Hey guys, first comment over on this site. I've been a Kotaku commenter for awhile, but this site looks right up my alley too.

Oh, and 2001's my favorite movie. Love the flatware.

@strider_mt2k: It's worse than you thought: I don't have it because of the 2001 connection, but because I'm mid-century design geek.

You can get them from Georg Jensen. Sadly the SAS Radisson is not what (I suppose) it used to be. Exterior holds up (though there are much better Arne Jacobsen buildings in Denmark), but the interior has either aged terribly, or really been poorly looked after. Hotel is quite unremarkable now.

NFW, that is so cool!

You actually OWN a set of these and they can be BOUGHT?
STILL?

They'd be PERFECT with my replicator glasses. (ST not SG)

@E0157H7: Actually, I've been tempted to use the knife as a screwdriver.

Nothing says "functional and sci-fi" like a spoon with a cool-looking wrench in it for taking apart your camp stove. You could tell people that it's built-in hydrospanner.

I like how this design predates and predicts the biggest revolution in flatware history...
THE SPORK!

"...but how else can you impress the new, improved generation of HAL supercomputers at you next dinner party?"

By cutting and eating your meal with your telecinetic powers!
