The Nintendo Wii was first released in 2006, yet it is still one of history’s most enduring video game consoles. This is likely largely due to its unusual approach involving motion controllers that encouraged movement over stagnancy.
Perhaps the most iconic part of that console was its unusual handheld remotes (often accidentally thrown into TVs). Knafs has harked back to those remotes with an unusual EDC tie-in: its Landeriimote Special Edition knives.
A different kind of handheld
Based on Knafs’ Lander knife series, the Landeriimotes have seen their handles completely redesigned to resemble Nintendo’s Wiimote (or Wii Remote). The attention to detail is, in a word, exceptional.
Every detail of the Wii Remote is right where it should be, including the power button, directional pad and LED lights toward the bottom (which typically indicate the player and battery life). Even the handle scale on the opposite side has a properly placed B button.
The handle scale designs would have been enough to make this knife a fun, albeit goofy, tribute, but Knafs took it a step further. The brand even included a removable wrist strap nearly identical to the ones included with the Wii Remotes (a detail that could have saved some of those TVs mentioned above).
