Samsung has announced a new Chef Collection series item that brings the cutting-edge technology of their popular smartphone devices to the cutting-edge technology of kitchen devices. The Samsung Galaxy BLADE edge is the first smart knife that also has smartphone capabilities. The Galaxy BLADE edge comes with all of the features of the Galaxy S6, but in a chef’s knife form factor. Samsung capitalizes on the strength of the new Gorilla Glass 4 that we have seen survive some serious impact to bring this new device to market which will see thousands of impacts on the cutting board.
Samsung notes that the Galaxy BLADE edge utilizes a new patented ceramic coating that is tougher than stainless steel, yet lighter than plastic. Samsung’s designers focused on ensuring the curves and dimensions of the device resulted in an ergonomic tool. The ceramic coating is practical as well, creating a unique surface tension that keeps foods from sticking to the BLADE edge while cutting.
Samsung also packed in some new functional features in the Galaxy BLADE edge to help it perform in the kitchen. New sensors and algorithms analyze a user’s grip, dexterity and strength to create an efficient weight for maintaining the proper cutting rhythm. Samsung claims this will result in 50% faster cutting when compared to traditional, conventional knives.
Samsung’s KNOX security platform has also been modified for use in the Galaxy BLADE edge to include a finger-detection system to help users avoid accidental cuts. Should a user attempt to use the smart knife for nefarious purposes, such as a weapon, a special human blood sensor will trigger an automatic emergency call to the appropriate authorities.
The Galaxy BLADE edge comes with a full waterproof coating so it can be used in a variety of liquid substances as well as being sent through the wash. The smart knife is also unique in that it is fireproof for use in flambé situations. Samsung has included a stylus with a built-in S-Thermometer so it can function as a wireless meat thermometer.
Those who pay attention to advanced technology will also find that Samsung has developed their own custom NAND flash memory to be used in the Galaxy BLADE edge. Instead of UFS memory, Samsung developed U4CF or Ultra 4D Curved Flash. This memory, in addition to helping maintain the curved shape of the device, employs a series of 10nm-wide wormholes that can send data to distant cloud repositories instantaneously.
The Galaxy BLADE edge will be part of Samsung’s larger collection of connected kitchen devices and will make use of their new Samsung Kitchen app. Additional accessories will also be available soon, such as a mammoth tusk detachable handle or one made from olivewood. Special cases and a wireless wooden charging block are also planned.
Samsung does note that all descriptions about the Galaxy BLADE edge are subject to change without notice or obligation and the product, at least for now, is not actually real.
