Usually, combing booze and sharp objects isn’t a wise decision. Introducing the two together will rarely be followed by someone shouting, “Dude, that was awesome!” No, it will most likely be something along the lines of, “Dude,... continue...
Combining two things men love into one awesome product has always been a recipe for success. Putting bacon on pizza (or just about anything else, really). The creation of the spork. Swiss Army Knives. Watches made out of wood. And now, this Marshall Fridge.... continue...
For most of you reading this, Ramen isn’t an acceptable food substitute anymore. Knowing how to grill the perfect patty and slap some cheese on it is a skill, but you need to know your way around a few other dishes as well. We’re not going... continue...
We’ve been known to enjoy a beer or three on occasion. Seeing as how this is Cool Material after all, it should come as no surprise that we have a pretty expansive collection of openers at our disposal. Some beers call for knuckles, others for knives... continue...
If you’re quickly passing by this post because you see the $300+ price tag at the bottom, we urge you to wait! These headphones are actually cheap. Your eyes are wandering off again, aren’t they? Now you think this is some kind of sales... continue...
One of the reasons we love Garrett Wade so much is because it’s a store for real men. They’re our go to for knives, axes, and other toys we enjoy sharpening while drinking black coffee outdoors on a freezing morning. You know when they started... continue...
How many of you reading this have contingency plans prepared for the zombie apocalypse? Be honest. Even before The Walking Dead (one of the few reasons we’ll actually get out of bed on Sunday), Romero gave us plenty of good things to think about.... continue...
We can’t think of many things in the home that are more completely boring and utilitarian than flatware. You take the pieces you need out of the drawer, use them, throw them in the dishwasher and then put them back in the drawer. Unless you break... continue...
Location: Collingswood, NJ Cool Material is your Internet best friend. Part Barney Stinson, part Bear Grylls and part Don Draper, we scour the web, magazines and stores near and far to bring everything from gadgets and gizmos to watches and women right... continue...
Cut Brooklyn is to bladed kitchen instruments what Rolex is to watches and Bugatti is to adrenaline junkies. Made by Hand takes a very intimate look at the journey of Joel Bukiewicz from writer to knife maker of the New York elite. Just remember kids,... continue...
You already turn to Garrett Wade for all the knives you buy (actually that makes you sound like a knife-wielding lunatic, but you know what we mean) now you can dial-up the rustic man shop for your grooming needs as well. While you probably don’t... continue...
The “proper” utensil goes pretty much as follows: fish fork, dinner fork, salad fork, (insert plate here), service knife, fish knife, and then soup spoon. To hell with that. Do you honestly need half of those utensils? Of course not. Unless... continue...
It seems kind of random but we like how professional chefs keep their knives in a roll-up then lay them out when it’s time to go to town on a whole pig. The simplicity of having all your tools for a job compacted like that is something we’d... continue...
We don’t remember much from our business classes at community college, but the words of one particularly influential professor will stick with us for the rest of our lives. “No one likes change but a wet baby.” Generally, he’s... continue...
As a man, it’s within the realm of possibilities that you own a blade. You’ve probably collected a few over the years because every time you can’t find yours you just buy a new one. But are they Bear Grylls blades? If you, as a man,... continue...
