                        ... with an Edge

                        They won't get dull because they're not really sharp to begin with--so they’re naturally safe for kids. But my, can they WEDGE their way into all sorts of smooth, crisp, crunchy and crumbly food items. WITHOUT harming your beautiful serving boards!

                        As with everything else on our site, they're made one at a time. And since we get bored easily, they're each slightly different.
                        WE ARE OUT OF THE WORKSHOP TILL MARCH 15TH. PLEASE, NO ORDERS TILL THAT TIME!

                        Cheese Knife

                        Picture
                        Left to Right – Small, Large, Large Laminated with Rivets, Large Laminated
                         
                        Two fun shapes (for no other reason than looks) to cut cheese or salad or sandwiches—safely for the younger set, with panache for us older folks.

                        Small   Smooth and comfortable in the hand  7” x 1.25”

                        Large    A bold scimitar shape for elegant slicing    7.25” x 1.5"

                        Large Laminated   Meb’s Kitchenwares First!   Tom and I were cabinet–makers at that time, so we used our small scrap wood bits to fashion laminated knives like these as our holiday gifts. 

                        We still use Curly Maple for the blade (the strongest of our native hardwoods), set into a darker handle. Contrasting Cherry or Walnut “rivets” add to the metal-knife illusion.   8” x 1.75"

                        $14 - 35

                        Counter Scraper

                        Picture
                        Optional stand sold separately.
                        Helping Hand for the Chef or Baker.  Just what your finger-
                        tips would do if they were pointy!  

                        What a handy tool for scooping up LOTS of chopped vegetables. Or grated cheese. Or peels and seeds. Or for sliding a pie crust or bread dough into place.
                         
                        The stand prevents drawer clutter, and keeps pretty wood grain in view.

                        Scraper   5" x 5" 
                        Stand   4" x 1.5"

                        Paintbrush Knife

                        Picture

                        These are an ”of course!”, functional complement to the Artist Palette cheese board. They also do a fine solo act.

                        Small    6.75” x 1.5”
                        Large   7.25” x 1.5”

                        Paté Knife

                        Picture

                        These little cuties are so lightweight, they stand up by themselves in pate, hummus or a runny brie--no problem. Of course, all three sides cut cheese. With a different wood type for each guest, no one gets unwanted flavors.

                        5.5” x 1.25”

                        Left to Right – Left-handed Spatula, Right-Handed Spatula

                        A wonderful little server or stirrer. My favorite for sautéing onions, then adding eggs for a scramble. A thoughtful “First Kitchen” gift.

                        Picture

                        Short   
                        A stylish, delicate cutter. Looks oh, so sweet, dripping with apricot jam or pesto or bleu cheese. And just right for young hands to create a one-of-a-kind sandwich and slice it into quarters.   7” x 1”

                        Long    Long enough to get to the bottom of mayo or nut butter jars. Pretty enough to lay on a fancy tabletop. And a pleasure in the morning when it scoops out the last of the pungent grounds from the coffee grinder, then stirs down to the depths of the French Press. Rinse off, then slather apple butter on your toast.    8.75” x 1” 

                        Laminated   Curly Maple for the blade (the strongest of our native hardwoods), set into a Cherry or Walnut handle. Contrasting “rivets” add to the metal-knife illusion.  (same sizes as short and long) 

                        $14 - 32
