Solid Wood Knife Block

A freestanding block cut from solid wood, with open slots rather than a closed cavity, so blades slide in from the side and you can see what is in each slot. On a worktop it looks like a piece of furniture rather than a gadget, and the bare wood warms up a kitchen of steel and stone. It is a substantial, long lived Lumen & Loam kitchen piece that stays out on display.

The wood is solid and left unstained. Open slots take cleavers, paring knives, scissors and a sharpening steel, and they dry properly, which a sealed block never really does. A non slip base keeps the block still when a blade is pulled out one handed. Knives are not included, so it can be matched to a set you already own rather than forcing you to replace one.

Three sizes: small, medium and large. Stand it beside the hob or at the back of a prep counter where it is reachable while you cook, rather than tucked into a corner. Keep it back from the edge of the worktop if there are children in the house. Wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, put knives in dry, and oil the wood occasionally with a food safe oil.
