KAPOOSH BITCHES!!!

Alright.  Who’s heard of the Kapoosh?  Well, it’s the shit.

Problem:  Storing Knives.

If you put your knives in a drawer they will dull under their own weight and get damaged by other shit in there.  Most wood knife blocks only work for the full knife set they sell with them – so you’ve got odd shaped things that don’t work with every one of them on the market.  Also, when the knife rests on it’s edge in a wooden slot, it dulls as well.

Solution:  KAPOOSH

Though not made by the lovely people who brought us the Koosh Ball, it’s name, basic function, and core technology are sort of it’s evil twin.

It’s seriously just a Knife block, but instead of having slots for knives, they’ve basically shoved an enormous koosh ball in there.  Who was smoking what when they came up with this idea?  I don’t know.  But they are freaking geniuses.

It can fit any knife at all.  All of your knives can go in it – no matter what shape or size.  The soft Kooshy Alien Fingers don’t dull or scratch the blade in any way, giving it a safe soft storage space.

Also, and most importantly – you can take all the knives out and squish your fingers in there, and it feels really weird.

You can find it for anywhere between $20-$30 online.  Ooh, I guess their making fancy stainless ones now for almost $70 too, if you wanna spend too much money .

this guy gave it a bad review.

He’s got something up his ass.  But if you’re worried about the issues he presents (I’ve owned my Kapoosh for 2 years now and never experienced any of the shit he talks about) just email him, ask him what he’s got up his ass, and get one for yourself.

The kitchen should ALWAYS be fun … no matter how serious the cooking gets.  What’s more fun than shoving a bunch of knives in a koosh ball?  not freaking much.

ok bye

I have one of those and totally agree — it is both awesome and genius and I wish I had thought of it.
