These are called ‘Basic Knives’, even though they are anything but. Designed by Caroline Noordijk, each knife brings multi-purpose functionality. The point was to make other tools redundant by adding more cutting actions into each knife.
These knives do it all: peeling, grating, zesting, and measuring. I am not sure how this affects the knife performance, if any, but it’s an interesting concept.

yikes! i’d be scared of accidentally scraping myself with the knife edge though. some of these tools — zester, peeler, etc. require more than a bit of pressure to work it, and ouch! that would hurt quite a bit if your fingers happened to slip just so….
