A love of carving led to a need for a better knife which led to a family business that has lasted four generations. At the Warther Carving Museum and Knife Factory in Dover, Ohio they still make knives by hand, tempering the steel hard and grinding it very thin. Ernest “Mooney” Warther, a talented carver who wanted a better tool, founded the knife company in 1902 and 106 years later the operation remains small and family run. (via Serious Eats)
