It’s the recession time and everybody is cutting down on their expenses, some literally scrimping their budgets and some still economizing comfortably. But I never thought somebody would think of cutting down on the space of the kitchen knives’ block set.

Blame it on the recession or not, Aaron Roots, a creative designer has come up with an innovative singular knifes concept that cuts down the size of your knives’ set box. Aaron’s knife set box allows you to keep each knife in its own block, magnets on the other side, making it possible for you to place at least three knives together in its own unique block set.

The most fascinating thing is that the magnets will allow you to stick the block to anything metal like the fridge, a metal shelving unit, etc. There is no information available still regarding its price tag. This will be useful if you keep misplacing your knives or the knives’ set. However, it’s no big deal and I do not see anything special about this product. This is not going to sharpen my knives in any way.

Talk about technology pervading all spheres of life and there are umpteen examples to be given. Here is what I found on the net, which poses as the world’s most technical egg slicer. I fail to understand why someone would need a technical egg slice when the good old butter knife is enough to slice boiled eggs.

In the quest to fool the consumers and perhaps play with their zany tastes, companies will create technical egg slicers, robotic scissors, etc. However, if you want to consider the product seriously, it comes with blades that cuts the eggs into halves or slices and an integrated egg piercer helps prevent an egg’s shell from cracking while being boiled.

It also comes with concave cup to support your egg’s hind while it’s front is being whacked off. And if you think you will slip while slicing an egg, worry not, because it comes with a nonslip feet. All said and done, I would love to slice my boiled eggs with the knife I bought many years ago. I must remind myself to get the knife sharpened and have a good laugh at ‘technical’ posers such as these.
