# Galactic Pocket Knives These Knife Handles Resemble Different Characters from Star Wars By David Ingram | Published 2015-12-07 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knife-handle References: [coolmaterial](http://coolmaterial.com/gear/wkrmn-star-wars-knives/http://coolmaterial.com/gear/wkrmn-star-wars-knives/) & [workerman.storenvy](http://workerman.storenvy.com/collections/573301-knives/?page=1) Saint Paul, Minnesota-based design studio WKRMN designed this set of high-quality [pocket blades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wesn-the-cell-shaded-allman) with knife handles that resemble characters from the [Star Wars film franchise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars). These high-quality foldout blades take cues from characters like Darth Vader, Yoda and the iconic Storm Trooper's body armor. Each knife handle is subtly decorated in a way that fans of the films will instantly recognize as a creative homage to the series. Each knife is also incredibly well-made and extremely sharp as well. The blades themselves are made from [carbon steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damascus) from New Zealand, and in some cases have been decorated with an intriguing pattern. The knives are also treated for rust protection, and will develop a natural and eye-catching patina over time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Themed Product Design:** Designing products with themes that attract fans can increase engagement and sales. - **High-quality, Customizable Products:** Creating high-quality products that can be customized with different themes and designs can differentiate a brand and attract a loyal customer base. - **Collectible Items:** Producing items that are collectible and hold sentimental value for fans can create a loyal customer base and lead to repeat purchases. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Gear:** Creating outdoor gear with themes from popular culture can attract a niche market of fans who enjoy combining their passions. - **Collectibles:** Designing collectibles with unique, customizable themes can create a loyal customer base that is eager to purchase the latest product releases. - **Gifts and Novelties:** Developing gifts and novelties based on popular themes can attract casual fans and create a broader customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Astronaut Crew Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkt-mbombo.md) - [Precise Artfully Intricate Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yin-mo-star-kui.md) - [Millennium Falcon Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tray.md) - [Sci-Fi Smartphone Grips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets-dimensionals-star-wars.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Dark Sci-Fi Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darc-sport.md) - [Hand-Knit Sci-Fi Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handknit-scifi-sculpture.md) - [Science Fiction-Inspired Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkt-minimalist-cthulhu-knife.md) - [Kukri-Style Blade Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandstorm-20.md)
