Featuring Swiss Advance’s Outdoor Kitchen Tools

In this constantly changing and evolving technological world we live in, new products that change the way we approach aspects of our lives, the way we think, and the quality of our experiences here on this planet tend to popup all of the time, and with each advancement, our lives are altered in a way that eases the existential pains while allowing us to operate better, easier, faster, safer, and beyond. Today, I feature Switzerland’s own Swiss Advance, which is a product development company that specializes in producing unique takes on outdoor cooking and eating, focused on sustainable responsibility, as they understand, like me, that it is the beautiful natural areas of the world that are worth preserving, and enjoying.

First, I’d like to single out Swiss Advance’s Crono N5 knife, which is a unique and creative Swiss pocket knife that is a more modern interpretation of the famous Swiss Army knife. The Crono is made of German steel and Swiss precision, and since it’s truly lightweight, the Crono is ideal for backpackers, campers, hikers, and anyone who prefers to roam, explore, and be out among the wilder areas for an extended period of time. Weight is a massive concern for backpackers of any kind, because every ounce and every inch matters greatly when you must carry everything you own on your back, in one pack. That’s where the Crono’s specialities come in, because it’s lightweight and flat, but that’s not where its features stop.

The Crono N5 features a screwdriver, bottle opener, fish scaler, fork, square, bradawl and sewing, knife blade, nail drawer, scale, hexagon and screw wrench, which means it’s a true multi-tool that can handle a myriad of situations abroad. The knife comes nice and sharp, advertised to cut like butter, with a blade length of 2.36-inches. The Crono N5 weighs in at 41-grams, measuring 3.74” x 0.63” x 0.23”, so it can be used as an everyday use knife and can be carried in a pant’s pocket without issue, and with little notice.

Next, Swiss Advance has taken liberties with the traditional BBQ tongs, making them similarly to the Crono, as they are two stainless steel pieces that interlock to create a bendable tool, perfect for backpackers. It’s a simple design that saves a whole lot of space, while giving the user a dynamic tool for cooking at home or abroad. The BBQ tongs work well, though I would like to see a larger version to be used over larger fires, because I often camp with friends and family and would love to use them for larger projects. The Thyla BBQ tongs weight in at 78-grams, and measures at 9.88” x 1.02”.

Finally, the Arcto is Swiss Advance’s salt and pepper shaker, which is an improved design over most traditional shakers, because it opens and locks with a click, providing a splash proof, easy to use tool for keeping spices and herbs fresh when traveling abroad. Some trips are destined to be wet, depending on the weather, the season and the region of course, and so the Arcto keeps with their lightweight theme by offering the user an easy way to store and carry salts, peppers, and other spices, without worrying that the shaker will spill inside luggage or stick because of humidity. The Arcto container weighs in at 45-grams, and is about 2” x 2”.
