I've seen some goofy campaigns on Kickstarter, but this takes the cake. UV light, diamond impregnated blade, and Bluetooth speaker? Get your pledges in now!

lmao, I have to add, I just read the ks page, it sounds like spandex lady may have been involved... he uses 'where' instead of 'were' - multiple times!?. Trust physics & advanced engineering to a guy who doesn't know the difference at your own risk ;) Oh, and he doesn't know the plural form of knife is knives... just wow

"The other chef knifes she was using where boring, not pretty enough and lacked functional design to the standards I thought she deserved."

lmao, he tried another invention 4 years ago, the komodo heating ceiling fan - check it out!

This guy has some kind of knack for embedding tubular emitters into household objects. First it was a "500% efficient" ceiling fan with heating elements, now it's a chef's knife with a UV lamp.

But I'm not seeing the knife discussion angle here.
 
it's pure genius ... I'm actually crying with tears of laughter here...
honestly surprised that the kickstarter review process is so non-existent, the fact this was actually made an official ks project says volumes about kickstarter. BRAVO! :D
 
1. List crazy Idea on Kickstarter.
2. Use funds to start company.
3. Pay self remainder of funds as salary.
4. Bankrupt company.
5. Profit.
 
Great, now I guess we'll see the next Koster run of vaporware knives sport blinky lights.

UV isnt a magic wand. It requires a specific nanometer wavelength to work, and generally doesn't "kill" germs. It scrambles their DNA to sterilize them. If a microbe can't replicate, then it can't make you sick.

I haven't read the KS page. Are the bulbs replaceable? Germacidal lamps usually have a very specific period of time where they work correctly. You want around a 265nm wavelength to do the trick.
 
he say's he'll use 254nm light, but honestly I'm pretty sure he's just picking numbers from the washington state u pdf he links to
there is no mention of changing the bulb, anywhere

honestly, copper or bronze I expect would be more effective & never need batteries or complications
