Correction 3/15/24: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that KitchenAid would be in attendance at TIHS. Lifetime Brands will present several licensed KitchenAid products at the show.
The Inspired Home Show 2024 will once again feature hundreds of companies showing off thousands of their newest gadgets, products, and innovations in home goods and kitchenware. This year’s event, taking place at the McCormick Convention Center in Chicago from March 17-19, is a unique opportunity for brands to share what projects they’ve had in the works and inspire (pun intended) all your home and kitchen dreams with all kinds of appliances and gadgets worth splurging on.
Among those in attendance is Lifetime Brands, and they’ll be armed with a couple notable offerings from KitchenAid. Though most famous for its stand mixers, KitchenAid produces a wide variety of other kitchen items that will be of interest to any home chef. Here’s what KitchenAid products Lifetime Brands will be bringing along to TIHS.
KitchenAid’s Damascus Forged Knives will be on display
While KitchenAid has made knives in the past, nothing compares to its line of Damascus knives. Reportedly released in January 2024, each knife is forged with 67 layers of Japanese Damascus steel for ultimate precision and sharpness. They are built with a lightweight wooden handle for easier balance and control over your cutting motions, and an 18-degree blade edge to give you uniform slices every time.
The specs sound chef-worthy, and there’s good reason to consider adding a Damascus chef knife to your collection, but don’t take our word for it. Guests can see and feel these knives for themselves at TIHS 2024, as Lifetime Brands has confirmed KitchenAid’s newest cutlery line will be on display at this event.
KitchenAid’s Premium Damascus Ashwood Cutlery Block Set will also make an appearance
Anyone blown away by KitchenAid’s offering of knives at the show will be excited to learn that Lifetime Brands is also bringing along a matching block set.
KitchenAid’s Premium Damascus Ashwood Cutlery Block Set includes an 8-inch chef knife, an 8-inch slicing knife, a 5-inch santoku knife, a 5.5-inch serrated utility knife, and a 3.5-inch paring knife. Each knife is made with high-carbon Damascus steel blades, and sports a triple-riveted handle made of blonde pakkawood.
Best of all, the gorgeous knife collection can be safely (and beautifully) stored away in the ashwood block, complete with a stainless steel base. Chefs know there’s nothing like a fantastic set of knives — and one that also brings a modern, stylish look to your kitchen can’t be missed. Attendees of TIHS 2024 can get a first-hand look at this set — but don’t be surprised if you start picking out its spot on your kitchen counter as soon as you see it.
Lifetime Brands to showcase KitchenAid’s Universal Salad Spinner
Another KitchenAid product Lifetime Brands has confirmed will be showcased at The Inspired Home Show this year is its Universal Salad Spinner. This handy kitchen gadget is easy-to-use, refined, and durable, meant to last a lifetime in your kitchen. Not only does it wash and dry your produce quickly, among all the other clever uses for a salad spinner, but its parts can separate into multifunctional pieces. You can use the inner colander to quickly rinse anything from vegetables to cooked pasta, and the clear bowl works well as a simple serving dish for salads and other dishes.
Attendees at TIHS can test out the ease of the single-handed pump themselves, and for those who already want to get their hands on it, the salad spinner retails for around $40, and is available at Amazon, Target, Wayfair, and more.
