This has been my favorite store on earth since I first dropped in most of ten years ago. Thinking back, some of the things I bought really stand out - NOS CCCP military issue vodka flasks, a billy club and whistle, a beautiful polished stainless pitcher, a new set of German made Sternsteiger Damascus steel kitchen knives, four pairs of professional hair scissors from the same company, and many more curiosities and works of art. On the tool side of things, there are far too many to list. Tools which are used on a daily basis from top European, Japanese, and North American manufacturers, machining tools, and many others which I never knew existed, and which frequently raise the eyebrows of tool people when they witness something they have never seen solve a problem they have always had... I went here for my daughter's sixth birthday present. She got a beautiful new toolbox stocked with Facom, Wera, Wiha, and many others, for the same price or less than the sale prices of inferior tools at popular national stores. She has never been so excited for a gift, nor shown such pride of ownership. I frequently fix things for people, and in the pre-covid days, my daughter would always make me smile: My guests know she's a tool kid, and will sometimes try to challenge her knowledge by sending her to the tool chest to fetch (for example) a number two Phillips screwdriver. She is quite shy, and she will glance at the fastener, then at my friend, then at me, and quietly ask if perhaps they meant to ask for a number two Pozidriv... Cardon tools and the family have done something that has tangibly improved my life, brought joy to my kids, and helped bring a little humility to my adult friends who have been tool-schooled by a six-year-old girl... Well done.
