I did a bit of a double take msyelf, but that just makes them a little extra cool. And he does have some very nice turned wood mills on his site as well. Thanks for the comment! @Geakz, I liked the mills before I handled them and realized they were a Vic Firth product. I did a bit of a double take msyelf, but that just makes them a little extra cool.

As a drummer/percussionist for over 30 years, I've always had a pair of Vic Firth drumsticks in my stick bag. The percussionist community has always known his (drum) products to be first rate. Until your post, I had no idea he had 'diversified' his product to include a culinary line. A sign of the times perhaps. I can't vouch for the salt and pepper grinders, but I can vouch for his drum products. It would make more sense to me if they had been shaped like mini bongos or something. “Vic’s Sticks”.

From your description, the only difference I can see is that mine don't have a fancy name attached to them, so no: they're definitely not worth it...

You don't want to use them for heavy jobs, but perfect for that quick shot. @ Julie, They’re about 5 3/8″ tall by 1 1/8″ in diameter and heavy duty.

I went to the website and can see how large they are. He's got some other really interesting cooking products for sale too. :) Ok, nevermind. I went to the website and can see how large they are.

How large are they? The protective sleeve shown in the picture makes them appear to be travel sized. @David These look really cool. How large are they?
