Call him a superhero. Call him an antihero. Call him insane. Deadpool has been called plenty of things, but now he can also be known as "knife block."

Instructables user Britt Michelsen (BrittLiv) dropped what may be the world's most unconventional cutlery holder into our lives and it's a sick beauty.

The Deadpool knife block is a DIY project that uses 3D modeling software and a 3D printer to create a bust of the sassy superhero with knife slots built into the top. Deadpool is fond of pointy objects and he's not afraid to wedge them into his foes. That's part of what qualifies him to be your personal knife caddie.

Michelsen used a MakerBot Replicator 2 printer to build the knife block. The custom paint job uses Deadpool's trademark red and black colors with white eyes. Michelsen couldn't fit the whole head into the Replicator 2, so it had to be printed in sections and then glued together into the final form.
