Meeting Knives

meeting_knives04

Meeting is a set of kitchen knives: paring knife, carving knife, chef’s knife, filleting knife and their block. They all seem to be sculpted out of one piece of steel. The proportions are determined by the Fibonacci sequence with as it’s base the average width of a hand. This set was awarded the first prize of the Fifth European Award for Cutlery Creation and is edited by Deglon in Thiers (France). The Deglon Meeting Knife Set is practical, durable and a work of art. Designed by Mia Schmallenbach, the set of sculptural, nested knives won first prize in the 5th European Cutlery Design Awards. The set is made of high quality stainless steel and seemingly appears to be created from a single block of stainless steel. To remove each knife, simply press down near the tip of the blade and lift knife away by the handle. The set includes 4 knifes, a paring knife, a utility knife, a chef knife and a slicer. Deglon’s “Meeting Knife Set” is outrageously expensive (more than $1,000 for the metal base and more than $500 for the wood base), so I’m not recommending anyone run out and buy them. Rather, just take a moment to admire their nesting and organized beauty.
