Gourmet Retailer, woo!

Nobody tells me about anything!

Look at what I just ran across: There's an article about us in Gourmet Retailer, check it out!

Check us out!

Just a reminder that our 150th anniversary celebration is coming up next month, September 12-17th. Keep your eyes on our Facebook page for updates about when things are going to be happening!

But really, I'm just posting that as an excuse to share this link from io9.
"A brief history of the ancient science of sword making," is a very fun read.

Heimerdinger Cutlery featured in Louisville Magazine

We're in this month's Louisville Magazine! You will see Heimerdinger Cutlery (and a picture of Carl Heimerdinger) on page 40 of the September issue.


The big cover story is "25 Shops worth the Stop" and Heimerdinger Cutlery is 17 on that list. To give you some idea of the company we're keeping, the list also includes wonderful places like Edenside Gallery, Lotsa Pasta, Clay & Cotton, and A Reader's Corner bookstore. (Those would be my favorites off that list, especially Lotsa Pasta. Yum.)

These are all shops that "provide merchandise that goes beyond the expected, making a stop... an entertainment in itself." In our case, the article mentions our straight razors and kitchen gadgets (though sadly not the asparagus peeler). Oh, and the giant twenty-six inch long, two handled knife that's for cutting cheese wheels.

The Store has all sorts of wonderful displays. When I was little, my favorites were the trays that hold the Swiss Army knives, each in their own little cubby. This was only topped by big Swiss Army knife in the window that has a motor and moving blades. When I started working there in high school, my favorite display was the kitchen gadget case-- learning what all the strangely shaped things did. Now, I just love going in to see what's new.
