BasicKnives - Our world is over technologized and we tend to forget and enjoy daily things in life. Evidence can be found in our kitchen where blenders and food processors are taking over the place.
BasicKnives reinterprets one of our most basic kitchen tools, the knife. It incorporates different (cutting) tools within the blade surface, making other tools in the kitchen drawer redundant.

BasicKnives, the set. - BasicKnives reinterprets one of our most basic kitchen tools, the knife. The set of knives makes other kitchen tool redundant by incorporating different (cutting)-actions within the un-used surfaces of the blades.
All manipulations happen within the thickness of the blade, reducing manufacturing interventions, and preventing interference within the original cutting action.

The co-injection moulded handle is produced by using the 'unfinished' rapid prototype for the master. The 0.1 mm building steps leave a 'wood grain'-like surface, creating grip, and referencing to traditional handles.
