We all need a place to stash our blades.

Gone are the days of the scratched, boring wooden knife blocks, it's time for something a little more imaginative, a little more cutting edge.

The Voodoo Knife Set is a pretty radical alternative to the typically boring block o’ wood. Crafted in rich ABS plastic and depicting a Morph-like human form, the highly stylish Voodoo has five strategically-positioned slots for you to take out your frustrations as you store your  five quality and precision finished stainless steel kitchen knives, which are also included.

The display provides individual protective knife sleeves, and each knife is held in the design by magnets within the structure.

Designed by noted Italian designer Raffaele Iannello, this imaginative knife display makes a welcome accessory to any kitchen.

It's evident, even to the untrained eye, that this radical new designer knife rack is no chip off the old block, which no modern chef (or aspiring chef) should be without.

As inventive and humorous as the Unique and Cathartic Voodoo Knife Holder is, go beyond the immediate visual impact (if you can) and you find a well thought out and practical object. The super-sharp, stainless steel knives are high-quality and keep their edge superlatively. The knives are protected from accidental slicing by plastic sleeves, and are held in place by magnets to avoid unintended ejection. Small rubber stabilizers under the base of the holder provide an added layer of balance for safety. Includes: bread knife, carver/slicer. chef's knife, utility knife, paring knife.

A conversation piece if there ever was one.
