I went to culinary school so I'm supposed to be inexplicable into knives, but I'm not really. I like them a lot, some more than others. I like using them, some more than others. I like that they exist because I couldn't cut much without them in the kitchen but I don't go crazy over them. It may have something to do with the fact that these days, since I finished school, I spend more time writing about knives than I do actually using them, or even sharpening them. Embarrassingly, I don't even take very good care of the ones I have, and some of them aren't that bad. Granted, some of them are awful. Thanks dad for the 5.99 set of six knives from Big!Lots. I bet it was a real bargain. Happy birthday to me. But if I had these Mia Schmallernbach knives I would baby them like the only child of rich European royalty who is positioned to become the next king.
They're called 'Meeting' and I'm wondering how I can schedule one. The set of four takes up as much space as one thanks to the ingenious design. Thin, sleek, solid, each knife looks like it came from the same piece of metal and they are all housed in the same streamlined 'block'. They're almost completely flat and probably ultra light but they still have the recognizable shape of paring, caring, chef's and fillet knives. The designers even used math to craft them (proportions determined by the Fibonacci sequence). They're probably more arty than practical, but I don't care. I want these nesting knives more than I've wanted any other knives before probably because I always tend to want the most expensive thing in a class of already pricey items, like cutlery or shoes or furniture. My kitchen will be equipped with these one day and hopefully by then they'll have design some matching nesting flatware.
