Bandit BBQ Utensils

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Barbecue Like a Swashbuckler with This BBQ Tool Set

— May 21, 2014 — Art & Design
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to wield a sword, now you can find out with this swashbuckling BBQ fork sword. To make you even more of a boisterous barbecuing bandit, this BBQ fork sword also comes with an all black Musketeer mask.

This BBQ sword adds some playfulness to summer barbecuing by turning a conventional two-pronged BBQ fork into a Musketeer sword. The fork’s handle has been converted into a sword by adding a vibrant red grip and metallic guard. If that’s not enough to make you feel like a buccaneer, you can wear the black bandit mask that comes along with the BBQ sword. Now every time you stab a hot dog wiener, hamburger to chicken thigh you can imagine you’re sending a notorious villain to a gruesome death.
