Currently there are just two branches, one in Clapham in London and the other in Brighton, Sussex. The project, in the works for a while now, aims to get more people interested in cooking by making it enjoyable and fun – they are encouraged to ask questions during the learning process. In-store classes (titled ‘Easy to Make’ if it is a quick 20-minute class or ‘Easy to Learn’ if it is a longerRead more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/06/new-points-anti-stab-kitchen-knife.html Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:40:11 +0000 Mixing clever design and considerate attention to household safety, New Point Knives‘ new ‘safer kitchen’ line has a rounded tip that juts out beyond its point.
