Friday EDC CXLIII "Pocket Kings"

Another Friday is here—a good one, it seems. The weather is sunny, the work day is going smoothly, and, most importantly, I feel "sunny." 

The day will be mostly spent working and then taking it easy and doing some crafting at home. There will be a little extra luxury in the way of cooking as my dear wife and I are celebrating our engagement anniversary. It will be beef fillet and some kind of herb butter and probably some variation of baked root vegetables to go with it. But I haven't thought of that yet. 

At work, I have just been treated to classic Swedish "kalops". It's a take on a beef stew. Prepared with care, a splash of wine, lots of allspice, and a pile of bay leaves.

"Pocket Kings"

When you are working in a professional kitchen that involves a lot of opening, not least tough plastic packaging and the like, it is good to have a sturdy knife with you. Ferramonster Glideman is one of those. A relatively new acquaintance for me, as the brand has not been on the market for a very long time. At least not that I know of.

But this is my first encounter with it and it is a genuinely positive one. The knife is both well-built and, above all, well thought out. There are several details that are sometimes missed, but this knife excels in those areas. Soon, I will develop that idea somewhat in a review.

Then you can't forget a classic Victorinox. They are simply never wrong. Extremely practical and easy to carry. This happens to be a Pioneer. The golden color comes from the fact that it is the 2019 limited edition.

Together they are phenomenal, so I chose to call the picture "Pocket Kings". The English is mostly because most of my followers are from the rest of the world, not Sweden. I had a Swedish reader who wondered a little about the choice of language.
