Knife Blocks

A knife block keeps edges protected and knives within reach, and this F. Dick block has nine slots, with room for a full set of knives plus shears and a steel. It holds a complete home kitchen set in one place.Storing knives in a block rather than a drawer keeps the edges from knocking against other utensils and dulling. The dedicated steel slot makes it easy to hone before each use. Choose knives to suit the slots, from a paring knife up to a chef’s knife and a bread knife.Insert knives with the edge facing up, so the edge does not drag on the slot.Fill it with knives such as the F. Dick 1905 8-inch chef’s knife, the F. Dick stamped kitchen shears and a steel such as the F. Dick 10-inch round regular cut steel. A magnetic option is the F. Dick designer magnetic knife block.

Secure, Space-Saving Storage for Your Essential Four A weighted 18/10 stainless steel foundation meets sustainably sourced ash wood for a stable, small-footprint storage solution. The Robert Welch Q Ash Knife Block is a direct response to the needs of the modern kitchen where counter real estate is at a premium but tool safety cannot be compromised. Handling this block, the first thing you notice is the significant heft of the base. Unlike lightweight plastic or pine blocks that tip when a heavy chef's knife is removed, the Q block utilizes a dense 18/10 stainless steel footing that keeps the center of gravity low and fixed. This ensures that even when housing a full load of four Signature series knives, the block remains anchored during rapid-access tasks. The body is machined from solid ash wood, chosen for its tight grain and natural resilience to impact. Each of the four slots is precision-cut to prevent blade rattling, ensuring that the sharpened edges of your cutlery do not contact the interior walls with enough force to dull the grind. The vertical orientation is specifically designed to minimize the 'reach' required in tight under-cabinet spaces, allowing you to draw a 20cm chef's knife without hitting the underside of your cabinetry. Visually, the mirror-polished steel base provides a sharp, professional contrast to the organic warmth of the ash wood. This is not a generic storage box; it is a specialized piece of kitchen hardware designed to protect the integrity of Robert Welch Signature blades while providing a tactile, vibration-free user experience every time you reach for a tool.

A knife block keeps edges off the drawer and the counter, and Wüsthof’s 17-slot walnut block holds a complete home collection in a footprint about the size of a cookbook. The dark, rich grain of walnut suits a kitchen with wood cabinets or butcher block counters.Customers ask us which knives fit which block. This one is planned around a typical kitchen, with wide slots for your largest blades and a row of narrow ones for a full set of steak knives. The exact widths of each slot appear in the Details, so you can measure the heel of your widest blade before ordering.The block holds knives from any brand, so it suits knives gathered from several makers or a Wüsthof set such as the Classic 9-piece block set. The same layout comes in acacia and black, and the 25-slot acacia block is the step up for a larger collection. Wüsthof’s pull-apart kitchen shears fit the shear slot. Learn More

Wüsthof’s 35-slot acacia block holds a serious collection in one place. Ten wide slots take chef’s and santoku knives from several brands, and there is room for twelve steak knives along with a cleaver and a carving fork.Customers ask us whether everything fits. Wüsthof notes the top row accepts a 12-inch knife and a 12-inch steel, which gives long slicing knives a home. The complete slot layout is listed in the Details.At 13 by 7.75 inches, it needs a good-sized stretch of counter, and it is a natural fit for a household with two cooks or a large collection gathered over years. For a smaller block that still has a cleaver slot, see the 25-slot acacia block. The Classic 15-piece block set gives a large starting collection to fill it, and the Classic 12-inch salmon slicer fits the long top-row slots. Turn the block over now and then to shake out crumbs.

Steak knives tend to end up loose in a drawer, where their edges knock against other utensils. Wüsthof’s 6-slot steak knife block keeps a set of six together and ready for the table, in a small natural wood block that takes up little counter or cabinet space.Each of the six slots is 7/8 inch wide, sized for steak knives and small paring knives, and the block measures only 4 by 5.5 inches, so it can sit beside a larger knife block or in a cabinet. It is block only; knives are sold separately.Customers ask us whether serrated or straight-edged steak knives fit; both do. The block holds the Classic 6-piece steak knife set and the Gourmet 6-piece steak knife set, and it suits a set of four, such as the Classic 4-piece steak knife set, with two slots to spare. For a block that holds steak knives along with kitchen knives, see the 17-slot walnut block. Learn More

The Zwilling Pro 10-slot walnut knife block holds up to eight kitchen knives, with a slot for shears and a slot for a honing rod. It is intended only for Zwilling Pro knives: the unique Pro bolster needs slots made to store it correctly, and this block was cut to fit them.Standard knife blocks are cut for knives with a full or straight bolster, so the curved Pro bolster may not seat properly in them; this block avoids that problem.Use it to house open-stock Pro knives, or to upgrade the storage for a Pro 3-piece starter set or a Pro prep knife set.

The small Acacia Magnetic Board keeps a few everyday knives within reach on the counter, standing on a folding stand that collapses flat for storage. It holds about four knives with blades up to 8 1/2 inches, depending on their shape.Recessed magnets in the acacia face hold any combination of knives, so there are no fixed slots to outgrow. Protective feet keep the board from sliding on the counter.
