Al Stephens

After almost 20 years of high-production industry work in St. Louis, MO, Al Stephens discovered the art of blacksmithing while on a visit to an historic Illinois site.

Volunteering in his park's 19th century blacksmith shop trained him in time-honored techniques that earned him full-time blacksmithing employment. His success in creating contemporary hand-forged items has extended from retail to gallery settings.

This diverse background of trade work, historic technique and modern shop knowledge serves as the foundation for his one-of-a-kind, hand-forged steel items.

In 2000, Stephens launched his own shop in Pennsylvania. Currently, his home and shop are based in Alabama.

So So product

I love the look and feel but the way the cutter is designed, you cannot cut completely through the cheese when pushing down. The curved edges get in the way.

Disappointed

I was given this as a Christmas gift after raving about having seen it on the site. At first I was excited to have been gifted such a nice item (not to mention not inexpensive). But after using it just once I was extremely disappointed. As stated in some of the other reviews, because the wire is not flush with the bottom of the apparatus, it does not slice all the way through on a normal cutting board. I wish I had read the reviews before raving about it because now my friend has spent good money on the gift which I will not be using and I am too embarrassed to tell her that the design really is quite flawed and the item just does not work. Maybe I can get someone to cut me a piece of wood that will fit perfectly between the bottom prongs so it will cut flush down to the surface. I suggest you ask the producers to redesign.

Good quality but poor design

The cutting wire does not rest flush with the bottom of the device; thus, in order to cut all the way through cheese, you would need to use a cutting board that is narrower than the cutting wire is long.

Unique and Efficient cheese slicer

Had been looking for months for a high quality cheese slicer, not attached to a board, for a friend who is a gadget maven. Yes, of course he is a guy. This product is exceptional looking - not starkly modern or traditonal - just cool. Seems to also be quite functional. A great gift for the cook who has everything or a novice. The only quibble is it might be a bit larger to accomodate larger cheeses, a larger size option would be welcome.

simplicity at its best

this product was a gift for a friend who had a similar one growing up. she saw this one last year but did not purchase it so when she saw it again this year and commented on how she would really love to have it, i jumped at the opportunity to get a gift that she would both use and cherish!

Beautiful handwork

I fell in love with the look of the product. As far as a cheese sliver I haven't had too much success.
