Move over black handled knives. There's a new set of cutlery on the scene and they're pink. Although a pink knife set may not look tough don't let the pretty color fool you. These cutting edge knives are just as sharp as all the others.
The 5100 series, designed by Mundial, is a 10-piece knife set with pink handles. They come in an assortment of styles including a serrated utility knife, a peeling knife and bread knife all set in a solid wooden block for storage. There's also a sharpening steel and kitchen scissors. The pink handles are not just pretty to look at but have 3 rivets and an ergonomic design so they fit comfortably in your hand when you chop, cut, stab or slice.
Cutlery And More
If you prefer to keep your knives out of view, Mundial also offers a set that comes in a handy case. The P51-982 Lady Pro 9-Piece Chef's Pink Knife Set has nine different forged knives all with pink handles. The handles have built in anti microbial protection to guard against germ and bacteria build up. The knife case is great for the chef on the go. Or just pack them away in their case until their next use. This is especially great for homes with curious children.
Those with a flair for the dramatic or a wicked sense of humor will like the 5-piece knife set called "The Ex". The traditional wooden block has been replaced with a hot pink knife holder in the shape of a person. Raffaele Iannello designed this controversial set. The knives are stainless steel with hollow, ergonomic handles for a firm but comfortable grip. The set includes a bread knife, utility knife, carving knife, a paring knife, and chef's knife which all get housed neatly in various parts of the holder's body. Fun and different, this knife set is a definite conversation piece when you're entertaining guests.
Knives have such a bad reputation. They're seen as dangerous, harmful and potential weapons. We use them because we have to. When not in use we store them carefully away. However, these designers are changing the way we view kitchen cutlery. These tools no longer have to be feared or just functional. Now they can be pretty to look at, comfortable to use and downright funny. Of course they still shouldn't be used as playthings, no matter how much you enjoy stabbing "The Ex".
