David Silverglate: From Toys to Kitchen Tools

Many of you remember Thoughtfull Toys, Oball, and other unique inventions for hours of fun. Local entrepreneur David Silverglate is back with a serious tech tools for kitchen samurai: Bodu.

Bodu goods was started by David while sitting in his backyard after a hard year of pandemic life. He wasted no time calling up design wizard Brian Gulassa. Between the two, the idea that evolved was a set of professional grade kitchen knives that could be accessible for home cooks. The final design is a unibody structure, hand crafted with damascus steel. After extensive testing and feedback, the design earned a stamp of approval from Oswald's co-owner and head chef, Damani Thomas. The knives are designed for comfort and durability but are also a stylish addition to any kitchen. An indiegogo campaign was launched and turned out to be quite successful so the knives are now in production. The knives are now available for pre order on the Bodu Goods website: www.bodugoods.com
