Product reviews on stuff we use every day… (or not?)

Small, durable and loads of fun.  The charge lasts for about 5 minutes and takes about 15 to recharge.  Extremely maneuverable.  Tough to fly outdoors if there is any wind due to the light weight.

Who said scissors are boring and belong in a drawer?  Kretzer has taken a mundane item and engineered a piece of truly functional art.  Like every Kretzer Shear the V.10 is a remarkable, high performance cutting instrument. 

However striking, these spring loaded shear style scissors can really cut.  The blades are a brushed hardened steel and the spring offers the right amount of tension to make this large (10″) scissor quite easy to handle. 

The V.10 is shipped with a simple Lucite stand as to not interfere with its lines.  

It is a pleasure to begin our writing with one of our client company’s new releases (although not really new at all). 

Basch & Company have resurrected a tried and true favorite in fine jewelry.  They have made some improvements to an antiquated process enabling them to produce the finest brocades possible, all with a contemporary new style.

The detail is different than in years past.  It is better.  The styles range from the basic to the very ornate.

Available in heavy Sterling Silver and 14kt Gold in over 200 unique designs.  

Keep your eye out for this one in 2008.
