Victorinox 9 Slot Knife Block

Secure Your Steel: The Victorinox 9-Slot Hardwood Knife Block


Stop dulling your edges in cluttered drawers with a compact, purpose-built storage solution that accommodates seven knives, a sharpening steel, and kitchen shears.


Every professional chef knows that the quickest way to ruin a high-quality knife is to store it loosely in a drawer. Metal-on-metal contact leads to microscopic chipping, rolled edges, and unnecessary wear on the bolster. The Victorinox 9-Slot Knife Block (7.9093.87) is engineered to solve this problem, providing a dedicated home for your most critical kitchen tools while keeping them within arm's reach during high-volume prep.


Whether you are a professional line cook organizing a personal station or a home culinary enthusiast curating a Swiss Classic collection, this block offers the stability and safety required for serious cutlery. The slanted design allows the block to sit comfortably under standard kitchen cabinets, ensuring you can pull your 8-inch chef's knife or 10-inch slicer without hitting the ceiling. Crafted from durable hardwood, this block provides a natural, non-abrasive surface for your blades, preserving the factory edge longer than plastic or magnetic alternatives. It specifically excels in environments where speed and safety are paramount, ensuring that every tool has its place and is ready for immediate action.

    When We Recommend the Victorinox 9-Slot Block

    Who it Fits Best

    This is the ideal solution for cooks who have outgrown 'starter sets' and are building a custom kit of 3 to 7 high-use blades. It's particularly popular with commercial cooks who need a personal counter block for their station.

    Where it Excels

    It excels in smaller kitchens or stations where vertical clearance is limited. The angle of the slots allows for 'low-profile' retrieval, meaning you don't have to pull the knife straight up.

    Professional Comparisons

    Compared to universal 'bristle' blocks, the 7.9093.87 provides much better stability and prevents knives from leaning or touching each other. It's more compact than the Wusthof 17-slot blocks, making it less intrusive on your prep space.

    Chef Feedback

    "Professional users often prefer this because it lacks 'filler' slots. You get exactly what you need: spots for a chef's knife, slicer, bread knife, utility, and parers without wasting space on steak knife slots you won't use in a professional setting."

    Trade-offs & Considerations

    This block is made to house 7 knives. If you have a larger collection you'll need more storage.
