    I just had the most amazing time At NWKW and MMTS. Stewart greeted us and made us feel so Welcome. I Told Him for The last Several Years when visiting for My birthday we would stop by and I would throw some axes in their throwing alley. He wished me a happy birthday and set me up for some axe throwing. A quick refresher course and an axe thrower I became. Such fun. Stewart was awesome to talk with. It seemed like we were old friends. He sharpened and oiled my bench made pocket knife and I checked out the inventory. I not only bought a few axes I walked away having a great experience and learned so much more about axes, knives, sharpening and maintaining your collection. Definitely worth visiting for your sharp needs and meeting Stewart. Thanks again Stewart You made my birthday celebration that more memorable. Next visit won't be so long. I will definitely be being my collection to be sharpened.

    Very friendly service and knowledgeable sales staff made the transaction a breeze. I was looking for quality knives but to find the artist made knives made my day. I received the knives via UPS but I'm still waiting on the heavy rock. But as soon as I get it I'll post more pics. If in the Napa area go check them out. You'll be glad you did

    This is an incredible knife shop. Every piece is a work of art. Pearce is a very professional artist. He is very generous and kind. It was a very memorable trip shopping.

    I walked by New West KnifeWorks and admired their paring knives from the window. This was around the time that Ataúlfo mangoes were in season and we were buying them by the case from Costco. Fast forward a few weeks later and we found ourselves in St. Helena again. This time we went in to check out the knives and were sold on their petty knives. Looking at the grip, amazing craftsmanship, and design, I imagined myself cutting into those ripe mangoes at home! Dascia, the salesperson, was really helpful and knowledgeable. There are baskets along the walls to place knives that we touched or checked out so they can be properly sanitized. We also bought a small potato masher which we have been using for avocados. If you're even curious about what an amazing knife feels like, check out New West KnifeWorks the next time you're in the area! The next time I visit, I really want to check out the ax throwing section in the back!

    I happened upon this shrine to top quality cutlery while exploring the shops of downtown St. Helena. After my visit, I discovered this isn't just a knife store. It's a store dedicated to top quality cutlery crafted by people who are passionate about what they do. I was immediately greeted by the friendly and beautiful Dascia, who walked me through the displays. They have everything from pocket to camping to kitchen knives. The knives all come from different dealers who bring their own flare and personality to everything from the handle to the blade. I was particularly interested in kitchen knives since my brother's birthday is around the corner. Dascia was more than happy to show me the differences and let me handle some of the displays off the wall. These knives are expensive and should only be purchased for those who are serious about their cutlery care. I'm still considering it, but I was impressed either way by the store and her service!

    We had an awesome time throwing tomahawks and browsing the gorgeous home wares in this truly unique store. The salespeople were also the friendliest people I've met in a long time. They were very welcoming and knowledgeable, and, best of all, they showed us how to throw Tomahawks at a target (for free!). Even though we were a group of five, they took the time to give each of us multiple turns until we hit the target. The tomahawk throwing is certainly a great hook to get you in to this beautiful store! If you are looking for estate pieces for your kitchen (beautifully crafted knives, magnetic holders, kitchen blocks, and some antique cookware), look no further. Even if you're on a budget, there are some great bath products, razors, and pocket knives in the store that are work checking out and make amazing souvenirs of your trip to the valley. I am sitting at home smelling the lavender soap I bought and reminiscing about one of the most fun and memorable experiences I've had in Napa Valley in a long time!

    If you like high-end kitchenware, you have got to check the store out…read more It was quite the learning experience for me, I had no idea Zwillings owned so many high-end companies Zwilling Henckels Miyabi BSF Demeyere Staub Fontignac Ballarini I came away very impressed.That is a hard hitting lineup. The sales were very exciting. First there was a storewide 20% off sale. And then some of the individual pieces had some pretty impressive reductions. However, remember this is an outlet store. I found some of the most heavily discounted equipment had cosmetic flaws. On the other hand, I went to the Le Creuset store two decades ago and got myself a Dutch oven which had a cosmetic flaw, and that thing has been working great the whole time. But before you go to town, check to see if the warranty is in effect. It's kind of pity that my kitchen is so well stocked with equipment. Between the discounts and the excellent selection, I would been in deep trouble with this store several decades ago. While it's easy to focus on the knives and the cookware there is a lot more to the store. They carry an incredible number of small kitchen accessories that can solve common problems. The expert and friendly sales person showed me a really nice magnetic bar, which can be used to mount knives in otherwise wasted spaces in the kitchen. Unfortunately, for the sales person, I already had one of these. But I can definitely testify that this is an incredibly useful device. Some people complain that magnetic bars ruin your knives. But you have to know the trick to using them. Basically you have to kind of peel the knife off the magnetic bar and this prevents scratching and other minor damage. Also, if your knives are looking scratched, there is a whetstone with an incredibly fine grit that will put a mirror polish on your knives. Scratches are not the disaster you think they are. So stop feeling bad about all your kitchen problems and go to this store which has more solutions than you realize. Remember to bring your knives if you need them sharpened.

    Who doesn't love a good factory outlet?!…read more The factory outlet stores in Vacaville is the shopping center that is one of if not the largest between Sacramento and San Francisco. It absolutely is filled with many of the better upscale shopping choices, as well as, many of the stores that you'll see at some of the smaller outlets. I decided to pop into Zwilling to check out their weekend sale. If you have a Dutch oven obsession, this is absolutely your place to shop. Yes, it's pricey, but it's all about quality right?! The store is relatively small, and they seem to have a smattering of everything that the company carries or at least most things. If it wasn't for the fact that I had other places to go and things to do, I could've spent so much more time here. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. They don't hover, but definitely make themselves available for questions and help. And if they don't have an answer, they will immediately ask more senior employee to help them out. The store is neat and tidy, and if you love cooking on any level, this absolutely is a store that you should explore! From the Dutch ovens, to the knives, if you're looking for quality and perhaps even a deal, you will get both here!

    We drove over to check out their Le Creuset options and found their store to be a true dumping…read moreground. There was no consistency in arrangements with many brands spread out over half the store. Many items matched what was currently in store, so my close guess would be that they carry seconds or minimally damaged/returned items. The few Le Creuset they did have were mainly in dirt brown and cerise, items that could be found online for the same price or lower. The service wasn't helpful or friendly and the store felt more like a Goodwill than the higher quality I was used to with Williams Sonoma. The final straw came when our items were rang up as the final sale price wasn't clear on the screen and didn't match the percentage listed on the shelf. Overall, there was nothing positive about this store so we never plan to return.

I bought them to add to a gift bag that I am giving to each work colleagues. I got home and tasted one bar; It was pretty dark chocolate. I began peeling off the price tags and adding the bars to the gift bags. Then, I looked closer at what had been covered up by the new price tag: "Best By: August 2025." I can't GIFT four-month expired chocolates!!?? I took the chocolate bars back out of the bags... Now I would normally take expired goods back to the seller for a return or exchange. But this location DOES NOT accept returns.

    I have been using my wood fired Mugnaini Oven for about four years and absolutely love it. I use…read moreit for pizza but also have been baking sour dough bread in the oven as well as roasting Chicken and Vegetables. It is such a beautiful way of cooking. And the company Mugnaini did a wonderful job making the oven and installing it for us. One of my neighbors builds restaurants and he had tried a few different ovens for his home before getting a Mugnaini oven. He said it is night and day using Mugnaini over some of the other options. The oven bricks come from Italy and bring the magic to our home.

    I truly regret having to write a poor review for this company and oven. I will say that the oven…read moreitself is pretty good. What is so disappointing is the poor service and complete lack of willingness by Mugnaini to stand behind their product and mistake. When I ordered my oven I explained to the salesperson that it would be several months before I would be able to assemble it. I was told that the refractory mortar included with the oven had an expiration date but would be good for at least a year. Approximately four months after receiving my oven I began assembly. Upon opening the mortar we found it already dried and unusable. The mortar had a expiration date on the container. The product had in fact expired 4 months BEFORE it had even been SHIPPED. Whether by mistake or a disregard for the date I was shipped mortar that was no good MONTHS before it even left Mugnaini. I figured that mistakes happen and contacted Mugnaini and explained the issue. I even included a photo of the long expired product. I was completely shocked when the Mugnaini representative informed me that they would not stand behind their product and obvious mistake. I was told that I would have to buy more mortar at an exorbitant price from Mugnaini. Further I was told that I could not use mortar from any other supplier so I ordered more from them. This company is in the business of shipping ovens and related items. One would think that they would know how to ship them. Not so! They ship the very expensive mortar only to find a month later that their method does not allow mortar. At that point with my project months delayed soley due to Mugnaini's many mistakes they then informed me that I could easily buy replacement mortar from several sources on Amazon for a fraction of their overpriced product. In short, Mugnaini shipped defective and unusable products then tried to gouge me on a replacement for their mistake and lied about its availability elsewhere. I strongly suggest that anyone considering this oven do a lot of investigation before purchasing. There are lots of alternatives available from companies that stand behind their products and provide quality customer service. I would be happy to provide photo documentation of every fact represented in this review.
