Many assume those are cleavers and knives, which doesn't make much sense, since an actual knife set is on the counter, yet it's not easy drawing a 2d sprite of a pan or pot, maybe dev will redo the art by changing colors or something
Yeah I don't blame the artist as much as just the price of a pixel art style. Just made me feel silly after cause I wondered the same thing "Why would I need these if the knife block is right there?"
