This limited edition set of knife hooks is the perfect way to show guests that you are on the cutting edge when it comes to hanging coats, hats, cadavers or whatever. Designed by Tiyani Chang's TC Studio, these matte black hooks are made of polyurethane and steel. Sadly, they are not stabbed into the wall; they are screwed in more or less like normal hooks. Only 50 will be made available when they go on sale in May, at $50 a piece. The concept is so simple, it makes us wonder: How many of you have already created this design a hundred times over after burning dinner or mangling a Hot Pocket? [Bouf via Freshome]

Not sure what either this or the 12 dollar coffee cup is doing on a technology blog, but contrary to the latter, this is actually something that could conceivably find its way into my apartment.
After I switched form my current apartment to the loft with 18 times my current rent.
And bought that limited edition Chrysler Crossfire. And the original Dick Tracey yellow coat. And Spielberg's first camera.

This be more satisfactory.
also could combine to make a secret entry switch.
"How many of you have already created this design a hundred times over after burning dinner or mangling a Hot Pocket?"
Only you Giz - only you...
They don't look particularly well made or anything worthy of their pricetag.
And could people please stop complaining "What is this doing on Gizmodo?"
Personally I like the ones from "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory."
sharp design
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one looking for a Dick Tracy yellow coat.
Wouldn't be cheaper to get an actual knife set and stick in in the wall?
This is one of those things that no one has to sell you.
Step 1: Buy knife
Step 2: Stab knife into wall at an aesthetically pleasing angle
Step 3: Hang coat
Haha you said "cutting edge"...
They look cool, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't cost $50 to weld a screw to a cheep knife.
@Hvedhrungr: They're shiny new toys... I don't see the problem. I bet more readers are going to buy a new coffee cup before they use a web based program to calculate how much solar paneling they should buy for their home.
Especially us New Yorkers who dont technically own our roofs :)
Screw this shit... we just lay our guests coats, hats and other misc. bullshit on a couch or bed. and plus... those "knives" look lame anyway. Way too small.
@Papsky:
But what if someone shits on the coats? What if someone shits in or around the coat area?
After a night of hanging out with my droogs, I like to listen to the old Baron Von in the tub with a tall glass of warm moloko. Now I have a proper place to hang my dorogoy nickers, so-s they don't get wet.
@DeadWriter: YOU SAID IT BEST
@mikejonas: Your expecting me around ? And yes I do wipe my dick on the curtains
I don't get it.
@DeadWriter:
What he said.
@Hvedhrungr:
Lighten up.
Did this story distract you from the OTHER burningly important tech news or something?
@strider_mt2k: It did in fact distract me from my quest to drink a scalding hot beverage from no less than 4 stacked cups!
Brass knuckle Chair, check!
Brass knuckle mugs, check!
Kill Shot pillows, check!
Knife hooks, check!
Gift registry for a redneck wedding is almost complete.
Can you imagine attempting to explain this one to your landlord when they come over to unclog the toilet?
I haven't seen your girlfriend come by lately.
We broke up a few weeks back... I didn't take it well.
Well, toilets all fixed. I'll be seeing you.
Hello, 911. What is your emergency?
@BigViper: In your best Sean Bean voice, I take it?
@ripfire4: Are you preparing to commit murmaider?
