TAFE Tool Kit Set

Bunch of tools necessary for my Cert III in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery) chuck into a crappy tool box. Standard box of tools at a discounted price of $199; retail prices for the Cook's Knife $60, Filleting Knife $40, Boning Knife $30, Steel $40, Tool Box $30, etc... so price is worth it and easier for me to not have to look for little bitty detail items like the correct cookie cutter set. The TAFE toolkit contains:

• 250mm Victoinox Fibrox Chef's knife
• 180mm Victorinox Fibrox flexible filleting knife
• 150mm Victorinox Fibrox stiff narrow boning knife
• 100mm Victoinox Paring knife
• 12" Mundial "Regular cut" steel (ie coarse File for knives)
• 350mm Piano wire whisk
• 40mm natural bristle brush
• Tomkin 250mm Palette knife
• Tomkin Piping noozles plain and star patterns
• 460mm Tomkin Thermotex piping bag
• Messermeister Zester/Channeller
• Messermeister Melon Baller
• Victorinox Rex peeler
• Ateco 3-sided aluminium decorating comb
• Double-sided plastic cookie cutters
• Plastic bowl scraper
• Tenton digital Thermometer
• Nylex Tool Box

Trenton Dial Thermometer

Trenton Pocket Thermometer -10-100*C

I killed it at TAFE a long time ago, the dial window melted from what I can’t remember then I threw it out in the bin.

Monopol 'Rex' Peeler

Monopol U-Peeler My favourite peeler; sharp, versatile, cheap, ergonomic and easy to use, blade engages food easily at many angles (unlike the Victorinox peeler)

No name zester/channeller

Victorinox Fixed Peeler

Victorinox Fixed double edge-Peeler

Victorinox Serrated Utility knife

Victorinox Tomato-Cheese knife Pretty hopeless serrations, lousy on crusty breads and tomatoes. Sharp knives work much better, my least used knife of them all.

Victorinox Turning knife

Victorinox 'Bird's Beak' Turning knife Weird shape to sharpen, used my cheapo Jewelstick diamond steel to cut a new edge.

Victorinox 'Sheepsfoot' Paring knife

Victorinox 'Flat' Paring knife My favourite shape for a paring knife as the dropped tip prevents my from stabbing myself as with spear tips.

Nylex Toolbox

Nylex 'Rubbish' Tool Box

Ateco 3-sided aluminium decorating comb

Crappy soft metal, get damaged easily knocking the  teeth out of shape.

Upgraded to a simpler plastic two sided decorating comb.

Messermeister Zester-Channeler

Messermeister Zester-Channeler, part of the TAFE toolkit. a proper zester and channeller that actually cuts smoothly unlike el-cheapo and has very nice fat rubberised handle.

Victorinox 18cm Fibrox Filletting knife

Victorinox "Rex" U-Peeler

Mundial 12" Regular Cut Steel

Mundial 12" Regular Cut Steel Coarse as to me, feels absolute horrible to steel knives on this steel. Feeling that rough buzz.

Messermeister Parisienne and Noisette Scoop 25/22mm

Victorinox 15cm Fibrox Boning knife
