Joel Bukiewicz was a struggling writer when he discovered that he was very good at making knives. Before long he made cutlery his business, opening this Gowanus storefront where he cuts, grinds and sharpens high quality and custom kitchen knives for home cooks and chefs. The blades are gorgeous and razor sharp steel, and the handles are a rainbow of polished woods. These choppers are works of art, and come with a lifetime guarantee. He'll also sharpen your other knives for you, but his are better.
