Dear Working Hard,
I have mentioned these knives to you before, I think, but I wanted to remind you about them. It's an absolute wonder that such nice tools are available to us. You can get one of these handmade knives for about $250. While you are shopping, consider one of these beautiful leather objects, too.
With these nice tools you get a lot of the hand of the craftsperson, some of their spirit. These things are made with oodles of attention and great fondness for the materials and methods. There is a lot of feeling packed into an item you will hold nearly everyday. You can't go wrong with a handmade tool.
The fellows who make these knives and these leather goods are just as nice a people as you have ever met, to boot.
