# Space Agency Kitchen Knives Habitat Housewares' Products Feature NASA-Patented Knife Technology By Faria Hoque | Published 2017-11-30 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knife-technology References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/45956812/nasa-inspired-kitchen-knives-with-patented-technol?ref=home_featured) For the first time in 200 hundred years, knife technology has reached all new heights. Habitat Housewares collaborated with NASA to create patented knives with alloy metal that is twice as strong as titanium. This new technology makes these knives remain sharp for five times longer than the average steel market knife. Habitat Housewares recently introduced two new knives to the existing set: 'Santoko' and 'Pairing' Knives. Not only will consumers be impressed with how sharp these knives are, but their sleek and durable design is also an added bonus. Additionally, all of these knives are priced under $100, making them some of the best priced knives on the market. Whether cutting vegetables or preparing a steak dinner for guests, consumers can use these knives as a one-stop solution for all of their kitchen needs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nasa-patented Knife Technology:** The collaboration between Habitat Housewares and NASA to create knives with alloy metal twice as strong as titanium opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in kitchenware. - **Long-lasting Sharpness:** The knives' ability to stay sharp for five times longer than average steel market knives presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the cutlery industry. - **Affordable High-quality Knives:** The fact that these knives are priced under $100 while offering superior quality presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the kitchenware market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** The application of NASA-patented knife technology in kitchenware offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the industry. - **Cutlery:** The development of knives with long-lasting sharpness presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the cutlery industry. - **Consumer Goods:** The affordable high-quality knives from Habitat Housewares open up disruptive innovation opportunities in the consumer goods market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Award-Winning Performance Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-knives.md) - [Sensibly Sharp Elevated Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-task-knife.md) - [Astronaut Crew Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkt-mbombo.md) - [Minimalist Metallic Chef Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiskars-all-steel-santoku-knife.md) - [Gourmet Japanese Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiru-knife.md) - [Volcanic Topography Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cutlery-knives.md) - [Ultra-Slick Minimalist Knife Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-knife-block.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Damasteel Kitchen Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectors-edition-kitchen-knives.md) - [Exclusive Chef Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-chef-knife.md)
