Gastronomista: Gift Guide: For a Useful Gent

This holiday season we are having quite the time finding a good gift for our handsome gents. Men notoriously difficult to shop for, but we have a few tricks up our sleeves yet! What is sexier than a man who can fix anything, cook a mean steak, whip up breakfast in the morning, fix that damn broken sink, and more importantly, be able so slice up some cheese and open a bottle of wine on the fly.

So we bring you Gastronomista's pocket knife guide for this holiday season::

For the Gentleman of style and distinction: this Laguiole Knife made of Mammoth Ivory & Ebony is absolutely perfect for a quick snack whilst a fierce game of chess. This is quite the classy tool - goes well with top hats and spats.
