Tools are the extension of the artisan’s hand, the means by which skill is transformed into something tangible.
A great deal of attention has been given to offer you high quality tools that are also elegant.
All tools are hand finished and come in quality hand-turned wooden handles that are color-treated (instead of varnished) to endure heat and extensive use.
