Pointy Things

I love the crafting part of my job. I like arts and crafts hours and I’m darn good at comping. This was the first thing that came to mind for examples of well-designed products:

The Ergo Kiwi craft knife:

This think looks amazing, and is suuuuperr expensive. It’s worth every penny, i’m sure though. It has stress points, and magnets and picks up the blade for you! If it had a pivot so I can cut like calligraphy, it would be just too much.

For some reason, they decided to make it accept only proprietary blades. Maybe because they want to make money on refills. Maybe they have a lifelong vendetta against X-acto.

I still want one.
