Not Your Ordinary Knife Blocks

I love my iPad — so when I saw this knife block with a shelf for a tablet, I knew it was time to write about knife blocks again. This knife block is made by Victorinox, although I'm not seeing it on the Victorinox web site yet. [via I New Idea]




Other knife blocks appealed to me because they're simply gorgeous. For example, take a look at the Mike Methieu's custom knife blocks, on his own website or on CustomMade.com.  Update on May 22, 2021: I'm no longer seeing Mike's own website, but he is still on CustomMade.




And here's a very different custom knife block from Phil Crane of Artistry in Wood.




Need to store a lot of knives of varying sizes? This knife block from Ute Design of Australia, which holds up to 20 knives, was designed for cooks like you. Update on May 22, 2021: I'm no longer finding the website for Ute Design.




And then there are the knife blocks made from reclaimed wood. These come from Viva Terra, but I found similar (if not identical) products at Bambeco and Gracious Home. Update on May 22, 2021: I'm no longer finding this type of product on the Gracious Home website, and the Bamboo website seems to have disappeared.
