What a clever way to design a cleaver.
These lightweight wooden knives are the work of FCRL [ http://thefederal.co/Maple-Set ] and feature a sharp polished blade for precision cutting.
It appears as if the traditional cutting board has evolved into this handled blade.

This is the answer to having to either destroy compromising notes wherever you travel, or creating confetti everywhere you go.
This hand cranked shredder is a battery-free answer to shredding, but only for small amounts at a time.
Choose to grind away stacks and stacks of paper, and this is becomes a workout machine.

This set of napkin themed coasters are a fun way to entertain. Each coaster appears to be a hand-written note to self, but look closely and you can see they are printed coasters with comical sayings.

For those of you young readers, this tape dispenser is a replication of an item from the 1900’s called a ‘tape player’.
As funny as it may be to think that about it, some readers may have only heard music as an MP3, and have never heard the crackle of a vinyl record or the wrinkled tape of a cassette.
