Our process at Century is different. We don't rely on overseas factories to make accessories for us; we make them ourselves. That allows us to do our own designing, crafting, and finishing in-house. That allows us to control our own quality, In turn, you can have confidence that our products deliver what you are looking for! We don't mass produce. We don't have rows of automated machinery. But we do have dedicated workers with a solid work ethic, making your products by hand at individual work benches. The results are stunningly crafted pieces that you will love. What good is a well-crafted product if the finish is poor quality? We believe the finish is the final touch that is needed to take a product from good to great. That is why we spray our products with a 60 sheen conversion varnish. The rare blend of exceptional design and function comes together in "The Wave" Knife Block Series. Pleasant contours and optimal knife storage come together in a stunning manner.
