Behind the Project

Paying homage to one of the most emblematic symbols of capitalism, the American Express card, this slightly modified design, made from the same metal as the classic card, transforms it into a sharp blade—perfect for splitting the bill right down the middle.

The initial prototype sketches for the Capitalism Knife.

The Capitalism Knife marks Nik Bentel Studio's debut into knife-based design products, serving as the first of many iterations to come.
