Oh, the joys of a store that carried it all.
Columbus Cutlery, 358 Columbus Ave,
San Francisco, CA 415.362.1342
Open 9:30 am to 5:00 pm, closed Wednesdays and Sundays
A teensy shop, standing area might have been 5 feet by 9 feet. You might
be able to see everything in the entire shop if you stay an hour. Since almost
everyting we do incorporates a cutting implement, we truly appreciate a fine
tool. This is one of the finest selections we have seen in a while. Jenny,
the owner, is tremendously pleasant and enjoyable.
Cookin', 339 Divisadero Street , San Francisco,
CA 415.861.1854
Oranized chaos is perfect. Open a room, pile it to the brim with every item
you would ever need for cooking, mostly antique or at least aged, add a dog,
a delightfully sarcastic shop owner and it's pig heaven.
