Over the past few decades, the growing world economy has led to a startling range of options for even humdrum kitchen tools. Let's talk pizza cutters. Starting at the bottom, you can pick up a plastic-handled model at Walmart for $2.37.

I'm sure it works well enough, at least for the first few weeks, but you probably won't be handing this down to your grandchildren.

If you step up to $12, you can get an OXO model with their Good Grips feature.

If you want something plastic-free, OXO offers a Steel Pizza Wheel for $18. Now we're looking at something you'll keep forever.

Moving into more designey territory, Caraway's stainless steel pizza cutter features some pleasing radii at the hilt. It runs $55.

Then we get to the money-is-no-object offering. Dalstrong, a Canadian manufacturer of designey kitchen goods, offers a $130 pizza cutter. It looks like what they use to cut the pizza in Valhalla.

Like the Caraway model, the handle and hilt are a single piece of stainless steel, but here the sculpted hilt is like something you'd see on a sword. The scalloped handle is clad in two pieces of olive wood, and the wheel is made from the type of German steel you see in high-end kitchen knives.

The manufacturer says the three-spoke design allows you to generate more downforce, but it's not clear to me how that works.

There is one functional feature the others lack: Here the wheel is removable, in order that you can easily clean or re-sharpen it.

Priciness aside, Dalstrong does offer protection against buyer's remorse: They offer a 70-day 100% money-back guarantee.
