DESIGN // MEETING THE KNIVES

I am continually amazed at how some people can turn an everyday mundane product into a sleek and stylish work of art. Being a fan of uber-cool kitchen products my eye was drawn to this amazing set of kitchen knives which I don’t need as I have a perfectly good set already but after seeing the pictures below ‘I want’.

This knife set, manufactured by Deglon is called ‘Meeting’ and was designed by Mia Schmallenbach. It won first prize at the 5th European Cutlery Design Awards. I didn’t know there was such a thing either but sign me up for the 6th. The set contains a paring, carving, filleting and Chef’s knife that all nest seamlessly together to give the impression they are a single block of steel.  Actually thinking about it, it looks like a knife version of the frozen Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back.

If you also love this set and have a spare £700 - £800 then head on over to Amazon sharpish! There are some pretty good customer reviews to check out, this being one of my favourite.

“You know how you instinctively move your foot when a sharp knife falls over the edge of the counter? With Deglon's stack of four sharp knives, now you have little chance of escaping without a deep laceration or puncture wound.”

Chopping some veg with these knives makes you look cool but chopping veg with these knives while wearing yellowdog makes you even cooler so head on over to our shop now.
