Kitchen: Edlund Professional Kitchen Tools
From Julie
I've never liked magnetized wall-mounted knife racks (too precarious) or knife blocks (countertop space hoggers). I do like this Wall-Mount Stainless-Steel Knife Rack manufactured by the Edlund Company in Burlington, Vermont (motto: "Our reputation is stainless"), which holds nine knives and adds a professional-restaurant vibe to your kitchen. $74.39 at Tundra Restaurant Supply.
Edlund also makes appealing, professional-quality kitchen tools, such as the can opener and scale shown below.
Above: Edlund's No. 1 Manual Can Opener is $98.49 at Tundra Restaurant Supply and would make a handsome addition to any kitchen.
Above: Edlund's Stainless-Steel Portion Scales start at $109.62 at Tundra Restaurant Supply. Overseas, Manufactum carries the Edlund Kitchen Weighing Machine for €273.90.

Where can I buy the Edlund stainless steel wall mounted knife holder in the UK?
Sez you: "Edlund’s No. 1 Manual Can Opener is $98.49 [...] and would make a handsome addition to any kitchen."
You're joking. Clearly. I worked in food service for a while with much the same can opener and the only justification I could imagine for having one of these in my house were if I had a part time business opening cans for all of my friends and neighbors and could write off the acreage it took up as a business expense.
Yes, it'll get the job done, no doubt, and it'll open any can you care to throw at it, but...
Those things are ENORMOUS. The height-adjusting headstock sticks out the bottom and is a great place to snag yourself on AND blocks access to your cupboard doors unless you build it into your countertop somewhere; the handle doesn't go anywhere helpfully out-of-the-way...
Maybe if space (and rather large price) wasn't an issue and I had a whole island devoted to such silly overkill, but for darn near anybody else, forget it.
