Knife Block

Overview

A knife block is a wooden block that holds a set of kitchen knives point down. It belongs next to the main cutting area, within easy reach. Select it and pick a color: white, natural wood, bamboo, black, stainless, sage, terracotta, gray or navy, or any shade from the color wheel; the body changes while food, glass and trim keep their real-world colors.

Sizing & placement

It is 5 inches wide, 8 inches deep and 10 inches tall (about 13 × 20 × 25 cm). It has a small footprint, about the size of a hand, so it slots in at the back of the counter. Drop it on a base cabinet or kitchen island and it stands on the countertop at that counter's real height, even one you have made taller or shorter; it can also sit on a table, desk, dresser, buffet or bar. It never falls to the floor: with nothing under it, it sits at standard counter height.

Where it works

Kitchens, beside the cutting area. In the app it is in Furnish, on the Kitchen tab, under Counter Accessories; or search "knife block" or "knife holder".
