I feel that I’m the keeper of the flame… I know that might sound a little grandiose, but, one of the things that always drew me to this business is its sense of history - Corrado Cutlery began in 1905…

A good cutlery store sells tools that are an integral part of our everyday life. So much so that we take them for granted… Just think about slicing your bagel, or trimming your nails—or shaving, or dragging a comb across your head… maybe this morning you cut an article out of the paper—or maybe, like me, you find yourself needing a magnifying glass to read the fine print…

Good stuff—honestly presented…

Here, in this new version of the store… it may feel different, but let me tell you, the foundation is just as solid as if it were built in 1905—core products and core values…

So my mission, and my business is to bring you these core items and at the same time… honor the history of those roots sunk deep in a time when you just did things the right way…

I want my customers to be here with me for a long time. One of the things that attracted me to this company in the first place was the fact that the Corrado’s never had their sales staff work on a commission. They never wanted them to spend more time with a customer looking at a $500 knife set, than with the person who’s shopping for a Swiss army toothpick. That’s how it was…and that’s how it still is...

The great thing about offering well made products is that selling them becomes a simple matter of telling you the truth. And I will. I promise.
