If I had Fantastic Doodads wishlist, this would be on the top of the list! I love it. Beats the boring old block of wood. Granted, I dont necessarily want it for an ex, but it would look shnazzy on my counter top!
Here is one advert:
"This 5pc knife holder is unlike any cutlery set you have ever seen! This whimsical, artistic kitchen accessory holds 5 high quality stainless steel kitchen knives (included) in a rather unorthodox fashion - STORE YOUR KNIVES IN AN ANONYMOUS EFFIGY DEDICATED TO WHOMEVER YOU PLEASE! Take out your frustrations as you store your knives!"
Unfortunately it is rather expensive. I have seen it from $60 to $199.99 however, it seems to ahve a 25 year warranty, lol.
- Also available in Chrome and Red.
- Razor sharp precision cutting blades
- Magnetized slots to secure knives in holder
- Set includes plastic figure plus: 8" Chef Knife, 8" Bread Knife, 8" Carver, 5" Utility Knife, 3.5" Parer
- Dimensions: 14.6" tall x 8" wide x 12" deep
- 25 year warranty

I've seen this knife set before and agree it's a good idea...but I'm left a little underwhelmed by the plastic casings hanging out the back end....It takes away from the full effect. While necessary for safety purposes....in the end it's distracting, and it would detrimentally effect the amount of money I'd be willing to spend on it.
ReplyDeleteI just figured I would fork out the 200$ for the chrome version and then break off all the casings!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I agree, that is one of the only issues I have with it. The other issue I have that affects my willingness to purchase it at such a ridiculous price is the fact the holder it's self is plastic...even the chrome one. Or so it sounds like in all the descriptions I read about the product.
Honestly....plastic? They've got to be kidding.... We should make one of our own out of one of those Artist's Mannequins...that way it would at least be wooden and we could pose it differently every day depending on our mood...
ReplyDeleteOh, and then we could draw the posed result. Hermes, your a genius!
