Knives & utensils

We currently offer two brands of knives that are made in America.

Lamson & Goodnow

Since opening our store in 2003 we have carried a large selection of forged knives made by Lamson & Goodnow Mfg Co.

Established in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, in 1837, Lamson & Goodnow is the oldest cutlery manufacturer in the United States.

For nearly two centuries, the name Lamson has been synonymous with the finest hand-crafted cutlery available. A fusion of artistry and functionality, our knives and kitchen tools are masterfully created to offer an unrivaled, professional-quality product to expert chefs and home culinary enthusiasts alike.

Fire or Walnut series – Forged to perfection and paired with beautiful and unique, triple-riveted acrylic handles these knives make a bold statement in your kitchen with over 20 pieces to choose from.

Walnut kitchen tools – In addition to our selection of forged knives by Lamson, we also carry a full line of traditional kitchen tools including spreaders, spatulas, turners, mashers, etc. The “Granny Fork” is of a design dating to the 1800’s.

STEELPORT

Most recently, we began carrying the hand-forged knives made by STEELPORT Knife Co.

STEELPORT Knife Co. believes in craftsmanship without compromise. Each knife produced has a beautiful individuality only found in handcrafted products that use natural materials. No two wooden handles or blades can have identical grain patterns, and each knife will patina a little differently over time, telling a story of all the meals it has helped prepare.

We offer three brands of knives that are made in Germany. Since opening our store in 2003, we have carried the largest selection of kitchen knives anywhere in the Rogue Valley. Our most popular line is by Wusthof. We also carry forged lines by Henckels and stamped and forged Messermeister knives that are German-made.

By Wusthof

Family owned for seven generations, Wusthof was founded in Solingen germany over 200 years ago. To this day, each knife is still expertly crafted in this legendary city.

We carry knives from the following collections:

• Classic
• Classic Ikon
• Epicure
• Grand Prix II
• Pro
• Gourmet

By Henckels

Way back in 1731 Peter Henckels had the idea to register the ZWILLING trademark with the Cutler’s Guild of Solingen, Germany. A brilliant idea because that makes ZWILLING one of the oldest brands in the world today.

You’ll find these lines in our store:

• Pro
• Pro-S
• TWIN Four Star II

By Messermeister

Messermeister is a woman-owned, 4th generation German cutlery and kitchen accessory brand located in the heart of the Ojai Valley in California.

We carry the Park Plaza line. 

The Park Plaza knife collection represents the stamped version of Messermeister’s triple-rivet, full exposed tang German knife series. They are one piece, die-cut from a single billet of fine German 1.4116 stainless steel alloy and heat treated and cooled to achieve a Rockwell of 57-58. The three-step, 15° edge is hand stropped on a cloth wheel, creating the sharpest possible cutting surface on an edged tool. Park Plaza is assembled with over-sized industrial quality handles that are hand buffed to a seamless fit and finish

We offer two brands of knives that are made in Japan–Shun and Global.  Since opening our store in 2003, we have carried the largest selection of kitchen knives anywhere in the Rogue Valley. We have the largest selection of Shun knives in the entire area of Southern Oregon. Call the store for up-to-date information about what is in stock.

By Shun

For over 100 years, Kai Corporation–makers of Shun knives–has operated from Seki City, which has been known as the heart of the cutlery industry since the 12th century. Inspired by the traditions of ancient Japan, today’s highly skilled Shun artisans produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty. Shun is dedicated to maintaining this ancient tradition by continuing to handcraft each knife in our Seki City facilities. Each piece of this fine kitchen cutlery takes at least 100 individual steps to complete.

We carry knives from the following collections:

• Classic
• Classic Blonde
• Premier
• Sora
• Wasabi
• Kanso

By Global

GLOBAL knives were first designed in 1985 by visionary industrial designer, Komin Yamada. Yamada was commissioned to develop a range of kitchen knives that was new and revolutionary, using the best materials available and the latest manufacturing techniques that would appeal to both the professional chef and at-home gourmet cooks.

We carry a small selection of the Global Classic collection.

Cangshan

The name Cangshan is shared by a majestic mountain in southwest China and a modest city where our company’s founder, Henry Liu, was born, grew up and wed his high school sweetheart, Mary.

With hand-drawn characters from Henry’s father as its logo, Cangshan Cutlery Company was born in 2012. In the time since, they have won thirty-two international design awards. They have partnered with Thomas Keller, the recipient of more Michelin Star awards than any other American chef ever. They expanded operations in 2022 with a new international headquarters located in Georgetown, Texas. Cangshan cutlery is sold by the finest retailers across the United States and graces kitchen counters from coast to coast. All of us at Cangshan are grateful for this American dream realized and excited for what comes next.

We carry a limited selection of Cangshan knives.
