PowerFlare

PMX1105upgrade018_large

 

Chemical flares have long been a necessary evil. They save lives by drawing attention to traffic accidents and emergencies, but they also have a nasty habit of starting fires and polluting the environment. The PowerFlare PF-200 Safety Light ($45) improves on its flammable counterparts in almost every way. It uses a 360-degree LED array with seven flash patterns (blinking, rotating, SOS, etc.), and its replaceable lithium battery has a shelf life of 10 years and a blink time of up to 100 hours. Plus, its utility extends beyond highway breakdowns; it is also watertight to 300 ft., making it a perfect scuba accessory.

FEATURES
• TOUGHNESS - Built to military spec; it can be run over by a firetruck.
• LIFE SPAN - PowerFlare's LEDs are designed to last 100,000 hours.
• VISIBILITY - Nighttime: 3000 ft. (10 miles from air). Daytime: 1000 ft.

SHUN Knives

<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-2611989298700188336&hl=en" flashvars=""> </embed>

Shun Kaji Chef's Knife

In ancient Japan, kaji (or blacksmithery) included the practice of crafting weapons fit for a samurai, so it's an apt moniker for the latest ultrafierce utensil from Shun. High-carbon steel and nickel alloy are folded together, then wrapped around a core molded from SG-2 powdered steel — that explains the ripply watermark that runs up and down the blade. The metal mashup isn't just for show: It strengthens the knife, ensuring an effortless glide through even the most onerous ingredients. The hardwood handle looks elegant and offers up a comfortable grip, no matter what your task.

Shun Kaji 8-Piece Knife Block Set

http://www.williams-sonoma.com/wsimgs/rk/images/bld-20071115-008/common/spacer.gifThis set makes an excellent introduction to the new Kaji cutlery series developed exclusively for Williams-Sonoma by Shun. The process of forging the blades combines ancient Damascus and contemporary clad construction techniques. Thin sheets of a nickel alloy and high-carbon stainless steel are folded together to create Damascus steel, which is then clad to a powdered-steel core. This labor-intensive process combines the benefits of three metals to form a single super sharp cutting edge. Double rivets secure the blade to the comfortable PakkaWood handle. The set includes a 3 1/2" paring knife, a 6" tomato knife, a 6 3/4" hollow-ground santoku, an 8" chef's knife, a 9" bread knife, a 9" hollow-ground carving knife, a 9" honing steel and a cherry wood storage block with slots for 12 items. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
