We like to take care of our customers here at Epstein’s, but we especially like it when our customers make completely out of the ordinary requests. Take for instance an order that came in yesterday. A customer requested that we “draw a scared belt about to be whole punched”. So per his request here it is. Artwork by Josh Gately.
A No. 10 Stainless steel Opinel knife with a corkscrew, but not just any corkscrew. This is the same corkscrew that is used by world renowned corkscrew maker Chateau Laguiole. I’ve actually never heard of him, but it sounds awfully impressive and it looks really well made. Perfect for picnics! Blade is 12C27 MOD Sandvik Stainless Steel. Overall length 9 1/16. Blade length 3 15/16.
My brother loves mushroom hunting so I couldn’t pass up this fancy Opinel mushroom knife. Created by Opinel to make it easier to cut and prepare mushrooms, this tool has a thin, curved blade with a serrated back, for easy removal of the cuticle. Its natural varnished beech handle incorporates a genuine boar hair brush for easy removal of soil. Pierced beechwood handle. 12C27 MOD Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade. 3 1/2″ blade.
I’m a sucker for gardening tools as well, so I got a selection of garden knives. This one looks the coolest. If you aren’t good at gardening you could always wave it around and pretend you’re Captain Hook. Curved blade bevelled on both sides, this is ideal for grape-picking, shrub pruning or cutting ties. Beechwood handle. 12C27 MOD Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade. 8″ overall length. 3 1/2″ blade. Folding knife with locking collar.
I don’t know how Opinel does it, but this folding saw is as light as a feather, but feels solid when you hold it. Real interesting locking mechanism holds the blade in place. Ideal for sawing branches with a diameter of up to 5 ¾ inches. Beechwood handle. 12C27 MOD Sandvik Stainless Steel blade. Very light and easy to handle. Replaceable blades sold separately.

Referred to as a Scaffolding Ratchet, these are uniquely designed for erecting and dismantling scaffolding. Kind of weird, but if you work with scaffolding all day, it really comes in handy. Made by Wright in the good old USA.
What’s better than an old fashioned wooden handled USA made screwdriver set?
How bout an old fashioned wooden handled USA screwdriver set made specifically for GUNS!
Also, in our never ending quest to buy things that cut other things, we have a new line of machetes from Marbles. They’re made in El Salvador and they are very very orange.
So many machetes, so little time. That’s how I felt after unpacking all of our new Woodsman’s Pals. Who doesn’t need a pal? They come in a few different styles: military (the one above), classic and long reach. The also come in a set with a sheath and a sharpening stone. All Woodsman’s Pals are 100% made in Pennsylvania. They also are 100% awesome.

The also make exquisitely designed knives like “The Witch’s Tooth” which has Reindeer bone in the handle. According to Lappish mythology the drum at the upper end of the handle drives away bad spirits from the knife and protects the user. If the drum doesn’t work for protection, you might also try the pointy end of the knife. Curly birch and reindeer horn bone handle. 3 3/8″ carbon steel blade. 8 1/4″ overall length.
