Trimmable Wood Silverware Tray Organizer, 26-3/4" x 22"

I was going to write awesome twenty times but the bottom line is I love this item. I did spend some time trimming it exactly to my drawer and caulked it on the edges. The I put a full extension slow closer (Blum) on it to take advantage of the rear compartment. Aweso...

F. Dick Foged Premier 8.5-inch Chefs Knife Plus High Carbon No Stain Steel

All though I didn't need it I picked up this knife because I found it deeply discounted.I was't sure what to expect as I had read mixed reviews. When it arrived it's fit and finish were excellent.For my hands I haven't felt many knifes that fit my hand as comfortably. I also feel that it has a nice balance between...

I have been using this product for years and I love it. The best sharpner I have ever found. I give them as gifts to everyone I know.

Metrokane Rabbit Wine Aerating Pourer, FATHER'S DAY GIFT

In these days of over-hyped products that rarely work as advertised, it's a treat to find something that actually does what it's supposed to do. Metrokane's Rabbit Wine Aerating Pourer is one that does, based on our family's experience. We've found it greatly improves the taste and drinkability of freshly opened...

Chef Harvey Garnishing for the Beginner, Book and Five Tools

I purchased the Chef Harvey 5 Piece Garnishing Set. It consisted of a corrugated garnishing tool, food decorator, spiral slicer, twin curl cutter and paring knife. With shipping and handling it cost $22.00. The food decorator is made out of such thin metal it feels like it will cut your hand if you give it a...

Godinger S/6 CRYSTAL KNIFE RESTS(DUMBEL

This is actually my third set. These knife rests add such a touch of class and understated elegance to your dining table. Not to mention, they also help keep your china from acquiring that oops! accidental chipped rim.These are by no means fru-fru looking, nor like something your Great Grandmother might have...

Power Opener Extra Tall Can Opener

After being frustrated with our old can opener not opening cans easily, we decided to buy a new one. We bought the Proctor Silex can opener, and have been very pleased with how easy it opens up most cans on the first attempt (our old can opener usually took 3-5 tries to get it to start cutting). One thing I...

Victorinox Swiss Classic 4-1/2-Inch Utility Knife with Round Tip, Orange Handle

The orange handle is more safety orange than orange orange. Which is really too bad, because they could be a lot cuter than that are. Good for prepping, but look really funny at the dinner table.We used our original Victorinox knife for years, and this is a replacement. We bought another Victorinox at the same...

John Boos Square Chinese Chopping Block

THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS CHOPPING BLOCK. ok, so let me be clear... this block is awesome. It's a two foot square, four inch thick, 66 pound block of wood. And it's beautiful. Really. The problem is that Amazon hasn't quite figured out how to ship it yet.I learned this because I ordered one and it...

Henckels 4 PC Steak Set - Open Box

Awesome product! We already own this set and bought 8 more for use by our guests. We owned our first set for 12 yrs and experienced great ease in cutting steaks. Periodically we sharpen the knives and we've even cleaned them in the dishwasher with no problems. I believe buying this set at this price coupled...

Wusthof Grand Prix II 6-Inch Cleaver

I purchased this cleaver to complete my set of Wusthof knives. I was impressed by how sharp this thing is.

Fortessa Filet 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 1, 5-Piece

I needed a new set of flatware after my movers lost my previous set. I was set on getting 18/10 stainless steel. I saw a similar set by Fortessa at Sur la Table and really liked it. Then I saw this one at Amazon. It is very elegant and feels great in hands. No residue after dishwasher and it seems very durable....

Laguiole Boxed Gift Stainless Steel 2 piece carving Set

Great product and reasonable delivery time. These knives are a bit lighter in weight than I expected and not quite as sharp. But, with the help of a butchers steel and my wife we managed sharpen them. Using the knives as often as possible has helped me with the light weight and makes them well worth the pri...

NEW Model 1729 CUTCO Petite Carvers with 6¾" High Carbon Stainless blades with patented Double-D®

I have had a set of Cutco Knives for over 20 years. I love them very much. The fact that the handles are not wood and I can wash them in the dishwasher is wonderful. I lost my petite carver somewhere about a year ago. I was so heart broken, it was my favorite of the set. Just the right size for everything. I...

The Sharper Image Nonstick Essential Knife Set

Ok, I work with knifes daily and consider myself to be quite an expert. I got this set as a gift from a friend and loved the "look" of the knives. I took the 5" utility knife with me to work and use it for cutting veggies. I won't exactly say the usage is light, but I wouldn't say it's extremely heavy either....

8oz Mirror Polish Flask

Got this as a gift he said he loved it! Said he was taking it out to the golf course immediately!A good flask with no leaking. I was misled by the picture and ordered the item. But there is no funnel included. Although CKB sent me a funnel as a courtesy, I would not have placed the order if I knew the funnel...
