#and was like 'wtf is that Alice's original Vorpal Blade on there?'

[victorluvsalice]

I've been spending my time in Sims 4 lately messing around in Build/Buy in my "Wiped Windenburg" building save, trying to get more fandom-based community lots sorted for a potential Tiny Town save file (to replace the now-broken Chill Valicer Save). And during my pottering around, trying to make The Ball & Socket from Corpse Bride as a bar and design a gym that at least brings to mind an Aperture Science test chamber from the Portal series, I stumbled across this knife block from Home Chef Hustle. And the the first thing I thought when I saw it was -- "Alice?"

Now, I know the etchings on the knives aren't anything like the one on Alice's famous Vorpal Blade, though etched knives in general do make me think of her. No, what made my mind immediately jump to our favorite knife-wielding Victorian was actually the shape of the first knife on the left there -- because it reminded me a lot of Alice's original Vorpal Blade, in the first game, American McGee's Alice. That one was longer and thinner than the one we got in Alice: Madness Returns, with no fancy carvings and a slightly curved blade with a point near the handle. Here's the icon for it in the original game (taken from this old IGN guide):

I mean, it's not EXACT, but it is similar, at least. Similar enough that I'm going to put this knife block into any kitchen any of my Alice Sims might have in the future. XD I mean, I think we can agree that these would be her kind of knives!
