You’d be hard pressed to find a more visually striking set. These classics are still as palatable today as in 1957, when Arne Jacobsen designed them. Feed your inner film geek: Notorious detail stickler Stanley Kubrick chose these utensils for 2001’s space crew. Not for the famished. The business end of this collection—–specifically the ultra-slim, three-tined fork—–is compact enough that only the most delicate bites will survive. The blade of the knife is barely sharp enough to slice through a serving of astronaut ice cream.

If your Arne Jacobson knife only cuts "astronaut ice-cream," then you only have a cheap knock-off of the original or, perhaps, a very worn and well used original.
