Knife Block

A good quality knife block will help extend the life and sharpness of a variety of knives. It is typically a slanted wooden block with slots for knives. A knife block typically has slots for steak knives, chef's knife, utility shears, paring knife, and other various kitchen knives. Many knife blocks feature attractive natural finishes and rubber feet to keep them safe from water damage in busy kitchens. Some knife blocks are designed to hold knives via a magnet placed inside the slots for extra security. Other styles are suited for in-drawer use to keep them safe without taking up extra counter space.

A knife block is often offered when a full set of knives are purchased. This provides the user with an ideal place to store and display the set while keeping knives close at hand. A knife block can be purchased separately when needed and can be outfitted with a wide variety of kitchen knives.
