This Star Trek Pizza Cutter

Wow, a pizza cutter shaped like the Star Trek Enterprise is actually a brilliant idea. So many pop culture spaceships have that big, circular center! They should do this for all of them. The Enterprise works particularly well, though, because it is still easy to hold. (The Millennium Falcon would be less so.) This thing’s got a stainless steel blade, so it is made to work. It’s not just a toy. It will really cut your pizza.

This Bullet Space Pen
