Let's take a closer look at several more manufacturers of shish kebab sets, which, judging by customer reviews, are among the most popular.

A shish kebab set is purchased for more than one season, unless, of course, this is a one-time aluminum Chinese option, so you should approach it with all responsibility. First of all, you need to decide what type to buy. If this is a gift, then remember who the birthday person is. For example, an office worker who manages to get outside a couple of times during the summer will be able to use a full-fledged practical wooden case, but if he is a hunter who goes to the forest every weekend, he will be very uncomfortable wandering around with a heavy diplomat, and in this case it is better to choose a lightweight set in a leather case. When choosing, pay attention to other criteria.

• Unfortunately, because of their popularity, shish kebab sets are often fake. In departments for recreation and tourism, always pay attention to the seller’s presence of all relevant documents and a passport for the goods. If there is no passport for the products, then decent manufacturers usually have a separate passport for the knives included in the set.
• It is allowed to buy a gift set through online stores, but keep in mind that more than 80% of the products presented are Chinese-made and their quality is significantly lower than those sets that are offered by stationary retail outlets in your city. If you buy a barbecue set over the Internet, it is recommended to order it through the official website of the manufacturer.
• Choose kits that include steel knives marked 65x13. This steel grade has high-quality cutting properties and is not subject to corrosive processes.

• Be sure to check the strength of the skewers. Make sure they are not bent. Currently, options are offered not only in metal, but also in bamboo, wood, bronze, marble, sometimes they even have interspersed with gold and silver, however, choose classic stainless steel specimens, they are much more reliable and durable.
• Carefully inspect the case or case. On the case, check the quality of the fasteners, make sure that all parts are intact, and that there are no scratches or chips on the surface. Choose a product from genuine leather, this option will last much longer than from leatherette.
• If a kit is selected in a wooden box, then inspect the product for cracks and deformations. Make sure that the suitcase is made of natural wood.
• If you need skewers with beautifully decorated handles as a gift, you can try to order an individual copy. Now masters have many opportunities to create truly exquisite elements for the elite. For example, in the manufacture of marble, decorative stones, jasper or a coil can be used, it is possible to use precious or semiprecious stones.

• The same goes for the design of the case or case. There are many different variations and color schemes in stores.It can be black or brown items for an experienced hunter, graceful paintings in light colors, original red cases or cases made of snake and crocodile skin for representative people.
• Make sure the quality of the mounts is not only outside, but also inside the case. Check how reliable the internal equipment is. Feel free to check the kit several times directly in the store, because it is very important that the assembly does not cause difficulties and inconvenience and does not take much time. For example, leather straps with a metal button that secure all the elements on the wall of the suitcase would be a good option. Such devices can be seen on the Russian Hunt model.
• Pay particular attention to filling the kit. Skewers, a knife, a barbecue are often included in the kit by default, but it is much more convenient if the kit includes additional piles, forks, spoons, plates, bowls. Such a set will be delighted not only by the birthday man, but also by his wife, because it is on her shoulders that the assembly of dishes usually lies. If you have a complete set, you can put all the dishes in the case immediately after washing from the previous picnic, and then the set will be ready for departure in advance and it will not take anyone time to assemble it.
