    Why is it so difficult to believe that Stone-age era man invented TRIANGLES? They were essentially the same creatures as we are.

    you know, there's a reason they left those in the stone age when they got to the bronze age.



    unless he took the time to smash those ceramic blades off of a giant ceramic stone, they won't be any sharper than your standard knife. without a handle.

    Like any designer worth his salt, Matthias knows that the best designs are those that take something simple and useful and turn it into something unusable. I see big things in your future Matthias. Big things.

    @cpthook: I agree. I saw them and thought how simple, basic and FUNCTIONAL they are. As a cook, I would love to try these.



    But, yes, I would probably chop my finger off too.
