The Ex 5-Piece Knife Set with Unique White Holder Designed By Raffaele Iannello



Totally functional — ghoulishly appealing …

I fell in love with this at first sight — it resonates with my rather odd sense of humor, I guess. I decided to take a chance on it — I needed a set of decent knives for my “home away from home,” and after reading the reviews, I ordered.


It’s very sturdy — heavy plastic, it arrives in two pieces, and it takes only seconds to mount the figure onto the base.


The knives are very good quality, nicely weighted stainless steel. The “block” has heavy clear plastic sleeves in back to protect both the knives and the user, and the knives are secured in place with hidden magnets that “grab” each knife as it is slipped in place — nice safety feature.


This is a fairly large unit — 14+” tall, about 8-9″ in diameter. I purchased the white one, to work with the rest of my counter-top appliances, but it comes in several other colors (red, green, black, chrome).


This would be a great housewarming gift for a divorced friend.

Perfectly Morbid

All I have to say is that this knife set is the S-word. Once I found out about it, I knew that I needed one in my life. I’ve recieved countless compliments and questions from guests who come to my house, and it serves as a great conversation piece. And the knives are great too! Stainless steel, and definately sharp enough to do the job. An awesome gift for anyone who’s into this sort of thing, and kinda even likes cooking.

She loved it

I bought this more as an art piece for my girlfriend. The knives seem to be able to cut stuff although they aren’t top notch. It’s a hard plastic with non-removable translucent sheaths that stick out of the back.

Masanobu VG-10 Sujihiki 10.5″ (27cm) – Right

Masanobu sujijiki 10.5 Great knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.

TBCL Utility Knife 17 Centimeters

Image
took a chance on these knives I think $100 knives are hype so I took a chance on these more moderately priced knives and I believe it was worth it. They are the most expensive knives I have and now I have two of the utility knives (did give one away though), one of the boning knife, and one of the 15cm kitchen knife. You have to be careful with these knives because once they start cutting they will slide through, so you have to have good control and positioning or will cut yourself. The bad is that the one 17cm utility knife I’m using came with a not so perfect blade though it’s still very sharp. It has like three tiny knicks that are hard to see. The blades are thinner then normal blades but I was hoping the material be harder then this. Another problem is that even after washing/drying the utility knife after every use there is a tiny spot on the blade with a small discoloration in the metal. I wonder if it was used for something it shouldn’t have been used for or maybe the crafting
