In many places throughout the U.S., February is snow season. But that shouldn’t stop you from celebrating today’s holiday: Play Outside Day. Bundle yourself up and build a snowman, a snow fort, or make snow angels (no one is ever too old do any of these!).
Test your company logo knives outside- how well do they work when your hands are shivering?
When you’ve had enough, head inside next to the fire and enjoy some hot chocolate.
Now test your company logo knives again with thawed-out hands- do you prefer using them inside or outside?

January has passed, and most people’s New Year’s resolutions have come to a halt. Now that we’re in February, how can we get back on the healthy bandwagon? This month is American Heart Month, a month that aims to bring awareness to our heart health and the prevention of heart disease. How can we do this?
Track your heart health stats (talk to your doctor about your blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol goals)
Eat healthier (increase intake of fruits, veggies, whole grains, while reducing sodium, saturated fat & sugar intake)
Be physically active (the NIH recommends 30 minutes, 5 days a week)
The easiest way to hold yourself accountable for any of the above is to form a support group. Who else in your office would love to improve their heart health? Get the group motivated by handing out matching red logo knives to your team at work. Go on daily walks together after lunch; share yummy healthy recipes at your company potluck; have a competition to see who can reach their heart health goals first.

Today is Groundhog Day, and I bet Punxsutawney Phil will be glad to have a smaller crowd around him this year. All these tall humans probably give him quite a scare when he comes out of his burrow!
Do you think he’ll see his shadow or not?
And even more.. do you think Punxsutawney Phil should socially distance himself from these engraved Kershaw knives?
As you enjoy your warm, flaky, buttery croissant with your coffee this morning, are you aware of how long this delicious pastry has been around? The kipferl, or crescent-shaped bread, originated in 13th century Austria, and then spread to France. By the mid-1800s, the French developed their own version of this tasty bread, and dubbed it the croissant.
Making croissants from scratch requires dedication, patience, and high-quality ingredients. The process of making the dough is called “lamination,” which consists of making a yeast-leavened dough and layering it with butter. The dough is then rolled and folded many times in order to create alternating layers of dough and butter. Once the croissant dough is rolled into its crescent shape and placed in the oven, all the layers of butter release steam as they melt into the dough, creating the lovely airy center and crunchy exterior that we all know and love.
Today on National Croissant Day, treat your employees and customers to a platter of croissants from your local bakery. Don’t forget to grab your American-made Cutlery bread knife to cut them up for sharing!

Martin Luther King Jr Day is only celebrated once a year, but it embodies an ideology that we should embrace year-round. Love, equality, and generosity are traits we should strive to exhibit daily.

If you were to survey your customers and coworkers on what their favorite ice cream flavor is, odds are vanilla and chocolate would be up there at 1st and 2nd place.
What flavor do you think would take 3rd place? Maybe strawberry? Let’s celebrate strawberry ice cream today- after all, today is its national holiday!
I love using this American-Made Cutlery ice cream scoop to serve myself a bowl of homemade strawberry ice cream. It’s even better when there are surprise chunks of juicy berries in it!
It’s no surprise that when I told my kids that this week is National Pizza Week, they jumped up and down with joy! One of my family’s go-to meals is definitely pizza: everyone likes it, it’s easy to customize, and it’s fast to make (or order!).
