Look Sharp!

Nifty knives that will make you look sharp.

We aren't the only ones with a penchant for bad puns, the Courier-Journal is right there with us. They came by the other week and took some pictures for Phenom, a shopping feature which shows up in the Scene section on Saturdays.

While most of the knives featured were really colorful (like Messermeister's Picnic Knife, which they picked out in purple), they also got into some that are just really well designed. Example from our store that they selected for the article? An ulu knife, that we get from Knives of Alaska. Part of what makes it cool is that it comes with it's own dish-shaped, wooden chopping block*, which you can always flip over to get a flat block.

Check out the full thing here.


*Please note that the ulus we have online do not come with the block. If you're interested in those, drop us a line and we can hook you up.
And actually, the picnic knife isn't online either, so I should tell you that it is a colorful little knife that we sell for $5.20. What makes it special is that it has a slide-n-snap-on cover over the blade, so you can just toss it in a drawer (or a picnic basket, hence the name) without having to worry about slicing your fingers open when you try to get it out. I think the colors that we have in stock right now are translucent purple, red, and green. Maybe blue? I'll try to let you know for certain.
