{"product_id":"wooden-kitchen-knife-holder","title":"Wooden Kitchen Knife Holder","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnives kept loose in a drawer blunt each other and make reaching in a hazard. A \u003cstrong\u003ewooden knife holder\u003c\/strong\u003e solves both: each blade has its own slot, the cutting edges never touch anything metal, and you pick up a knife by the handle every time. The \u003cstrong\u003edurable wooden construction\u003c\/strong\u003e is the traditional choice because timber holds a blade without scratching it, and because the weight keeps the block steady when a knife is pulled out one-handed. It keeps the \u003cstrong\u003ecountertop tidy\u003c\/strong\u003e and puts your most-used tools within reach of the board — which, in a working kitchen, is the difference between cooking smoothly and searching mid-recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlotted knife storage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtects blade edges and keeps knives within reach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKitchen countertop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsert knives \u003cstrong\u003espine first\u003c\/strong\u003e. Sliding a blade in edge-down drags the cutting edge along the slot every time and is the fastest way to dull good knives in a block. Make sure knives are completely dry before storing them, since trapped moisture in a wooden slot is what causes both rust spots and a musty block. Empty and wipe the holder out every few months — crumbs collect in the slots. Keep it away from the edge of the counter and out of reach of children. Hone your knives regularly; a block protects edges but does not sharpen them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a drawer, a block protects edges and fingers. Against a magnetic wall strip, wood needs no drilling and suits rented kitchens, though a strip saves counter space and dries blades in the open. For an existing set of knives, a holder is the cheaper upgrade over buying a whole new block set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich way should knives go in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpine first.
