"Spice Grinder"
I wonder what my grinders made out of
Thanks I wanted to see that knife sharpener tested not by the company
with the spice grinder, isnt it so you can store some peppercorns in it? i got a similar model here and i actually have my black peppercorns in there, and when i want some grinded, lift top, put some in bottom part and start grinding?
I'm disappointed that the cast iron spice grinder didn't perform very well. I like the concept and the aesthetic, but it needs to be effective if I'm going to buy it.
Grinder gizmo is just an overgrown and less effective marijuana grinder.
ITS DAN! ???? YES! big dan fan
Love your design tweaks. Please do more items and more often! Thank you!!!!

The last time I saw something that looked and worked like the cheese grater, it was being pushed as something that would "shave the roughness off the bottom or your feet!" No thanks!
