized. In the process, an oxide layer forms on the material, which is formed from the existing aluminum. As a result, the layer is fully integrated. The anodizing protects the aluminum and makes it look beautiful for a long time.

Care instructions anodized aluminum

It is important to be careful when cleaning anodized aluminum. For this purpose, pH-neutral cleaning agents that do not affect the anodized material should be used. Not suitable for the dishwasher: The handle should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The dishwasher's regeneration salt would attack the aluminum and destroy the color. What you can do is to remove the blade after using and clean it separately.

Information movie

This is how the Rex peeler is still produced today. The movie is from 1987. The process of anodizing is not included in this video because it is is a new method. But it's nice to see that there are products that are consistently good, without constant change, right?

Moisture resistant travel salt and pepper shaker

Due to its practical shape and handy size, the Swiss salt and pepper shaker easily finds its place in every pocket and of course in every kitchen cupboard. Opening in your luggage is prevented due to a patented closing mechanism. You will never have a mess of salt, pepper and spices in your backpack again.

It is usable with one hand. Even in the dark you can easily distinguish the different compartments because of slightly different shaped caps. The spice shaker is perfect for backpacking, camping and even emergency contingency supplies. It will keep your spices dry and handy. And of course it is refillable.

How to refill the spice shaker

To refill the compartments of the salt and pepper shaker you have to remove the sprinkling inserts. For that you can use a screwdriver or just a small coin. When it’s done you can make a funnel out of a piece of paper for example and put it in the hole of the compartment. Now you can refill the salt or the pepper.

Where our salt comes from

Did you know that Switzerland was once covered by the sea? When the sea retreated, the salt was trapped in the rocks, because after millions of years other powerful layers of rock covered the salt and protected it from dissolution. When the Alps were formed about a hundred million years ago, the salt and its cover layers were folded. That is where our Swiss Alpine salt comes from.

The DORO stainless steel grill fork is your perfect companion at the campfire and definitely an eye-catcher. Simply attach the BBQ tool to a branch. The fork stays in place through its tension force. You can spike or pinch vegetables or sausages. Turn the fork over the fire to get the best result.

The DORO grill tool is rotation symmetric. This prevents a sudden rotating unbalance when turning over the fire. Before stowing the grill fork after use, we advise you to press a wine cork or something similar onto the tips. This prevents the inside of your bag or backpack getting damaged.

How to Use

The penny knife is a perfect companion for gardening and picnics

Take a penny knife, add a fork and you have a practical outdoor cutlery set.

This pocket knife is an original Taschenfeitel and comes with a centuries-old manufacturing tradition. It has been manufactured manually in Trattenbach in Upper Austria for almost 600 years. The Trattenbacher Taschenfeitel is registered as an intangible cultural heritage. The turned handle is made of beech wood which is a hardwood, typically used in Europe. The interestingly shaped blade is ground on both sides.

What is a penny knife?

A penny knife was a very basic utility knife. The name derives from what it reportedly cost in England and America during the late 18th century. Another legend says that you can't gift a knife without giving a penny. It is an old tradition that comes from the superstition that a gift of a knife cuts friendship ties. If you gift a knife, the recipient hands the giver a penny and symbolically buys the knife. Misfortune averted ...

Care instructions

Dry the blade after use if it gets wet. Do not let the blade air dry (risk of rust film!). Because the knife has a wooden handle, it is not suitable for the dishwasher. Maintain wooden handle regularly with natural oil (e.g. olive oil). Apply the oil sparingly to the handle with a soft cloth.

Great for Traveling, because it is light and space-saving

A useful companion that can be quickly stowed in your pocket, handbag, backpack or suitcase. The self-locking mechanism allows an easy operation. It is a closed mechanism. Sand and dust cannot enter and thus do not block the knife.

The CRONO N5 pocket knife is an extremely light and sustainable Swiss multi tool. Produced in Switzerland we keep the transport routes short. Everything can be taken apart for the recycling. Metal is a great material, because it recycles forever.

Since the blade length is less than 6 cm (4.7 cm/1.85 in), the CRONO pocket knife can even be carried in hand luggage on an airplane. Taking a small pocket knife (up to 6 cm) into the cabin is usually not a problem in Europe. Ultimately, the carrying of sharp objects always depends on the discretion of the security staff. It happened to me that I forgot to take my CRONO out of my jacket pocket and to pack it into my suitcase. The security staff wanted to keep the knife. I kindly asked to double check the regulations because the length of the blade was fairly short. It was measured and another colleague was consulted and in the end I was able to keep the knife and take it on board.

Attention: In America, all sharp objects are prohibited in the flight cabin. However, you should always check the safety regulations of the respective country in advance.
