Hey Tony, I Told You So

HEY TONY, I TOLD YOU SO.

Tony paid $5000 for the Space Knife. That was a steal, but at the auction, it went for $231,250. I often try to wrap my head around that number, nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Maybe that might have also been a steal, that knife has a bit of Bob Kramer’s heart and a bit of Anthony Bourdain’s soul. That’s pretty powerful stuff.

Much of the auction proceeds will support the Anthony Bourdain Legacy Scholarship at The Culinary Institute of America. That’s pretty great too.

I know I know. Nobody GAFF.

Sounds like $5k was a steal. This one is $50k

And the $1.8M in auction proceeds go to his wife and kid and a Culinary Institute of America scholarship.

I just googled him and got to his site. 0.5%er knives.

Pretty much. Made from a meteorite. That’s kinda cool.

Apparently Bourdain’s knife wasn’t as glitzy as the OP pic.

There’s an old superstition that you can’t trust your knife until you cut yourself with it-so until then, you have to be wary of it. Once you nick yourself, your relationship can begin. I am not looking forward to my first cut with this. It will literally nick your finger off very, very quickly. And I like my fingers.

I’m afraid of it. I fear the knife.

and a good knife needs a good cutting board.

Most of his stuff is just as good. He was a quality human being. It’s a sad loss.

Looks worthy of a Kramer blade. Is it for sell?

That one sold several years ago.

I do consider requests. You can PM me. Give me an idea of size, colors, budget.

If I recall, that one went for about $300.

Lumber costs have gone way up this year, so another one similar to that, I’d be asking near $500.
