About Z P L & Co

Hardy like an axe, handy like a pocket knife. At Z P L & Co, we create timeless cooking tools and everyday essentials inspired by the ingenuity of the past. Each of our products is carefully crafted, drawing inspiration from original 19th-century patents and vintage designs that have withstood the test of time. From our solid copper scoop to the patented Miller Multi‑Tool (1898) and Thayer’s Universal Tool (1881), we celebrate the functionality, simplicity, and beauty of historical craftsmanship. Every piece we make tells a story — one of purpose, quality, and American heritage. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, we manufacture our products right here in the USA, utilizing traditional materials and methods. Whether it’s a kitchen tool built for daily use or a uniquely nostalgic gift item, our products combine authenticity with practicality — ideal for modern makers, cooks, and collectors alike. Z P L & Co is a brand for those who appreciate tools that are as meaningful as they are useful.Read their story
