I mean, it’s something pretty unique to have a kitchen utensil by a heavy metal band, am I right? Dalstrong specializes in manufacturing precision-forged cutlery and high-end culinary tools. They have produced an extremely limited edition that serves as an extravagant homage to five decades of Thunderock, as per blabbermouth.net. This collection features Gene Simmons’s Hellfire Demon Axe, a functional piece of culinary art inspired by the legendary Axe Bass, reimagined as a meat-cleaving tool. It combines the axe motif with Sammy The Serpent, symbolizing a fusion of KISS history from its origins in New York City to international stardom and the “End Of The Road” tour at Madison Square Garden.
Designed as a one-time release to commemorate fifty years of KISS, the edition honors the band’s stagecraft with meticulous attention to detail, sharp edges, and refined finishes. The Hellfire Demon Axe is limited to 650 units, emphasizing its exclusivity and unique existence. The KISS-themed 2-piece chef and paring knife set is available in limited quantities during this initial release, with anticipation of rapid sales once awareness spreads. Similarly, the KISS steak knife set is produced in restricted numbers, characterized by its cult classic appeal.
In a video segment, Dalstrong interviews Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley backstage at the recent “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas” event held at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. They share their perspectives on the company’s KISS collection knives and the StudioForge Axe.
