MIYABI Birchwood knives (starting at $189.99)

If dad has mastered his knife skills and is looking to add a high-end knife to his collection, we recommend the artful (and razor-sharp) MYIABI Birchwood knives. Both the blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials, which shape their striking appearance and give them their strength. Their micro-carbide powder steel core is protected by 100 layers of steel adorned with a flowery Damascus pattern provide, that not only adds good looks, but also durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking handle made from Karelian birch, the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, MIYABI Birchwood knives feel as good as they look.

Mud Pie Leather “Pour” Decanter ($35)

No bar cart is complete without a classy decanter and we love this leather option from Mud Pie. Adorning the decanter is a faux leather but still entirely gorgeous accent, embossed with the word “Pour.” This decanter also features a removable wood ball bottle stopper for a touch of rustic-chic design.

Wooden kitchen utensils from Mason Cash (starting at $7)

We love a kitchen utensil that is both beautiful and functional, and Mason Cash does both in spades — perfect for the dad who loves new tools. Unlike other kitchen utensils that only offer one use, each Mason Cash utensil combines two different tools in one convenient piece of cookware. The slotted spoon does more than scoop and strain — it also separates eggs. The innovative wooden spoon and jar scraper makes mixing and measuring easier with measurement lines for 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon and 1/2 teaspoon printed inside. And if you flip this tool over, you can use the jar scraper to get the last bit of peanut butter out of the jar. Your dad will be surprised at all of the different uses these kitchen utensils offer.
