At least they make amazing garden tools. There's no such thing as a

Yeah.....right! Meanwhile, Smith & Hawken has spectacular spades & forks,
made in England, for $50-$60. My ex-wife has the 25 yr old steel versions we
bought together, without a speck of rust or a dent in their ash handles. How
does this Florian outfit get away with $215.00? :-) I think it's because
they're located in Martha Stewart territory.
