Barlow & Co. products are the very best. I've only been making bread for a year, but already love their tools and know I wouldn't want to use any others! The craftsmanship is exquisite as well as useful. I started with the Bow Knife and Danish Dough Hook, but very quickly added the rolling pin and bench scraper. As soon as the bottle whisk came out, my son purchased it for my birthday. The bow knife allows me to thinly slice my bread with unprecedented precision. When you're making sourdough grilled cheese for your grandchildren, this is very important. Recently, I just purchased the Bannetons and my bread was the very best I've ever made. But, here's the thing. Working with quality tools makes me happy and I'm more likely to use them because I love them so much. The videos have given me the confidence and security I needed to confidently bake all the things. I love the feel of the wood, the fine workmanship, and knowing I'm supporting a small business that cares about their customers. They have a lifetime customer in me!
