That's a piece of disgusting graphics.
Where can I get one of those "disgusting" knife holders? Sur la Table? Pretty awesome.
sharpen your own knives—it's more rewarding and pretty damn easy.
Hey I like that knife-holder!. Anyway to get one that has Bushs face on it?. It would really make it a pleasure to put knives into it that way.
I can't find the silver model, but click here for the red one.
