Knife Aid Sharpens Your Knives For You (and You Don’t Have to Leave Home)

In this day and age, it should be no surprise that you can find a way to do or acquire just about anything without leaving the comforts of your home. Going to places like groceries stores or pharmacies is so 2010 thanks to the myriad subscription boxes, delivery services and, oh yeah, a little thing called Amazon. Now, a new company has found a way to eliminate another reason to leave the house, needing to get your knives sharpened. (A pretty sharp idea, if you ask us.)

Knife Aid is a new service that makes knife sharpening accessible wherever you are. If you don’t have a high-end knife store in your town (we can’t all be as lucky as Portland to have Portland Knife House located in town), or you just don’t want to do it yourself (because who has time in this day and age?), Knife Aid is there for you.

(Though, if you want to learn how to sharpen your own knives, we recommend checking out our video here.)

Knife Aid How the service works

The way Knife Aid works is simple:

  • First, you place your order online. Once that’s done, you’ll receive a secure shipping envelope, which contains protective sleeves for the knives and guarantees safe shipping.
  • Next, you drop your knives in the package and put in in the mailbox for pick up the next day.
  • Knife Aid then sharpens your knives in one day and sends them back, ready for whatever you are about to cut up.

It’s as simple as that. No fuss, no muss, and no chance that you’ll slice your hand open by sharpening the blade the wrong way (or ruining the blade by using that sub-par knife sharpener you picked up at Target that one time in college).

The price, too is good at just $49 for four knives. That includes postage as well as the insurance on your knives while they are not in your house.

Sounds exciting, but don’t have any knives to get sharpened? You can check out this video for how to pick out a knife as well as this list for the knives you should have in your house.

We Drank an Entire Can of Four Loko Hard Seltzer So You Don’t Have To
four loko hard seltzer black cherry crushed can

There’s no doubt that hard seltzer is literally everywhere these days. You can look at the statistics showing the category’s meteoric rise over the last few years or you can just go to pretty much any bar anywhere. Most bars, if they want to make money, will have any one of the following: hard seltzer on tap (not common, but it’s out there), hard seltzer made by a local craft brewery (because of course craft breweries are getting in on it), or, the most likely option: A cooler full of the Claw (or one of the other major brands). Usually, though, it’s the Claw. This is a fact just as much as the Kansas City Chiefs – who are from Missouri – just won the Super Bowl.

That said, just because a company can make a hard seltzer does not mean it should. That’s where a brand like Four Loko comes in. Yes, that Four Loko. The one that got you incomprehensibly drunk in college. If you’re of a certain age, it also filled you with a caffeinated rage that may have caused you to punch holes in walls, break dorm furniture, or go on a rampage calling yourself Godzilla through your campus’s central quad.

Forget wine — Beer and cheese is an unbeatable combination
Put the corkscrew away and crack open a cold one
Beer and cheese

When one hears the term cheese pairings, wine is the beverage that most often comes to mind, we'd wager. Because, of course, it is. The pairing of wine and cheese is as classic a coupling as peanut butter and jelly, bacon and eggs, or chocolate and strawberries. They're meant to be together. But that certainly doesn't mean that wine is the only adult beverage that can dance an alluring tango alongside everyone's favorite dairy product. Beer, as humble as its reputation can be, is also a beautiful balance to cheese's immense offering of flavors. While some may think of beer as not being as multi-dimensional and varied in its palate-pleasing capabilities as wine, this is not the case - especially now that we live in a world with so many exquisite craft beers, stouts, and lagers.
Of course, another classic accompaniment to cheese is bread or crackers. Why might that be, one might ask. Is it because we're simply in need of a starchy vessel to usher the cheese into our mouths? The answer is actually a bit deeper than that. Starches like bread and crackers are made from the same yeasty ingredients as beer, so their pairing makes perfect culinary sense.
This isn't to say, though, that one can simply pick up a hunk of cheddar and crack open a Budweiser and expect culinary artistry. The science is a bit more nuanced than that, so we're here to help you find the best pairings for your favorite beers and cheeses.

If you’re new to tequila, you might not know all the terms. Even if you’re just a beginner, you probably know all about blanco, reposado, añejo, and maybe even joven. But chances are, you’re not familiar with Cristalino tequila. This reasonably contemporary style is simply añejo tequila that’s been charcoal filtered to remove its natural caramel color and various impurities.

The style is more than just a little popular. It’s actually the fastest growing style of tequila according to Nielsen data. The newest brand to get in on the Cristalino trend is Mijenta.
