Santa Fe Stoneworks bread knife
Sporting a gorgeous turquoise inlay, this one-of-a-kind knife adds another artisanal level to cutting through crusty handcrafted loaves. Available at Mociun, 224 Wythe Ave at North 4th St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-387-3731, mociun.com). $114.
Nikka Taketsuru 12-Year Pure Malt
Starting this month, Japan’s Nikka distillery will offer its award-winning 12-year-old malt whiskey in the U.S. for the first time, ending Suntory’s monopoly of the exploding stateside market for Japanese hooch. Velvet-smooth, the blend of malts blooms richly on the palate, evolving from dry pepperiness to a creamy, caramel-like finish. Available at klwines.com. $60.
