Diamond Encrusted Knives

Bling Swiss Army Knife Picture

For those of us who prefer the finer things, here’s a diamond-encrusted swiss army knife. The “Collection Victoria” is adorned with 800 flawless diamonds, and limited to 120 pieces. From

I’ve actually seen one of these (behind glass) at the Victorinox UK flagship store. It’s pretty!



Based on three-inch Executive-Type knife, the new knives feature a nail file and nail cleaner, orange peeler with screwdriver, ring and tweezers next to a couple of blades. To be the one amongst 120 lucky chaps, you will have to shell out $50,000 for the yellow gold version while the the platinum one will set you back $70,000.

Nesmuk Diamond-Studded Kitchen Knife

This is what happens when a jeweler and a blade-smith come together: a beautiful (if totally impractical) diamond-studded kitchen knife. Quintin Nel and Hoffmann/Pieper are the experts behind this creation, which is part of an exclusive group of handmade knives called "Nesmuk" that are said to be the sharpest and most expensive knives in the world. Each features a sterling silver handle, a carbon steel blade, and 8 diamond accents. It all comes nestled neatly in a piano box along with a coordinating diamond ring for €31,000 (a ring and a knife seems like a strange combo but who am I to judge).
