Panorama Knife is a small family business based in Ermatingen, Switzerland, that has harnessed the cutting edge beauty of the Swiss Alps and other mountain ranges to create a set of knives as picturesque as they are practical. Essentially, the Panorama Knife blades mimic the dips and rises of various mountain ranges.
The first Panorama Knife revolves around Bernese Oberland in Bern, Switzerland. The second captures the sights near Lake Constance, which connects Germany with Austria and Switzerland. Panorama Knife will soon be adding new knives to their collection, including ones inspired by the the Valais with the Matterhorn, Lucerne by Pilate on the Titlis to Rigi and Zurich, which boasts a wonderful view of the Glarus Alps. Each one can be displayed rather than used.
