Add a bit of fun in the kitchen with this stylish Voodoo knife block designed by Raffaele Iannello.
The voodoo knife block is in the shape of a voodoo doll / man and it comes with 5 five heavy gauge durable stainless steel blade knives.
The knives are held in place by a small magnet in the body and are protected by a plastic sheath at the back.
The set consists of:
- Chef’s Knife
- Bread Knife
- Carver / Slicer Knife
- Utility Knife
- Paring Knife
The knives are made from Moly-Van Molybdenum alloy with Vanadium stainless steel. It is used for its ability to resist corrosion but also keep an edge.
The Voodoo man block figure is made from strong ABS Plastic with a high gloss finish and its available in red, black, white and chrome/silver as well as in other limited edition or hard to find colours like green, purple, gold, orange, pink, blue.
The Voodoo knife block is also known as: All Men Are Bastards knife block, Men are jerks, Stabbed Man and ‘The Ex’ (distributed as it in North America and Canada).
The first Voodoo knife block was first sold in 2005 in red colour. In 2011 it had a restyling to improve its aesthetics and its functionality. Its new characteristics including a heavier base to add more stability and new tapered covers that fit the knives more snugly and are perfectly transparent to appear almost invisible.
The last few years original Voodoo Knife blocks by Raffaele Iannello are not available for sale as far as we can tell. Other companies started making them but with a different name to voodoo and also at a lower price bracket.
The most popular colours of this novelty knife holder are the Red, black and white. Some colours tend to be more expensive than others this has to do with the cost of manufacture and also supply and demand.
Many people mistakenly call it the Dead Fred Knife block. This happens because they are associating it with a different product, the Dead Fred pen holder (see below). The pen holder is not part of the voodoo line and its not designed by Raffaele Iannello either.and
New products belonging to the same line as the Voodoo knife block were unveiled with the release of the second edition. Most are not available in the UK at the moment with the exception of the Voodoo Five Finger knife block.
Voodoo Knife Block replacement knives
If you have owned a voodoo knife block for a very long time you may feel you need to replace the knives, especially If you own an original Raffaele Iannello model that is not made any more. If the knives have become dull, have you tried getting them sharpened? (if far gone maybe a professional will be able to bring back life into them).
Unfortunately, no replacement knives are available for sale. But not all is lost. You can replace them with similar-looking knifes available on sale. Make sure to check the blade measurement and compare (most knives have standard legths). Also, choose ones that have a stainless steel handle (Magnets in the block keep the knives in position). A great place to find some Replacements is Amazon
