Shiloh & Knox – knife block & nutcracker

KNOX NUTCRACKER (Marble, rubber band):
Walnuts can be cracked in various ways, as their shell is a small structural marvel with a natural logic for efficient opening. Our search for the original nut-cracking tool led us back to prehistoric times, where stones and wedges proved their function and usefulness for both humans and animals over thousands of years. In keeping with modern needs, we designed KNOX as a hand-modeled stone sculpture, equipped with a rubber band. This allows the force of the blow to be perfectly controlled, ensuring the nut is opened safely. The ease of use, combined with the fun of “wild” nut-cracking, is what makes our nutcracker truly stand out.

SHILOH KNIFE BLOCK (Calacatta marble):
Inspired by the legend that whoever pulls the sword Excalibur from the stone is the rightful king of England, the SHILOH knife block is a minimalist eye-catcher. It showcases the unique patterns and weight of the marble while serving as a practical storage solution. Different knives can be stored inside, making them easily accessible and ready to hand.
