One for the Star Wars fans, this – an X-Wing Knife Block – created by bluw to celebrate the release of the seventh film later this year.
The officially licensed set contains an X-Wing shaped knife block with five stainless steel knives – a bread knife, a carving knife, a utility knife, a paring knife and a cook’s knife. Each knife has a protection sheath that it slots into.
The block is frustratingly flimsy – you have to hold it with one hand to pull a knife from it with the other and the knives are very lightweight too; it’ll be interesting to see how long they last. This is much more of a novelty gift than a serious kitchen set, I’d say. However, I can’t help but smile at the idea, regardless. Prices vary considerably from £48.99 to £79.99 so it’s worth shopping around, if you want to buy one.

I spotted one of these the other day and snapped it up for a Christmas present (Christmas shopping in March? When you spot the perfect present, it has to be done!) but I was amazed at the wide range of prices. I don’t suppose the knives will be great, but it’s a fun present for a Star wars fan
I do the same, Jane, if I see the right gift. Hope he likes it!
My husband would absolutely love this. Something to add to his Christmas list I think!
Yes, perfect as a novelty gift.
That looks impressive Kavey, love this set !! 🙂
It’s cute isn’t it!
Saw this the other day and imagined the quality wouldn’t be that great.
I want a well-made custom one my knives fit into.
Yes, for the price, I’d have liked a much sturdier base, at the very least.
Love this product! It’s currently on sale at The Fowndry…
Unbelievably cool.
Thanks Adam
I love the fact that this is such a random bit of merchandising! Shame about the quality but a fun gift for a Star Wars fan.
Yes, very random, and fun to have it on the blog, as I’m a big sci-fi books / TV / film.
Shame it doesn’t seem to be brilliant quality and odd that prices vary so much but I still think my OH would probably like this as it might encourage him to do more cooking!
It’s very cool, but yes for the price, it’s a shame it’s not less flimsy — it’s not so cheap that they couldn’t have made it more robust. It’s fun, for sure, but not hugely practical.
I’m a huge Star Wars fan but it seems more of a gimmick than something actually usable.
Me too and yes, a lost opportunity. I guess they’re operating on the assumption that it will mostly be bought as a gift and rarely for oneself, in which case it’s the idea more than the quality that wins the sales…
Love Star Wars but I have too many things in my kitchen already!!
Yeah I hear you
Alright now this is legitimately one of the coolest items I have ever seen. My wife happens to be a big Star Wars fan too, so I think I could actually convince her to get this! As you said, this clearly looks like more of a novelty gift, than something that would actually be used. That’s perfect for us though, because we want to decorate our kitchen too.
Glad you like!
I found one for a good price in excellent condition and I can tell you the knives are far from being toys , they are real knives . Very happy with this purchase.
Glad you’re happy with what you bought but I had this myself and found both the block and the knives poor quality. Perhaps there were different manufacturers making these in variable qualities?
