Where to put our knives??? We have tried many methods. Knife blocks, magnetic strips on the wall, sticking knives between the stove and counter... Nothing really worked for us. We wanted something that was interesting and took no counter space. It also had to be easily accessible and safe of course.
One day, at another trip to Goodwill, I saw these candle holders and my first thought was "These would be perfect because my husband is a Star Trek fan and these turned sideways look like that Star Trek enemy ship."
Can you see it??


There were a couple of short and tall candle holders. I bought them, took them home and showed my husband who just could not see my vision.


His first response was "Which Star Trek ship?" I said "You know... the movie we just saw." So my husband showed me various ships as I was attempting to tell him which scene I remembered. All I could remember was it was a funny looking ship and Spock was in the movie (not very helpful, I know).


Well my husband found it and informed me that we actually saw that movie a few years ago and this was his exact response when he texted me... "It was The Narada, Romulan mining ship turned into battlecruiser - captained by Nero. Described by Spock as "A particularly disturbed Romulan."


Can you tell who is the true Star Trek fan in this house?
But finally he saw my vision. I told him exactly where I wanted the candle holders installed (on the outside of a cabinet) and he put them up and we LOVE it. The knives are very secure, easy to reach and it looks good to us. Even our normal paring knives fit in there easily.
