Equipped with a built-in grater, the Stupendous Splendiferous ButterUp turns cold, hard butter into easy to spread ribbons of dairy goodness. If you keep your butter in the fridge you need this knife.

 

 

The product is developed by Sydney-based firm Design Momentum. The team launched their project on Kickstarter seeking $38,000 in funding. That target has been eclipsed five times over, as their current pledges total over $213,000 AUD with 11 days still left in the campaign.

 

 

The key design element is a built-in grater that aerates and softens butter making it easy to spread. A wider blade helps collect the grated butter and provides more surface area for spreading. The knife is made from stainless steel and is dishwasher safe. Below are the prototypes that led to the final design.
