Cutting Edge Designs

It was always interesting when Steve – Stave’s founder and Chief Tormentor – went on vacation. He would be enjoying a balmy, beachside breeze or lining up a three-foot putt on the seventh green when his thoughts naturally drifted to new ways to drive his customers batty. Time away from the office would result in trademark torments like the Whammy Edge, the Empty Interlock, and the Phony Corner (not to mention Trick puzzle designs, Crazy Claws, and Monkey Fists). Steve was never one to rest on his laurels – neither is his successor, Jennifer. Always eager to devise new ways to up the Stave game, Jennifer – Stave’s Co-Owner and Master Crafter - has closely collaborated with our expert graphics team to bring you to the next level of puzzling adventure.

Stave Introduces Cutting Edge!

Using images hand-picked specifically for this unique new style of puzzles, Jennifer and her team of Stave artisans have conspired to fill each
Cutting Edge design with puzzling elements far beyond what you experience in our Traditional style puzzles.

Here is just a sampling of what you may discover in a Cutting Edge puzzle:

• Super Erratic Irregular Edge - You may not be able to tell where it starts—or where it will end.
• Devious Double-Decker or Tricky Triple-Decker - These pieces really stack up and take puzzling to an entirely new level!
• Radical Repeating Silhouettes - (like a lot!) You may think you’re seeing double, or triple...
• Winsome Windows and Sneaky Sculpts - These are like the sand traps of the jigsaw puzzle world.
• Wicked Whammy Edges - Like, really? Do any of these edge pieces actually connect?!
• Silhouette Sting - Ooops! We’ve said too much. You need to put the puzzle together to discover this one.
