Swing-A-Way Wall Can Opener with Magnetic Lid-Lifter
All of us past a certain age had one of these when we were kids. They attach to the kitchen wall, probably above the counter, and swing away towards the wall when not in use. They are still available and lots of folks like them. We have them in stock!

Dexter Duoglide Kitchen Knives made in the USA

Posted October 16, 2009 by Howard

Dexter Duoglide Kitchen Knives made in the USA
Dexter Russell is the oldest manufacturer of kitchen knives in the US. They have been in existence in some form since the early 1800’s. Most of their products are made in the USA although they do offer some economy imports. This series that we are featuring, the Duoglide, is all American made. These have received the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease-of-Use Commendation. The shape is unique and they work really well in the kitchen. Although they are American made, they are still very reasonably priced.

The Cheese Knife Series
Plastic handles combine with the textured surface on the plastic blades to make this series able to cut through soft cheese or similar material while not having the material stick to the blade. They work well!

Kyocera Advanced Ceramics Ceramic Adjustable Grinder

Kyocera Advanced Ceramics Ceramic Adjustable Grinder
Kyocera has a lot of great ideas. Using a ceramic mechanism for a pepper mill is absolutely one of them./ Having metal workings has never particularly appealed to me, although I considered it a necessity. The ceramic is harder than steel and works cleaner and will absolutely leave less residue on anything you grind. These are also very reasonably priced.
Here is the whole pitch from Kyocera: Full Story

Boker Magnetic Wood Kitchen Knife Block
A better Idea! We like this new knife storage system from Boker of Germany. The idea is a combination of a knife block and a wall magnet. Use strips of wood and put the strong magnets in them and you have an effective and attractive system. We have them in three colors. They are made in Germany. We have them at: www.knifecenter.com

Kyocera brought out he first ceramic kitchen products years ago.
