It's been floating around LJ after Gizmodo posted about it. Worth noting: It's not actually *available* there. It's an art catalogue of unique pieces. It's not being sold.
Hrm. Are you sure it's not being sold? The link I put above is to the manufacturer's page, and they don't actually have it for sale, but they do list a number of distributors around the world.
I'm not entirely sure, no. That was the explanation provided in the Gizmodo article that seemed to be what kicked off the craze for the thing, but I don't know Italian well enough to verify it. If it *is* for sale, that'd be a cool thing. Because you're right about the niftiness. ;)

Third thought: "Of course, with that many knives stuck in him..."
