knives by MKS design (a company founded by Adam Simha based in Cambridge, MA--they mostly make modern furniture out of steel)
I couldn't get the pictures off the site but I think they're worth looking at... the handles seem very utilitarian and they seem sort of "manly"...
more like something i would find in my dad's toolbox than my mother's kitchen
Toni Grilo for Christofile did some very untraditional and interesting things with cutlery/flatware... whatever you want to call it
Spoon Bowl: Only 20 were made
Quote:
In his 2006 ‘From’ collection, Toni Grilo, the 28 year-old Franco-Portuguese artist audaciously reinterpreted the creations of the great Parisien silversmith, Christofle – turning knives and forks into works of art. Produced in Christofle’s ‘Haute Orfèvrerie’ workshops from 30 silver-plated Christofle spoons, this surprising but apparently effortless piece is one of the collection’s most charming. You can’t help feeling that the illustrious role call of Christofle’s historic clients (King Louis-Philippe, Napoleon III, the Tsar of Russia, the Emperor of Mexico, Pope Pius IX among them) would have approved.
Jean-Christophe Karich will soon have his Flat Salad cutlery produced for Pandora Design, a salad spoon and fork that are made from a single piece of flat wood.
