Welcome and Happy Holidays!
The HANDSOME TOOL COMPANY based in Biddeford, Maine is a source for elegantly designed and truly handmade wooden tools.
Having a beautiful tool is a small luxury and will add a little extra joy to your work!
One of the products that helped conceive Handsome Tool Co. Add a touch of elegance to your breakfast ritual, PB&J or cheese platter at your next party. Our svelte knives are inspired by traditional wooden Swedish butter knives. A helpful detail includes a flat collar so the blade is kept off the counter or serving board while at rest.
Each handle is hand turned and the blade is shaped by hand and eye and therefore each knife is subtly unique. Available in Cherry, Walnut, Curly Maple and Curly Maple with a classic red handle.
All kitchen tool surfaces are finished with a food-safe mineral oil and beeswax mixture. They can be easily maintained and will gain a sweet patina with use. Never submerge or put in dishwasher. To clean, wipe down with a cloth and warm soapy water and dry the surface with a cloth. Apply oil to the blade as desired. Handles are finished with durable polyurethane.
Muddle in style! Muddling ingredients is not only fun, it is essential to a delicious cocktail. The pressure extracts fruit juices and fragrant oils for drinks like an Old Fashioned or Mojito. Our attractive and comfortable 11” tall muddlers are hand turned in Curly maple, Cherry and Black Walnut and are accented with an abalone shell inlay in the top. It is sure to become one of your favorite bar tools and makes a perfect gift for the passionate mixologist in your life. It is also handy in the kitchen for various mashing tasks.

White Oak is bold and strong. The pattern used for our oak boards highlights the varying color palette of rich golds and browns inherent to the wood.
A quality cutting board is a fixture and the workbench of the kitchen employed at almost every meal. Our handsome and sturdy end grain boards are built to live on the counter for daily use.
Wood is naturally antimicrobial, will keep your knives sharper for longer and is resistant to scarring unlike edge grain boards. Each board is 2 inches thick for heft and has 4 rubber feet to prevent slipping under cutting pressure. The feet supply added benefits of creating an air space to eliminate trapped moisture between the board and your counter, and make a convenient finger space for lifting. On top of all these practical benefits, they provide a beautiful backdrop to prepare and serve food.

Our classy, hand turned, truly solid black walnut French pins will be a prized -and envied- possession among your baking arsenal. Professional bakers find the more open grain of walnut tends to hold more flour and means less sticking and stopping to re-apply. A one piece tapered pin gives the user control and sensitivity to the texture and thickness of the dough. They are a full 22” long and 1.75” in diameter and have an 8” flat center before the taper starts. The ends are softly rounded for comfort on your hands and feature an elegant abalone shell dot inlay on each end.
