Review of Scanpan Spectrum knives
Okay, so I bought the Scanpan Spectrum knife because a), it was fluorescent green, and b), it was from Denmark. For
some reason, I tend to associate anything from Scandinavian countries with quality. That, and tall blond people with sexy accents.
This knife’s blade is also coloured which makes it different. It also came in orange, and yellow. The green one called out to me.
I bought the knife at a store called The Zone, in Ottawa. After some digging online, I saw that it also comes in three other bight bold colours(see pic). The knife measures 12 centimeters.
This knife is super sharp and it works terrifically. It comes with a blade protector so that it doesn’t get dull from mixing with your other utensils.
I love using this knife to cut fruits and veggies, but also use it on cheese, chocolate, and whatever else I deem worthy of being cut by it. Yes, I like it this much. I still don’t want it to go in the dishwasher, even though it says it is dishwasher safe.
The knives are made of high carbon stainless steel and feature a non-stick coating. They’re also really lightweight.
I’d say they’d make a perfect gift for anyone who likes to cook. They aren’t that expensive either; from what I remember, the knife was around 8 dollars. (Don’t quote me on that)
I’m thinking I’d like to head back downtown to buy a few more.
Enjoy!

OMG I love the way these knives look! I’ve tried to find them on line but can’t seem to find anywhere that will ship to the U S. If you happen to know of a site where I could get them, please let me know.
Love your blog

Hi Barb,
I’ve been searching around for you, but I can’t find any either. Their website says for USA customers to call :
For USA Consumers: 877-772-5467
I haven’t given up. I will email you if I find something.

I just bought myself a yellow one while on holiday back in Australia. So glad I didn’t leave it with my Mum!! I can’t find it here either yet. Which is a pity because I want more….

Have seen sets on sale on eBay, but you can also order them here: http://www.kitchenwaresuperstore.com.au/scanpan-spectrum-c-1266.html?page=2 Free shipping in Australia, but they will ship internationally.
