The Ex 5pc Knife Set with Unique Red Holder designed by Raffaele Iannello

I couldn't figure out what to buy my single son for his 27th b-day. He needed knifes, how boring. I saw this and laughed! He loves it and it is a coversation piece and handy. The knifes are very good quality.

I received this knife set as a birthday gift and absolutely loved it. It is definitely a conversation starter. The knives were decent quality and the plastic holder was sturdier than expected. There are protective covers on the back of the holder to cover the knife blades. This was important to me as we leave our knife block on the middle of the counter by our built in range.

I thought this looked hillarious when I ordered it online, but the joke doesn't quite work when it is sitting in your kitchen. First, it is plastic. For some reason I expected metal. Second, the knives that came in mine were very nice looking and felt good in your hand but were not sharp considering the price. You're paying for novelty, not quality. The unit is all plastic and much larger than I would have expected. There's really nowhere to put it in my kitchen -- not to mention it doesn't match most decor. I wouldn't say this is a bad product, but do sleep on it if you're thinking about getting this -- it isn't your average knife stand!

I bought this a year or so ago and love it!!!! I haven't used the knifes that came with the EX because I prefer a higher quality knife but they seem to be great quality and durable. My only complaint is that the guy on top of the base seems unsterdy at times. Not the kind of knife holder you would want if you have children but perfect for the young and fabulous!!!

I bought this for my boyfriend's new house, he loved it! And we got so many compliments of this cute knife stand. It is bigger than what i expected, but it really pops out in or kitchen! The knifes are great, and there are some magnets inside the holes to hold the knife tight. I like the design a lot!

When I bought this product I was mostly seeking a novelty product and not expecting the quality which I received. The knives themselves are well weighted and consist of one piece of metal. The handles are very comfortable and well sized. The holder actually has magnets in it to guide the knives in to place and hold them there. I especially like the safety and cleanliness provided by the plastic sleeves. The sharpness of the knives was not the best and the base of the knife holder is much larger than I expected. I would not recommend this product if you don't have enough counter space. Again, quick delivery, great price, excellent condition...thanks Overstock.com!

got this as a gift for an ex. seemed appropriate. he liked it: "the knives are surprisingly sharp." there's some magnetization in the holder where the knifes go in--makes them rest more securely AND provides a little resistance when sticking the knives in (for a more stabby sense). takes up a bit more counter space than the more typical knife block, but looks so much cooler! possible downside is that the holder is all plastic--it's feels sturdy, but wondering how durable it will be.

This is the perfect knife holder...me love it long time.

I love this knife set. I am a single woman and this knife holder gets all kinds of comments from guests.

I bought this set for my sister and I'm jealous! I was surprised that the holder is hollow and lightweight, but it is still sturdy and the knife slots are actually magnetic to keep the blades in place which is useful. The knives themselves are about the quality I expected, they are quite sharp and work fine. I would have paid more for a solid stand and better quality set of knives, but for the price this set is just awesome. This set paid for itself when a visiting four-year old looked and my sister's counter and said "Well. That guy's dead."

The holder itself is great - it probably wouldn't survive a drop on the floor, but it looks good and is stable on the counter. The knives, however, got rust spots after one washing in the dishwasher. There is nothing in the packaging that says the knives are not dishwasher-safe. I'm thinking about returning the knives to the manufacturer since they are under warranty. So, I'd recommend it to a friend, but with a warning about handwashing the knives.

Everyone loves my new knife set and holder. It may be called "the ex"...and I am happily married...but this is so funny. Everyone comments favorably. I don't know, maybe my friends are I are all twisted! Oh, the knives are a nice quality too. The set is quite large and sturdy. Buy it. I smile everytime I see it:)

Nice buy! It was a great gift. Well packaged and shipped on time. I should have bought more.

The kinves look great and appear to be of a great quality, but after a couple of months of use and washing, they start rusting badly. Also the base of the item is sturdy, but the item is a very thin plasic overall. This item is more for show and tell than regular use.

I must say this is a great conversation piece, but that being said...the knives have rust on them! I have had this set less than a month and used it several times. The knives are sharp, the display is a hoot, but the knife handles have several rust spots giving them the apperance of being old and very worn. I am very disappointed, for the amount of money I spent on the knives, the reviews they had, I expected more! New knives should not rust!

GROSS!!!! Okay so the stand is absolutely hilarious - also the slits for the knives are magnetic so everything is held in place. As for the knives...they claim to be stainless steel but they get gross spots and are all rusting. Wish I didn't buy this. GROSS!!!

Daughter loved it. Especially since she was going through a divorce 😂😂

This is a classic purchase for anyone who has gone through a divorce. It is well made and very solid. It’s a great conversation starter and every time you place your nice back in the Ex, you feel much better. Cheap therapy!

I bought this for my daughters kitchen (at her request) and it really looks great on her counter top!! People love it when they see it and it is a great conversation starter!

I wanted this knife holder as soon as i saw it! It is a great conversation piece. It was a good price, and it was shipped quickly and packed well.

The knives aren’t the best on the market but this piece really makes a statement. Fun little counter decoration

Love it, so fun! I bought as a gift and they enjoyed it.

Gets a laugh every time. From me.

Super cool piece, adds to the kitchen.

The whole piece is pretty cute. The knives were okay. The real downside is he does take up a lot of counter space, but overall, a pretty entertaining addition to the kitchen.

I LOVE this knife block. It is hilarious and quite the conversation starter. It was so unique I just had to have it!
