- THEBEASTSOFALLCHEFS’ KNIVES
Stephen Webster in London designed these knives ($39,000 per
six-knife set) with sculpted bronze handles and hand-forged steel
blades. Each set has an engraved, numbered box. British restaura-
teur and cookbook author Mark Hix tested each knife in a kitchen to
show that it’s useful as well as beautiful. stephenwebster.com

THEOCTOPODTABLECLOCK
MB&F in Switzerland conceived this table clock ($35,000) as a nod
to cephalopods and the bathysphere from the 1989 James Cameron
fi lm The Abyss. The Swiss clockmaker L’Epée 1839 makes the
Octopod, which can stand or crouch on its eight legs. Only 50 apiece
are being made in black, blue and silver, respectively. mbandf.com
