We work with independent artisans and small design shops around the world who hand-craft the items you see here. Many makers work with hand tools and take traditional, analog approaches to their art, often making the tooling and equipment themselves that they then use to make the wares that we bring you. Simple, natural materials are used as well as select specialty ingredients, precious metals, and even certain rare and exotic materials. We tell the story of each tool and each maker throughout our website, and if you have additional questions, please Contact Us anytime.

Absolutely. We partner with the finest artists and makers in the world whose work combines form and function in striking ways. No matter how decorative or unique a tool may appear, each is designed and crafted to use daily.

We work closely with our artists to keep their tools available to you. Due to their slow, analog, handmade nature available quantities are often limited and they do sometimes sell out. On each product's page is an option to sign up to receive an alert when the tool is back which we recommend doing. We wont' use your email address for any other purpose. And, new products and variations on old products are always being introduced, so keep an eye here, sign up for our newsletter, and follow our Instagram page for new product announcements.

Many of the tools you see are truly one-of-a-kind objects never to be created again. Even those designs which are produced by our artists in small batches are finished by hand one by one, making each unique, and subtle variations can be expected from one to the next.

Please visit our Care & Maintenance page for assistance in keeping your tools in peak working order. If you have questions at any time please Contact Us anytime.

We get it, tools that are used and loved daily sometimes need a little extra TLC. There are many great resources across the internet that address various materials and objects, from caring for carbon cookware to polishing silver and stropping and sharpening chef knife edges. Visit our Care & Maintenance page for tips and tricks on caring for various materials you will find in our tools. And feel free to Contact Us anytime if you require additional support.

Our makers come from all walks of life, but what they all have in common is an unwavering dedication to their craft. Some are world-renowned makers in their field, holding advanced degrees, winners of international awards, and teachers of their of their artistic medium.
