Are you anxious at the thought of cooking?

If I had a nice house with nice things in it, I would like to own something like that. Although maybe my definition of "nice" shouldn't include anything which can also be described as "stabby."

I can't figure out how to buy it, short of going to Italy. Always wanted to go to Italy. . .

God, that's awesome. Too dangerous to have around the house with two little boys, but really cool.

Too dangerous to have even without kids at home. It's far too easy to skewer your fingers with the sharp tips. Please children, always keep sharp knives safely.

Awesome. I would risk injury (to myself) to own that.

Yikes! It's all cool and groovy and cutting edge-- but I wouldn't want to look at it every day when I am cooking. All my stabby stuff gets displayed in the bedroom where it belongs!

Are you guys serious about this being dangerous? I mean, I'm known for hurting myself in stupid clumsy ways, but I'm completely capable of grasping a knife by the handle and not waving my fingers around the sharp pointy bits. Most kids I know are capable of the same thing. Mr. Stabby guy certainly is a safer way of keeping knives than just throwing them in a drawer. The only reason I can see that would make this a bad thing to have around kids is that it's a lot more tenpting to play with than a butcher block or a magnetic strip (my knife-storage option of choice until I saw this thing--too bad I can't go to Italy).

but I'm completely capable of grasping a knife by the handle and not waving my fingers around the sharp pointy bits You say this now, but if you keep your knives as sharp as you should you just wait until a tub of flour falls out of a cabinet, knocking this thing to the floor and impaling your foot, or your spouse or pet or kid knocks it off, or hot grease splatters on your hand and you jerk it back into the blades. There are about a million other ways this thing could get you, that's the thing about accidents, you can't forsee the combination of events that's going to end up badly. Still, these are super cool.

I've been trying to find a Vice Versa catalog or outlet. I must have one! Not only that, it's the only thing I will ever give as a wedding gift again, unless it's expensive.

You guys crack me up. Ooooo the knives are exposed so little Timmy's going to gouge his eyes out! The above listed things could happen with any knife block/rack. Except for the hot grease and jerking thing, and I think anyone who had this would have the block with the back to a counter (like any other knife block) which would make jerking backwards into it pretty much impossible...

Ooooo the knives are exposed so little Timmy's going to gouge his eyes out! I don't have kids, so I'm not worried about that at all. Call me crazy, but I don't want my chef's knife impaling my hand/thigh/foot. There's no way any of these things could happen with a block that encloses the blades. They aren't going to be able to fall out in a way that can stab you in the space between the counter and the floor. Also, this thing has the weight of 5 knives plus the block behind it, a single knife doesn't have nenarly the penetration power. I don't have the time to type it up, but Alton Brown talks in his book about a friend that had to have serious stitches in his hand because of a combination of inattentiveness, razor sharp kinves, and an exposed blade knife rack.
