If a wooden knife block is on your kitchen wish list, one made with bamboo is a more sustainable choice that is also very attractive. This large block is 8 inches high, 5.25 inches wide, and 11 inches long, and holds up to 19 knives, with an additional slot for kitchen shears or a sharpening rod. Serious chefs can study the helpful diagrams that detail the exact dimensions of the slots to make sure it holds their entire collection (just note that the width of your knife’s handle will also impact the fit as the knives are stored vertically). The slots are also angled for easy of use, so you aren’t pulling straight up into the bottom of your cabinets.
