cut brooklyn

having used my new knife for the last two months, i have to say having a quality knife is worth the $100 for sure. first of it's a joy to use - full stop. cutting is easy and fast. but more importantly if it's probably maintained it will last forever.

i hadn't thought of a knife as an investment, something that could actually be given to someone down the road, but i think i've been convinced that super quality knifes can be.

that doesn't mean that such an investment need only be a purely utilitarian tool. these days true craftsmanship seems hard to come by. everything is mass produced and nothing seems to be made in small batches with care. (except kettle chips it seems - if you believe the marketing).

so i've stumbled across joel bukiewicz, the owner/operator, of cut brooklyn. he makes craftsman knife of superb quality. the knives start around $200+ and have a very distinct look to them. from the video you can tell they are razor sharp.

so if anyone has a few bills they are looking to get rid of - feel free to buy me a sweet knife.
