Dan Formosa @ Epicurious reviews Cutlery

Design and usability guru Dan Formosa @ Epicurious reviews portable cutlery in a episode of Well Equipped.

We here at The Cutlery Review do our best to keep you informed about new and existing products in the world of flatware. We are the first to admit that the word “review” in our name isn’t exactly correct. A true review is getting your hands on the product and doing a full critical hands on test, recommendations and a rating. This is precisely what Dan does and an amazing job at that. We applaud you Dan!

You get can find the cutlery he reviews here.

Nicolas Cage Cutlery

Why Nicolas Cage Cutlery? Why not Nicolas Cage Flatware? Why a Nicolas Cage Spoon? Why not a fork? Why not a knife. OK, we know why not a knife. But a Nicolas Cage Spoon is nice.

We don’t know where this cutlery came from or who made it.

Merry Xmas!

3D Printed Cutlery

We all knew this day was coming and here it is. The day that 3D printing technology finally can do justice with metals and create cutlery. We had been waiting patiently for this day and the flatware is finally here.

“3D printing technology manufacturer 3D Systems has just released a new collection of high end flatware designed by Finnish 3D artist and 3D Systems Creative Director, Janne Kyttanen. This stunning set of silverware is called Ice Breaker, and was 3D printed using their newest metal 3D printing process Direct Metal Printing (DMP). The Ice Breaker collection is just the latest in a growing trend of designers that are starting to explore new metal 3D printing technologies usually reserved for automotive or aerospace components and apply them to high end consumer products.”

“But before you get excited about the idea of custom 3D printed flatware, the DMP process is still pretty new, and at the moment quite pricey. While 3D Systems didn’t provide a cost to have the complete Ice Breaker set printed with their Quickparts service, it probably isn’t going to be cheap.”

Eating Soup With A Fork

Illustrator and animator Hanna Norberg-Williams made this short film about neurodivergent people called “Eating Soup With A Fork.”

We here at the Cutlery Review love cutlery and cutlery related things that support people and culture. And this fits this bill. It’s not just all about forks, knives and spoons. And it’s not just about food. It’s about people.

Hanna’s comment on the film: “Eating soup with a fork makes no sense as a concept – it’s using the completely wrong tool for an otherwise simple task.”

This film’s animation style and sound design is a delight. And a great insight into how some other people interact with and see the world. We are all different, we are all unique and we are all wonderful.
