OXO seems to be my favorite brand for kitchen supplies. My favorite knife, a paring knife, is my go-to for everything: fruit, cheese, veggies, sometimes even meat, opening stubborn containers.... It has a nice, soft, non-slip handle.
The knife in question:
The knife seems to be out of stock, but there is a similar knife on oxo's website; it has a different handle though.
I also found out that our oven mitts are oxo brand. These are nice because the silicone is further heat-resistant, and is super easily to rinse off if stuff gets on them. Accidentally stick your thumb in the casserole? No problem. Just wipe it off. The downside to just cotton/cloth is the staining; and the downside to just silicone is the lack of heat-resistance. These combine both for the best of both worlds. We've had these for years. There's a small rip in the joint between the thumb and the index finger on one of them, but otherwise they've help up remarkably well. There is a magnet embedded in them, so they'll sort of stick together or to metal. They don't stick to my fridge. Too heavy.
There are several different colors available: Cherry (Red), Licorice (Black), Blueberry (shown-Blue), Key Lime (Green), and from Amazon only, Lemon Chiffon (Yellow)
The meat tenderizer is also oxo brand. It's quite heavy, and pounds any cut of meat out, even ones with a good bit of connective tissue. Works great on chicken breasts too. Also great for crushing nuts, cookies, crackers, etc. for a recipe.
They also make mixing bowls with a non slip silicone bottom! How cool is that? No slipping or sliding when you're putting some elbow grease into a mixture. :) If I find any other oxo products in my house, I'll try to add.
