Dexter, Knife Connoisseur




I was catching up with some missed episodes of DEXTER and noticed Dexter's tastes in kitchen cutlery. He uses A samarai-edge Shun Kaji SG-2 Damascus steel knife with Pakkawood handle....what a refined connoisseur, keeping Williams-Sonoma in business....on a blood-spatter-analyst's salary!





Nevertheless, I was motivated to award my own darkish-passenger with a set of pakkawood Damascus steel animal carcass dissection kitchen knives....  The knives arrived ......each, in a bag of oil.....to waylay rusting......they reminded me of the surgical 'tools' in David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers....for cutting flesh and bone....sinews, ligaments and cartilage...and of Uma Thurman's knife-welding sprees in KILL BILL,  and the latest reincarnation of DEXTER, and....of course.....Christian Bale's AMERICAN PSYCHO..... and Norman Bates shower curtain shredding equipment.....
