This appeared in my YouTube feed yesterday and their pitch video was well done and compelling.

If this is legit as cool as it sounds, it should end up spreading in the market, no? Can it be patented up tight? Or are different approaches possible with slight variations?

Idk, depends on the price I guess

Chefs tend to be very traditional though

Speaking only for the US patent system here, but this can probably be patented in an extremely extensive way. If the company wants to be really protectionist, they could probably get a talented (and extremely expensive) patent prosecutor to keep the consumer kitchen knife market locked down for a while. Any alternatives would probably have to license the patent.
