Germ-Eliminating Knife Block Sanitises Your Stabbiness

1:30AM October 22, 2008 | Sean Fallon

Thanks to the germ eliminating knife block, the next time you stab someone you will have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your blade is 99.99% germ-free (we wouldn’t want an infection to set in now would we?). The block relies on UV-C light to eliminate bacteria—and if you are a serious germaphobe it can be set to give your knives a hit once every three hours. If stabbing isn’t your thing, it should do a decent job of eliminating pesky salmonella and staphylococcus from your foodstuffs as well. Available for $US90.
