This knife isn’t for the faint hearted

I’m confused. I’m a vegetarian, to the extent that I like staying far away from meat. Yet here I am, writing an article about a knife that I find really cool, but I’d probably hesitate to use. The Ab Ovo seems like the kind of knife Hannibal Lecter would carry around. With its volcanic obsidian blade (no GoT fans, that isn’t dragon-glass) and 3D printed handle, the Ab Ovo knife is sure to get an extreme reaction out of you. Whether that reaction is one of awe or one of fear, solely depends on how bad-ass you are! Me? I’m the butter-knife kinds, personally… 😛
